PHYSIX OBSERVATION

China and the US have put AI safety on the negotiating table, but the real risk lies on the commercial side: US AI investment runs into the trillions of dollars while the revenue model remains undefined, and if the bubble bursts the shock will reach far beyond the tech sector. The stark gap in public attitudes also shows that AI adoption depends not only on technology but on social trust. If the November talks cover only safety and not the pace of investment, they will likely fail to address the underlying anxiety.
