US Urges Countries to Choose Sides in AI Competition with China
The US is preparing to ask countries to choose between its Pax Silica initiative and China’s rival AI framework, warning that joining both could lead to exclusion from the US-led coalition. Pax Silica, launched last year, aims to secure supply chains for AI models, semiconductors, and critical minerals amid growing US-China technology competition. About two dozen countries, including US allies and Kazakhstan—which has joined both initiatives—are involved. The US seeks to limit China’s access to resources critical for AI development, while China promotes its own AI cooperation organization.
