In the past, software and computer engineers would tackle problems head-on, designing algorithms and finding creative solutions.

thanks to the US restrictions on semiconductor industry (Chinese), Chinese engineers are being forced to innovate and find their own ways to overcome challenges like the old school engineers (What Silicon Valley used to be)

If you're one who sees progress as an end goal unto itself, what you describe is a good thing. When one party is attempting novel solutions to outcompete the competition we will be faster to whatever the next change is.

That said, I'm not sure what the US policies specifically have to do with this. Countries are always in competition with one another, and if one industry or technology is considered a national security threat they will guard it.

If AI is a threat to other nations, why is anyone even supporting this? Are we really trying to annihilate the planet as quickly as possible?

For the same reason we built nuclear bombs, "if I don't my enemies will"

[coliveira]

Are we creating enemies so quickly like this?

AI is a bomb that has already been released.
