China decides to “expel” Western technology companies

This week, the government of China made an important decision and intensified the desire to “expel” any technology from U.S from the country. Thus, according to information from The Wall Street Journal, the initiative was named “Delete America”. The attitude is part of the intense dispute between Chinese and North Americans for global hegemony in the sector.

In recent days, the Prime Minister of China, Li Qiang, reported that the country is ready to increase spending on science and technology by 10%. In this way, the values ​​would reach around US$51 billion (R$254 billion) this year, above the 2% increase recorded in 2023. With this in mind, the government’s order is that all state-owned companies replace foreign software by 2027 .

The aim is to end any foreign dependence and boost Chinese domestic industry. It is worth highlighting that the decision of the government of China came to light after the White House announced the first bans on exports of semiconductor chips and other products to Chinese territory. At the moment, the Chinese spend US$6.6 trillion (almost R$33 trillion) on the state sector.

BEYOND CHINA!

With an eye on the expansion of Artificial intelligence (AI), a start-up founded by three former researchers from OpenAI is using the development methods behind chatbots to build technology that can navigate the physical world. So Covariant is creating ways for robots to pick, move and organize items as they are transported in warehouses and distribution centers.

The technology allows robots to have a broad understanding of the English language, making it easier for people to talk to them as if they were talking to the ChatGPT. In this way, the objective is to help machines understand what is happening around them and decide what they should do next.
