The Chinese Ambassador spoke about the competition between China and the United States in the field of artificial intelligence

The United States considers China to be its main strategic competitor in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to Russia Zhang Hanhui said this on Tuesday, August 26.

The diplomat recalled that the administration of US President Donald Trump had previously published a document entitled "Victory in the Artificial Intelligence Race: America's AI Action Plan," in which the confrontation with China is given a special place. In addition, the United States has begun to impose new restrictions on the export of new technologies to China.

"Such a narrow practice of creating a "small courtyard with a high fence" only exacerbates the global split in the technological sphere and hinders the development and progress of technology," the ambassador said in an interview. Lenta.Ru .

Zhang Hanhui also said that various digital developments of well-known Russian companies can be used in China, RT reports.

On July 24, The Guardian newspaper reported that Trump had signed three executive orders aimed at developing artificial intelligence technologies. According to the publication, these decrees became part of the "Winning the Race" plan, a long—promised document that was announced shortly after Trump took office and canceled the order of the administration of former US President Joe Biden on artificial intelligence, which prescribed some security measures and standards regarding technology. It outlines the White House's vision for managing artificial intelligence in the United States, and promises to accelerate the development of the fast-growing technology by eliminating "bureaucracy and burdensome regulation."

Prior to that, on July 23, it was reported that Beijing intends to intensify research in the field of artificial intelligence with partner countries within the framework of the BRICS. The need to open up new promising areas of economic growth and expand cooperation in the field of digital technologies was noted.
