A Pew Research Center survey indicates that a majority of Americans believe China is more advanced in artificial intelligence development compared to the United States, with 36% of respondents holding this view. The survey also found that 12% believe the U.S. is ahead, while 18% think both nations are equally advanced. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has accused a Chinese startup, Moonshot AI, of stealing intellectual property from U.S. firms like Anthropic and OpenAI to create its Kimi K3 model. According to White House OSTP director Michael Kratsios, Moonshot AI used a sophisticated platform to distill knowledge from U.S. models, potentially undermining American technological leadership. Testing of Kimi K3 by U.S. and U.K. agencies showed it underperforms compared to top American models. Chinese officials have rejected U.S. claims, emphasizing their focus on self-reliance and international collaboration in AI development.
