Abstract
The advent of deep learning models and the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), computing power has become a pivotal factor influencing overall technological development, especially in the current age of AI. In this age of generative models and quantum computing, a competitive landscape has emerged, particularly between two global superpowers: the West, spearheaded by the United States, and China. This rivalry, driven by the desire to outpace and dominate the other’s technological progress, has ignited a strategic competition with far-reaching consequences.
To counter China’s ambitions, the United States has enforced a ban on the export of essential chip manufacturing and production tools to China. China, in turn, has responded with measures of its own. This paper seeks to offer a comprehensive analysis of this situation, focusing on the current standing of stakeholders in the ongoing chip war.
