While the two major countries are competing economically, the United States appears to be losing the race to China in terms of technology and technical development.
On a “good, bad God” basis, US sanctions have prompted Chinese tech companies to accelerate research into artificial intelligence without relying on the latest US electronic chips, the Wall Street Journal reports.
China is subject to US sanctions
Companies are exploring methods that allow them to achieve the best and latest AI performance with fewer or less powerful semiconductors.
Telecommunications firm Huawei Technologies, research firm Baidu and e-commerce giant Alibaba Group have also begun looking at ways to combine different types of chips to avoid becoming dependent on one type of device. chips.
And she believed, citing researchers and analysts, that if the study were successful, it would allow Chinese tech companies to resist US sanctions and make them more flexible in the face of future restrictions.
The report also indicated that US sanctions are encouraging Chinese tech companies to accelerate research into advanced artificial intelligence without relying on the latest US chips.
In turn, artificial intelligence researcher Susan Zhang believes that China should encourage innovation in the development of general artificial intelligence after the US Department of Commerce imposed comprehensive restrictions on the supply of chips to Beijing last October.
In parallel, Chinese companies have sought to use various software techniques to reduce the computational intensity of training large-scale AI models, an approach that has recently accelerated globally, including among US companies.
The documents show that, unlike US companies, Chinese companies have been much more daring in merging multiple software technologies.
ChatGPT is a worldwide craze
The launch of OpenAI ChatGPT last November sparked a global AI frenzy.
While many of these approaches are still well established in the global research community and difficult to implement, Chinese researchers have had some success.
America and China, the world’s two largest economic powers, are engaged in a political struggle over several issues, including the economic one.
While the race in science and technology takes a major role in this hidden struggle.
