U.S. and China export rival AI governance models to developing countries
The effort highlights how the AI competition is shifting from model-building to the export of rules, funding and training ecosystems.
The artificial intelligence race is increasingly being framed as a contest of governance, with the United States and China pushing different approaches to how AI should be funded, regulated and implemented worldwide, according to SCMP Economy.
The outlet describes U.S.-sponsored training in Burkina Faso, where dozens of young people in Ouagadougou learn digital technology and AI basics aligned with the American tech ecosystem.
In China, the report points to a separate training effort at the Suzhou Industrial Park Institute of Vocational Technology in Jiangsu, where trainees from Indonesia and Laos study digital transformation and intelligent industrial automation through a Chinese perspective on AI.
The story also notes Chinese President Xi Jinping’s remarks at a world AI conference, where he urged an inclusive approach and encouraged collaboration without rivalries.
