AI is going to be another avenue for the USA to spy on China after being cut-off without access to 5G. We all know that all the tech giants in USA are all connected to the USA Government and any information about China can be used to compromise China's national security. The USA Government is investing big in those entities, with the ability of using such AI apps to benefit the USA Government. Such connection between the USA Government and the private sector tech giants is not an issue to others, but Chinese companies which have little connection to the CPC are gloated to be so and sanctioned. The double standard application is so evidently clear and needs no further proving.
The USA Government is trying to prevent USA consumers from using Chinese AI for the same reason of national security. What is not revealed is in what way. Obviously, they know just as much about the issues and know that China could do the same to USA AI models trying to access the Chinese market. So, they must come up with a thorough excuse to make their attempt of keeping Chinese AI models out of the country convincing.

Actually, the USA knows its AI apps are too expensive to compete with Chinese AI apps, not just in China, but across the world and even within the USA itself.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, the USA Government has to ban others from operating in the country in order to safeguard its own AI companies or rather its sectorial lobbies. We have seen what had been done to 5G, to EVs and soon to AI.
Many people are under the misconception that USA entities like Google, Facebook and Youtube are banned from operating in the Chinese market. What I understand is that they are not banned, but because they have to operate under certain conditions on national security issues which they do not agree with. That is unlike the total banning of 5G, EVs and fabricated connections to the CPC.
The AI war will be fought between US and China. America will be using Indian AI talents. The Chinese AI talents will return to China to join China AI talents to fight the Americans.
ReplyDeleteWho will win?
China does not have to win. China just have to come up with alternatives, and the result will speak for itself.
DeleteChina did not start out to win the EV war. China just outcompeted the USA and others to become top EV maker. Consumers will determine who wins and is not for the USA or China to say so. Same will be for AI. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, not the gloating.
