The technological confrontation between the United States and China is heating up as the artificial intelligence race turns into a strategic conflict that leads to the reshaping of the international balance of power.
By imposing strict restrictions, Washington seeks to ban Chinese companies’ access to advanced electronic chips and supercomputing technology, for fear of using them to develop Beijing’s military capabilities. In contrast, China has moved to strengthen its digital independence and responded by imposing restrictions on the export of raw materials essential to global supply chains.
Tensions continue to rise between the two superpowers amid mutual accusations of hacking and digital espionage, as control over artificial intelligence algorithms and data infrastructure has become an essential pillar for imposing hegemony over the economy of the future.
