No. 1 factor that will define whether US or China wins AI race is ..., says Microsoft President Brad Smith
Representative Image Beijing is rapidly closing the gap on the United States in the global artificial intelligence race, sparking fears that China's advancements could fuel strategic military capabilities and amplify disinformation, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Multinational banks, universities, and tech companies across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia are increasingly adopting Chinese language models like DeepSeek, signaling a shift in AI dominance. DeepSeek's AI model made headlines earlier this year when it triggered a massive U.S. stock sell-off, reportedly developed in less time and at a fraction of the cost of American counterparts. This cost-effectiveness, coupled with China's open-source AI models, is drawing global adopters. Alibaba's flagship open-source model, for instance, has spawned over 100,000 derivative models, allowing developers to customize solutions, enhancing their competitiveness. What Microsoft President Brad Smith told US Senate on AI race 'The No. 1 factor that will define whether the U.S. or China wins this race is whose technology is most broadly adopted in the rest of the world,' Microsoft President Brad Smith told a Senate hearing last month. 'Whoever gets there first will be difficult to supplant. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo 'China's ambitions extend beyond economics. Military journals suggest Beijing is exploring AI for strategic advancements, raising concerns about potential unrestricted AI development if cooperation with the U.S. on safety and security falters. Such a scenario could lead to unprecedented military and societal threats, experts warn. Chna's DeepSeek vs America's OpenAI Despite U.S. restrictions on chip exports, Chinese firms have thrived, posing challenges for American tech giants like Google, Meta, and Nvidia. Nvidia alone could lose $10 billion in revenue due to restricted sales of its H20 AI chip to China, according to Jefferies. This marks a stark contrast to 2018, when U.S. investors funded 30% of the $21.9 billion Chinese AI sector, per PitchBook. U.S. companies are fighting back. OpenAI, led by CEO Sam Altman, is expanding its AI reach in Europe and Asia to maintain dominance. 'We want to make sure democratic AI wins over authoritarian AI,' Altman said in May. However, China's lower-cost models, like DeepSeek—described as 17 times cheaper yet comparable in quality by Latenode co-founder Oleg Zankov—are pressuring U.S. competitors to justify their pricing. Additionally, clients prioritizing data security are drawn to Chinese open-source models, which can operate offline, further boosting their appeal. As global adoption of Chinese AI grows, experts warn that Beijing's bots could become a powerful tool for spreading state-influenced narratives, amplifying China's global influence. The race for AI supremacy is intensifying, with far-reaching implications for technology, security, and global power dynamics.

DNA Explains: Decoding China's Newest Missile That Can Be Launched From Space
China has achieved a technological breakthrough that has sent shockwaves across the globe, a capability to launch missiles directly from space. According to a report in China's newspaper, the South China Morning Post, Beijing has acquired the ability to launch missiles from space. The report claims that China has developed hypersonic missiles capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 20, 20 times the speed of sound. With this technology, China can now launch missiles from space, including from existing or small space stations. In today's DNA, Zee News Managing Editor Rahul Sinha analyzes the details behind China's claims that its new missile technology is capable of global strikes from space. #DNAWithRahulSinha | #DNA #China #ChinaMissile @RahulSinhaTV — Zee News (@ZeeNews) July 3, 2025 How Does This Technology Work? The technology behind these missiles is based on hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs), which operate in two stages. If China installs such missiles in any of its space stations, they can be controlled by command centres on Earth. These command centres can remotely launch hypersonic glide vehicles from space stations. The glide vehicles, traveling at extremely high speeds, will first re-enter Earth's atmosphere and then head toward their targets, making their trajectory unpredictable and difficult to intercept. Why Has This Technology Sent Shockwaves Across the Globe? The design of these space-launched missiles is so advanced that conventional air defence systems may not be able to detect or intercept them in time. By the time conventional systems identify the trajectory of the missile, it is already very close to its target. How Did China Achieve This So Quickly? China launched its hypersonic missile program in 2010. By 2017, it had conducted the first successful test and soon after began working on technology to launch missiles and rockets from space. According to an American scientific report, China tested its hypersonic missile program again in 2021, and now, in just 15 years, China's hypersonic missile capability has moved from theoretical calculations to operational reality in space. Strategic Implications For Chinese President Xi Jinping's expansionist policy, the technology to launch missiles from space can be considered nothing less than a 'Brahmastra' (ultimate weapon). However, this capability has not made China invincible—there are still ways to intercept missiles launched from space. Can This Threat Be Countered? There are some ways to counter such threats from Chinese space-launched missiles. For example, it is possible to destroy the satellite or orbital platform from which the missile was launched. Along with the United States, China, and Russia, India has also acquired technology known as anti-satellite weapons to destroy satellites in space. In 2019, through a successful test of its Prithvi missile, India demonstrated to the world that the new India is now prepared to counter threats from space as well.

Foxconn Technology's 'Plan B' to rescue iPhone production in India
Foxconn operates 223 factories and offices across 24 countries, including 12 in India Aashish Aryan Shine Jacob New Delhi/Chennai Listen to This Article A day after news emerged that Foxconn Technology Group was 'forced' by Beijing to send back its Chinese engineers and technicians from its Tamil Nadu plant, sources indicate that the global electronics giant has already drawn up an alternative plan to rescue its India iPhone 17 production by bringing in experts from mainly Taiwan and the US. The move to call back employees is seen as a strategy to disrupt the efforts by Western tech firms to shift manufacturing away from China. It is also seen as a continuation of the diplomatic tussle between India and China. Chinese authorities were
