The United States is facing an unexpected arms race focused on artificial intelligence development, primarily against China. To stymie China's growing tech industry, Washington has implemented stringent restrictions on semiconductor exports. However, these efforts are complicated as Chinese companies sidestep these limitations by utilizing international data centers. They send engineers to countries like Malaysia, where American chips are still available. The engineers smuggle back AI training data, demonstrating both ingenuity and resilience in navigating US restrictions. This ongoing situation highlights the complexities of global tech competition and the challenges of governance in technological advancements.
