The Government led by Donald Trump is determined to make the decisions that are necessary to sustain US leadership in the scope of the artificial intelligence (AI). This technology has a critical value for the great powers. In fact, The dispute over world supremacy that China currently maintains and the US turns largely around it. And he does it because his applications are presumably unlimited.
The AI is already being used for medical diagnosis through image analysis, to design new drugs or to produce new materials, Among many other possibilities. But it can also be used to develop very sophisticated weapons. Last week James David Vance, the US vice president, He spoke a speech During the last day of the summit dedicated to AI in Paris in which he expressed very clearly what is the position of his country in this area:
“The most powerful artificial intelligence systems are built in the US with chips designed and manufactured in America (…) USA is the leader in AI, and our administration plans to keep it like this. We have all the components throughout the entire chain of Value, including the advanced semiconductor design, avant -garde algorithms, and, of course, transformative applications. ” This is a declaration of intentions, although the US does not have everything in its favor.
More than a third of the US experts come from China
A good part of the companies that have developed advanced AI models are American. Openai, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, Meta, IBM, Chere or Xai, among others, are from the US. However, the knowledge that sustains innovation in the country currently led by Donald Trump is not exclusively in the hands of US researchers; Chinese scientists are making decisive contributions to the US ecosystem.
In the US there are more Chinese experts in AI than professionals with a strictly American origin
According to a group of researchers from the Paulgo Institute in Chicago (USA), 38% of AI experts who develop their professional career in the US have trained in Chinese universities. In fact, this American institution has concluded that In the US there are more Chinese experts in AI than professionals with a strictly American origin. This, According to Nikkei Asiasome experts in the industry concern due to the possibility that China decides to repatriate their students and researchers from the US to reinforce their AI industry.
Some of the best centers dedicated to the science and technology on the planet are in China. The Tsinghua University of Beijing, the Jiao Tong University of Shanghai, the Zhejiang University of Hangzhou, the University of Science and Technology of Hefei or the University of Technology of South China, in Canton, are just a few. All of them have something important in common: they are world reference centers in technology, innovation and applied science. And many of his students are working in the US. At the current situation It is understandable that some American experts are concerned about the possibility of losing these qualified personnel.
