Since the Trump administration, the U.S. has gradually increased its restrictions and blockades on China in the field of high-tech industries, with the aim to curb the development speed of China’s advanced technologies and maintain its own advantage over China. This approach has continued into the Biden administration without change. The same is true in the rapidly growing field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years. However, within the AI sector, the U.S. seemed to show a certain degree of willingness for cooperation with China at one point.
From 2023 to the first half of 2024, in exchanges at various levels between the two countries’ governments, the U.S. side consistently expressed a willingness to cooperate with China on the global AI regulatory framework. The most obvious example of this was the official invitation extended to the Chinese delegation to attend and speak at the first Global AI Summit held in November 2023 in the United Kingdom. Considering the close relationship between the U.S. and the UK, it would have been difficult to imagine the Chinese delegation’s attendance without U.S. permission. Subsequently, high-level government dialogues on AI were held between the U.S. and Chinese governments in Switzerland. For a moment, it seemed that China had returned to the global stage in the AI field. However, based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, researchers at ANBOUND believe that the “tech Cold War” between the two will persist and intensify, with no substantial shift in sight, particularly in the AI field.
