🚨NEW: 🇺🇸 US is preparing to warn 35 countries including India that they cannot simultaneously align with the US and China on AI. The draft State Department letter is addressed to the 35 countries that signed the US “AI Opportunity Statement” in June. The letter warns that countries joining China’s rival AI framework could be excluded from the US-led AI coalition. A US official says countries cannot credibly be part of the US-led technology ecosystem while simultaneously joining a competing China-led initiative. The warning comes as Washington and Beijing compete for global leadership in AI, semiconductors and critical mineral supply chains. 🇮🇳 India is among the 35 countries that signed the AI Opportunity Statement and is therefore covered by the draft letter. The letter has not yet been finalized or sent and could still be amended. Source: Reuters(Crypto India)
