A global AI safety strategy depends on US-China cooperation. They each see the other as the problem

You must adapt to a fragmented global regulatory environment where AI compliance is no longer a one-size-fits-all proposition. Professionals in tech policy, international business, and risk management should prioritise skills in geopolitical analysis and cross-jurisdictional compliance. Pay close attention to emerging differences between US and Chinese AI standards, as these will dictate market access strategies. A smart professional would immediately deepen their understanding of international law and tech ethics. Consider specialising in AI governance or regulatory affairs to bridge the gap between technical development and diplomatic reality. This shift demands that you become fluent in both technical constraints and international relations, positioning yourself as a vital interpreter in an increasingly divided digital economy.
