The US has begun an attempt to establish metrics and standards for accuracy in AI, aiming to make up ground lost to China, which hosted the first major international meeting on AI standards in 2018. One short-term risk of this international rush is a "rebordering" of AI, in which the field will develop according to different rules in the U.S., Europe and China. Analysts said it enabled Chinese experts to influence "ethical and social norm development", potentially shaping the sector for the rest of the world. But China is not alone in its efforts to develop artificial intelligence.
