The US and China duke it out, restricting each other’s access to materials and technology related to AI research and development
The United States and China are engaged in an ongoing tech war revolving around the future of artificial intelligence (AI), according to a recent news release from GlobalData, a London-based data analytics and consulting company.
Both nations are doing their best to keep the other from acquiring technology and materials that would, among other things, enhance their military’s ability to use and develop AI.
For instance, according to the report, in response to the US’s CHIPS and Science Act, a move that would limit China’s access to US chip manufacturing technology, and other export restrictions, China responded by implementing export controls on gallium and germanium, materials used in manufacturing solar cells and semiconductors.
In fact, on Wednesday, Reuters reported that a Chinese embassy spokesperson in Washington said that China was "very disappointed" that the US decided to prohibit some investments in technology.
The Chinese raised concerns in a statement from the embassy spokesperson that US restrictions “seriously undermine the interests of Chinese and American companies and investors [and that] China will closely follow the situation and firmly safeguard [its] rights and interests."
