🧠The U.S. is preparing to tell dozens of countries they must choose between American and Chinese AI frameworks, warning that countries joining Beijing’s initiative could be excluded from the U.S.-led Pax Silica coalition, Reuters reports.

A draft State Department letter to 35 countries warns that membership represents a commitment and “cannot be held alongside membership in duplicative initiatives whose expectations conflict with our own,” urging governments to “choose deliberately” on AI.

The U.S. hopes forcing partners to choose sides will restrict China’s access to critical resources and technology.
