US wants to force partner countries to choose between Washington and Beijing in the AI race

The United States is drafting a letter to international partners requesting that they align their artificial intelligence policies with Washington rather than Beijing. This move aims to solidify a geopolitical coalition to restrict China's access to advanced computing capabilities and AI development resources. By formalizing these requirements, the U.S. is seeking to tighten control over the global semiconductor and AI hardware supply chains. The initiative marks a shift toward leveraging diplomatic pressure to prevent partner nations from facilitating China's technological advancement.
