Chinese AI researcher: China unlikely to slow AI progress despite global calls

A Chinese AI researcher suggests that China is unlikely to voluntarily slow its AI development, driven by intense commercial competition and a desire to catch up. While international pressure to decelerate progress is possible, the researcher believes China's advancements in in-house chip development and model training techniques like distillation make it difficult to enforce such slowdowns through embargoes. Although formal agreements on pacing frontier AI development between China and the US are plausible due to China's interest in global governance, the researcher doubts these agreements would significantly curb China's AI progress. AI
