Letter to be sent to 35 signatories of AI Opportunity Statement for cooperation on AI models, chips and critical minerals
Recipients to include Kazakhstan, only known member of both US and Chinese coalitions and a source of critical minerals
The United States is preparing to tell dozens of countries they must pick sides in the artificial intelligence race with China, warning they will be excluded from a US-led AI coalition if they also sign up for Beijing's competing framework, according to a US official and an internal draft reviewed by Reuters.
Washington last year launched the Pax Silica initiative aimed at securing supply chains for AI models, semiconductors and critical minerals, amid a fierce technology rivalry with Beijing.
