🤖 In which areas does the U.S. lead China in AI, and where does it lag?

The U.S. maintains advantages in the most advanced AI models and high-performance chips, although China is rapidly narrowing the gap. CSIS notes that the leading Chinese models are at most about six months behind their American counterparts.

For its part, China has strengths in electrical infrastructure, production capacity, and open-source models, as well as growing AI talent. J.P. Morgan highlights Chinese competitiveness on costs, openness, and the distribution of models.

At the same time, in the U.S. concerns are increasing about the expansion of data centers: 60% of Americans say they would feel uncomfortable if a new one were built in their area, according to Pew Research Center.

Competition between the two powers is increasingly spreading across more areas: chips, energy, data centers, talent, and the development of AI models.
