Anthropic has released a research paper urging the United States and its allies to secure a commanding lead in artificial intelligence over China by 2028. The AI firm warns that if democratic nations fail to maintain a significant head start, authoritarian regimes could use transformative AI to enable large-scale state repression and shift the global balance of power.
While the U.S. currently leads in "compute"—the specialized hardware necessary for training advanced models—Anthropic notes that Chinese labs are narrowing the gap by exploiting loopholes in export controls and utilizing "distillation attacks" to harvest innovations from American models. The paper outlines two divergent scenarios for the near future based on current policy choices.
