The Spin

Anti-China narrative

This is an important move by OpenAI. If Washington allows Beijing to continue using and improving on American artificial intelligence technologies, China will win the AI arms race and not look back. The US must stop treating AI like a science project to be shared with friends before it's too late.

Pro-China narrative

This US government-ordered ban by OpenAI won't stop China from thriving in this realm. China-based companies have already equaled or bested US companies in several areas of AI, and other companies are on the rise. By cutting its AI companies off from China, the US is missing out on diplomatic and economic opportunities.
