Anthropic warns China could surpass the US in AI race by 2028 without chip controls

Anthropic warned that China could catch up to or surpass the U.S. in advanced AI unless Washington tightens chip export controls.

The paper says access to advanced semiconductors and compute is central to AI leadership, and current restrictions have only slowed China’s progress.

It argues that closing loopholes and limiting workarounds is key to preserving U.S. national security, standards-setting power, and military advantage in AI.
