Tech giants converge on China AI threat

New Delhi: Growing concerns over China’s rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are driving an unprecedented alignment between US lawmakers and Silicon Valley, with both sides increasingly viewing the technology race as a strategic and economic battle, a report said.

At the Hill and Valley Forum, a platform aimed at bridging ties between Washington and Big Tech, leaders from government and industry signalled rare consensus that competition with China in AI has become critical to national security and future global dominance, according to a Fortune report.

It also highlighted that despite longstanding tensions over regulation, policymakers and technology executives repeatedly flagged China as the central challenge, warning that the outcome of the AI race could reshape economic and geopolitical power.
