Overview
Debate over the pace and governance of artificial intelligence is becoming a sharper US-China geopolitical issue. Anthropic’s call to restrict China’s access to AI technology drew a response from Beijing, while Donald Trump rejected tighter controls as potentially harmful to US competition. China has instead urged international cooperation, leaving the dispute centered on whether security concerns should produce technology restrictions or shared rules.
