AI: US and China must rise above a zero-sum race
==========
The US and China are at the forefront of AI development, but the portrayal of it as a zero-sum game oversimplifies the complex nature of AI development and global technological progress. The US already commands a lead in AI, with a market that champions quality, diversity, and global infrastructure. However, the US' pursuit of AI supremacy risks undermining collaboration and generating unforeseen consequences. Divergent AI regulations could harm global ethical standards, and the US' latest proposal to require cloud firms to disclose foreign customer details faces execution challenges. China, with its vast data collection capabilities and integrated digital ecosystems, positions itself as a sound contender in the AI race. True advancement in AI may come from a transformative approach that redefines competition itself, with standardised rules and international cooperation. Implementing a framework for AI regulation and governance will be challenging due to the complexity and borderless reach of AI. The path forward should merge competitive spirit with a commitment to shared goals, shaping a future where AI serves as a bridge between nations.
