Is AI becoming a global race between the tortoise and the hare⁠?

This article discusses a perceived divergence in AI development strategies between the United States and China. The US approach is characterized by substantial, private sector-driven investments in AI data centers. In contrast, China appears to be adopting a more measured and environmentally conscious strategy, reassessing its data center investments partly due to the emergence of more efficient AI models and environmental regulations. This difference raises questions about the sustainability and long-term implications of each nation's chosen path in the global AI race. The piece suggests a potential "tortoise and the hare" dynamic, with China prioritizing a steadier approach.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «Is AI becoming a global race between the tortoise and the hare?»
