US urged to adopt China's data strategy to boost AI and robotics

A US congressional advisory body has recommended that the United States adopt a national data strategy, similar to China's approach, to treat data as an economic asset. The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) warns that without such a strategy, the US risks falling behind China in setting global data standards, which could disadvantage American firms in critical emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and robotics. China has been actively commercializing its data since 2020, designating it as a key factor of production and fostering a data economy through national exchanges and pilot programs. AI
