Source: The Guardian World - Published: 20 Sep 2026 09:00

China is pushing back against US warnings regarding the rapid development of artificial intelligence, viewing these calls as attempts to maintain US dominance in the field. While US AI models currently lead in capabilities, China is focused on balancing safety with the pace of innovation, seeing AI as a critical component of national sovereignty and economic growth.

The Chinese government is actively promoting AI integration across various sectors, despite concerns about safety and control. Local initiatives are encouraging companies to adopt AI technologies, reflecting a strong belief in mastering AI rather than slowing down its development, even as risks associated with advanced AI continue to be discussed globally.
