The Story in Brief
The United States plans to ask its partners to choose a side in the artificial intelligence competition with China, NDTV reports. The move comes as the contest for technological leadership intensifies. Chinese open-weight AI models have made rapid gains against proprietary systems developed by US companies, according to the report.
The development points to a widening strategic contest over AI technology and its global partnerships. The report does not specify which countries will receive the request, when it will be made or what action Washington expects from them.
The Indian Opinion
Calling this a simple choice between Washington and Beijing risks reducing a complex technology issue to bloc politics. Open-weight models can spread quickly, while proprietary systems offer tighter control, and neither advantage alone settles the contest. Countries will also weigh cost, security and access to computing power. The real test is whether the US can offer partners better technology and terms than China, not merely demand loyalty.
