Chinese State Media Says Calls for AI Slowdown 'Self-Serving'

Chinese state media accused leading US AI executives of using calls for slower development of frontier models to blunt competition from China, describing the push as a “self-serving” effort to preserve American dominance. An editorial published by state-owned China Daily said recent remarks from AI leaders in the US show how restrictions aimed at limiting China’s AI development are shifting to software after curbs on chips and equipment had failed to stop companies in the Asian nation from building competitive models.
