Global Times rejects Anthropic's caution on AI; US infrastructure faces hurdles
What happened
Global Times rejected calls made by Anthropic's CEO to slow the pace of artificial intelligence growth. Separately, a report noted that while 93% of respondents in China felt AI would benefit their country, only 37% of Americans shared that optimism. This US anxiety over AI infrastructure has led to over a hundred data center projects being delayed or canceled.

Why it matters
The geopolitical commentary highlights the competition between the United States and China in the AI sector, where the gap between the two nations' most advanced AI systems has narrowed. Furthermore, new restrictions driven by US concerns could hamper not only AI systems but also other industrial projects requiring similar infrastructure.
Global media is currently reporting on discussions regarding AI slowdown calls involving Anthropic, Trump, and King Charles in Britain.
