The United States and China are intensifying their competition for dominance in artificial intelligence (AI), with the US currently leading in the quality of AI tools and planning a $500 billion investment in AI infrastructure. China holds nearly 60% of global AI patents and is pursuing a $150 billion domestic AI development plan aimed at becoming the global leader by 2030. Despite US tariffs and export restrictions on AI chips and semiconductors, Chinese companies have stockpiled significant quantities of Nvidia's H20 AI GPUs, with reports indicating around one million units accumulated before the US cut off shipments in April. Huawei is preparing to launch its own AI chips in the second half of the year as a potential alternative to Nvidia's technology.

Meanwhile, concerns have emerged about the US losing its edge in top AI tech talent, as investigations into Chinese company DeepSeek reveal a talent drain. Chinese AI researchers in the US face increasing scrutiny and political pressure. The US-China AI rivalry also includes allegations of Chinese espionage targeting American AI labs. Industry voices emphasize the urgency for the US to maintain its lead, while some experts advocate for cooperation through joint AI research efforts. The ongoing trade policies and export controls may inadvertently disadvantage US companies in the global AI race.
