One signal

Bloomberg journalists will take questions on the US-China AI race in a live Q&A on Friday 25 September at 9am EDT, or 9pm HKT. The session focuses on how the rivalry between the two superpowers is shaping the pace and direction of AI development.

Why it matters

That makes this more useful than another vague “AI is geopolitics now” dispatch. Readers can put questions directly to journalists covering the competition, including the awkward ones about safety, export controls, investment and whether racing harder is actually a strategy. The event is a discussion opportunity, not a new policy announcement or technical breakthrough. Still, with Washington and Beijing pushing for advantage while arguing over the risks, the choice of questions may reveal which part of the contest people most want explained.

Discuss: Should the US-China AI race be slowed by shared safety rules, or would that simply hand an advantage to whichever side ignores them?
