We are in the midst of a historic geopolitical transformation, which necessitates that the United States develop a foreign policy approach that prioritizes technological dominance as part of its core objectives.
Amid the thunderous noise over Washington’s handling of the Ukraine conflict, the global trade war, the intensifying US-China competition,
and more recently, the Israel-Iran and India-Pakistan wars, the levers of influence are changing. As traditional humanitarian and military assistance is scaled back,
the United States and its competitors are increasingly seeking to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) as a means of projecting power.
The Trump administration has already begun a seismic shift from the status quo, but it will require a comprehensive grand strategy to ensure continued global dominance of the American suite of technologies.
US State and Commerce Department officials have quietly been assessing Chinese artificial intelligence programs in terms of their output conforming to the ruling Communist Party’s official line,
Reuters reported on July 9. These assessments underscore the US-China competition over the deployment of large language models (LLMs). According to the documents shared with the wire service,
American officials have recently been testing models, including Alibaba’s Qwen 3 and DeepSeek’s R1,
scoring the models according to whether they engaged with the questions or not, and how closely their answers aligned with Beijing’s talking points when they did engage.
The findings show that the responses from the Chinese LLMs heavily aligned with China’s official positions.
