Countries Hedge Between U.S. and China as Rival AI Blocs Form

Countries are seeking access to U.S. chips and Chinese funding as rivalry narrows their choices, experts say.

  • As the U.S. and China solidify rival AI blocs, countries are maneuvering to avoid choosing between the American Pax Silica and China's World AI Cooperation Organization. Experts warn the window for such hedging may soon close.
  • Kazakhstan, a nation of about 21 million, joined the U.S. supply chain group in June before becoming a founding member of China's initiative and securing a $10 billion Nvidia investment deal.
  • Indonesian National Economic Council vice chair Mari Pangestu asserted that countries should be able to participate in both systems, as Indonesia seeks dual benefits from advanced chips and affordable models.
  • The U.S. State Department warned that nations cannot be "trusted partners" in Pax Silica while engaging in competing initiatives, signaling the bloc prioritizes American security alignment.
  • Every country is weighing AI sovereignty despite lacking capacity to build frontier models. Access to advanced systems may soon depend on the whims of policymakers in Washington and Beijing, analysts suggest.
