Some analysts believe, to engage the United States and China, in an AI arms race

Just over two years ago, China announced a bold plan, "The World in AI [Artificial Intelligence ] technology and applications up to 2030".

It is already in many aspects.

can be knocked off his plans, of course, the U.S. limitation of certain developed or manufactured in the United States .

Washington, the rationale is that the participating organizations have used products to commit Human Rights abuses against China's Muslim Ethnic Minorities .

But it is notable that those included on its blacklist, many of China's official "national AI-champions", including:

the telecoms company Huawei , before they engage you, you are now in front of larger disturbances as a result of the Trump administration.

That's partly because they are dependent on American know-how.

sense time, for example, (WITH) last year to jointly Fund research projects. And to develop Yitu recently, algorithms to diagnose diseases in children.

Hikvision is one of The World 's largest providers of surveillance-camera-equipment

The Move also carries the risk of jeopardizing the ability of the company to attract foreign investment. The news Agency Bloomberg has already proposed that a planned $1 billion flotation by.

But perhaps The Most crucial, the blacklist threatens to be set, the train, the supply of computer chips and other components, the Hikvision is needed to build up his surveillance cameras, and the other to your algorithms.

Chinese chips

The USA is the undisputed market leader in the Semiconductor .

Whether its CPUs (central processing unit) and GPUs (graphics processing units) from tech giants such as Intel and Nvdia, or chips, specializing in the AI-related tasks, the less well-known companies like Ambarella and On Semiconductor - American companies offer the tech, which is the basis of the Chinese tech company's " progress.

This dependency has not gone unnoticed.

currently, only 16% of the semiconductors used in China are in the country, and only half of those from local businesses -

Megvii ' s face++ technology is used to verify people's ID for mobile payments and other services

But the study finds that Beijing aims to increase this figure to 40% by the end of next year, and lift you up to 70% up to 2025.

"for decades, building indigenous Chinese chips the efforts of the government," Matt Sheehan, author of The Transpacific Experiment - a book about China and the US-American tech bindings was, said the BBC.

"Moves The Entity lists that claim to have a compelling need for the government, but also potentially a matter of life or death for the Chinese private enterprises.

"that doesn't mean That you can get it in the foreseeable future. This is one of The Most complex technical tasks, a, the decades of accumulated, often requires in-house knowledge and experience.

"But it seems that China's own AI-chip to start-ups, not behind the Bar, or new orders in the foreseeable future. "

in recent weeks, computer server chips, especially on the implementation of machine-learning tasks at High Speed . presented

Xiaomi has also said they are working on a similar product.

Meanwhile, smaller start-ups to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of funds for other types of AI-processors, or have backed up.

the American companies are not Standing Still , but a Washington-based think-tank, warns that the United States should not consider his conduct to be impregnable.

"US companies also develop specialized AI chip,"

"Nevertheless, China's development of well-funded AI span start-ups and improvements in the chip design, it may be able to get at least something from The Gap . "

Huawei claims of the new AI chip provides "more processing power" for machine-learning tasks than its competitors

He added that the EU was a "latecomer" in this field in the comparison.

National Security

All of these things, because AI-controlled technologies have the potential to be company trained more productive citizens better and healthier and also armies better equipped, to lead to wars.

"China's success in commercial AI-and Semiconductor -market has direct relevance for China's geopolitical power," said Gregory Allen for the.

"It reduces the ability of the government of the United States to put diplomatic and economic pressure On China . it is the technological capabilities available to China's military and intelligence community increases.

"in terms of the latter, substantially all of the major technology companies in China work closely with China's military and security forces and are required by law to do so. "

you can serve brakes On China 's AI champions, the US's own National Security and foreign policy interests in the short term.

it could But that determination ultimately, the track on the Communist party of China, to your tech brings industry less dependent on foreign partners, with all the financial and geopolitical consequences.
