The US is using its dominance in AI-related hardware, like Nvidia’s chips, to lock in its leadership in AI, a key factor for global economies this century. The strategy also aims to pull non-aligned countries closer to the US by restricting global access to AI-necessary computing power.

Washington plans to divide the world into three tiers

1: The US and its allies (e.g., the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia) will have unlimited access to US-made chips.

3: Countries like Russia and China will have zero access — shipments to these nations will be banned.

2: Countries like India, Poland, the UAE, and Portugal will face strict limits on how much computing power they can get. These countries will need to apply for special licenses if they want to exceed these limits, with decisions likely based on factors like trade policy and human rights etc….

According to senior members of the House of Representatives China committee, the US is at a “once-in-a-generation moment” to use its AI tech advantage. Their goal: draw companies and countries away from Beijing’s influence.

Will this strategy work, or will it backfire, what do you think?
