In a significant move to support its burgeoning artificial intelligence sector, China has introduced a novel initiative offering 'computing vouchers' to AI start-ups. These vouchers, aimed at underpowered start-ups, are part of a broader strategy to mitigate the rising costs associated with data center operations. At least 17 Chinese city governments have pledged to provide these subsidies, with the value of vouchers ranging from $140K to $280K. This initiative is seen as a way to level the playing field with China's tech giants and fuel the country's AI dreams despite challenges such as chip shortages. Concurrently, in the United States, there's a growing concern over data risks associated with China, prompting a reevaluation of tech policies. Experts from Cooley telecom have highlighted FCC initiatives that could enforce greater scrutiny of telecommunications products to address national security gaps.
