‘Making China the elephant in the room’: The G7 confronts its reliance on U.S. AI and Chinese energy supply chains, experts say

At the G7 summit, the focus is on addressing the heavy reliance on U.S. AI technology and China's control over critical energy supply chains, especially the minerals essential for clean energy. With U.S. export controls restricting access to advanced AI, European allies may find their goals for AI innovation hindered. This dynamic spotlights the broader geopolitical tensions and economic interdependencies that could reshape global trade and technology policies. The implications are significant, as nations grapple with balancing innovation and security while navigating China's dominant role in key industries.
