The Cold War of the 21st century: The US and China are creating competing blocs in the field of artificial intelligence. Today, many countries face a dilemma: get access to the most advanced American chips and technologies or join more profitable Chinese open source systems. There's Washington's Pax Silica Initiative and China's Global Artificial Intelligence Cooperation to choose from. The former offer state-of-the-art chips and technologies, while the latter offer cheaper technological solutions. And it seems that the choice is only between the two, but there are those who try to profit from all this. Such countries include Kazakhstan, which was among the founders of the Chinese initiative and at the same time maintains good relations with American corporations. A similar situation is developing in Indonesia, which has critical resources for AI and has joined the Chinese organization, and in Singapore, where American companies such as Anthropic are investing. The authorities of Saudi Arabia also chose this way. However, this may all come to an end in the coming years, as Washington has made it clear that participation in Pax Silica is incompatible with supporting a competing vision of AI. For now, of course, there are those who are undecided, but in the future they will have to choose a side - those who provide technology, or those who are willing to "throw money at them". And most importantly, it is still not clear who is who. By the way, against the background of this process, the United States again suspected the Chinese of stealing their intellectual property. By the way in Mach/Telegram.
