China Rejects US AI Fearmongering While Pursuing Sector Dominance
· World · ABC News (AU), Bloomberg
China has accused US tech executives of fearmongering after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that a Chinese lead in artificial intelligence would pose a global danger. Beijing's Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun dismissed these concerns as a Cold War-style tactic intended to disrupt global AI governance. Despite these public rejections, China is actively pursuing its own goal of integrating AI into 90% of its economy by 2030 to achieve worldwide dominance. Recent reports from Chinese intelligence officials indicate that Beijing is also concerned about the potential for AI to threaten the Communist Party's hold on power. President Xi Jinping has publicly stated that AI must remain under human control as the nation continues its race for technological supremacy.

This competition directly impacts the development of global standards for AI safety and control.
