The United States and allies including Japan, Australia, Israel and the United Kingdom have signed an agreement to identify and safeguard sensitive AI supply chains, according to the Financial Times.
The United States and several allies including Japan, Australia, Israel and the United Kingdom have committed to creating a shared inventory of essential AI technologies and supply chains supporting greater protection to counter China’s influence, according to the Financial Times.
The agreement calls for working groups to mitigate risks within artificial intelligence supply networks while building tech ecosystems to channel funding into adjacent markets.
The effort is part of a broader US push to reduce reliance on China, specifically rare earth minerals, as Washington aims to broaden supply chains for itself and its partners.
The initiative comes as Washington and its coalition members work to minimize exposure and foster closer ties in the wake of the strategic competition with Beijing.
The accord formalizes cooperation among the United States and its allies to protect AI-related supply chains, including critical minerals, amid strategic competition with China.
