S&P Global Warns of Financial Risks in US-China Artificial Intelligence Race
A report by S&P Global Ratings warns that the US-China artificial intelligence race may encounter financial risks, including a possible AI bubble burst and mass layoffs within three years. The competition involves five AI ecosystem layers: power, chips, infrastructure, models, and applications. China leads in power availability and national coordination, while the US excels in investment scale and access to advanced technology. Both face challenges: US data center growth is limited by market returns, and China risks overbuilding infrastructure amid aggressive local investments.
