The US is demanding countries in its Pax Silica coalition choose sides in the AI race against China, pressuring partners to avoid Chinese AI initiatives and comply with export controls on crucial hardware. Europe faces strategic dilemmas balancing its AI autonomy ambitions against its alliance with the US, while China's AI governance group WAICO expands influence among other countries.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must act fast if your AI tech depends on global supply chains or markets; early alignment with US-led export controls risks locking you out of China’s growing AI ecosystem. Europe’s AI autonomy offers a critical opening to avoid having to pick sides so soon and maintain competitive access.
