Image: South China Morning Post · original report

A South China Morning Post analysis examines calls by leading American AI executives for “pacing”, or a slowdown in development, amid competition between the United States and China. It considers whether the countries can pursue strategic stability while maintaining rapid technological progress.

A South China Morning Post analysis examines whether concerns about artificial-intelligence risks can overcome the competitive dynamics of the US-China technology race. The discussion is framed around a planned meeting between the presidents of the United States and China in Washington. The world will be watching whether the two countries can advance an agreement to work towards “constructive strategic stability”, the source says.

The analysis focuses on calls by leading US AI executives for “pacing”, described as effectively slowing development after years of rapid progress. It also examines how that idea is viewed in China. The supplied material identifies Chong Ming Lee and Vincent Chow as the authors of the sixth part of a series.

It does not provide their conclusions, the executives’ names or details of the proposed measures, so the analysis’s final assessment cannot be summarised further.
