US and Allies Forge Pact to Secure AI Supply Chains
Agreement aims to reduce reliance on Chinese components in chips and energy ahead of leadership meeting in Shenzhen
The United States and a group of allied nations have formalized a pact to protect artificial intelligence supply chains. The agreement aims to decrease technological and strategic exposure to Chinese influence.
The pact is part of the Pax Silica program, led by the U.S. to increase sector resilience. The initiative was detailed in the San Francisco Declaration on the Secure Foundations of Lasting Prosperity.
The document defines joint monitoring of critical infrastructure. The scope includes essential items such as processing chips, energy sources, and rare minerals.
In addition to Japan, Australia, Israel, and the United Kingdom, countries including South Korea, India, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates have joined the commitment. Expectations are that Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the European Commission will also formalize their participation soon.
The announcement comes ahead of the meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping during the APEC forum in Shenzhen. The primary goal is to diversify suppliers and strengthen global security against external disruptions.
This move may increase production costs for companies in the sector and put pressure on the global supply of high-performance chips.
