U.S. to tell partners they must pick sides in AI race with China
Washington is warning other nations they will be excluded from a U.S.-led coalition if they also sign up for Beijing's competing framework.
The United States plans to inform numerous nations that they must choose between joining a U.S.-led AI coalition or aligning with China's competing framework, according to an internal draft obtained by reporters. This decision comes as part of Washington's strategy to exclude countries from the coalition if they also participate in Beijing's AI initiative, known as Pax Silica.
The draft reveals that around two dozen countries, including Kazakhstan and key U.S. allies like Japan, Australia, and South Korea, have already committed to the U.S.-led coalition. These countries have been selected due to their potential in providing critical minerals and their strong ties with the United States. The U.S. government's move aims to strengthen its technological advantage and safeguard its technological interests amid the intensifying rivalry with China.
