The U.S. Congress's advisory body, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, released a report on Tuesday stating that China is commercializing and monetizing data as a national strategic asset to advance its artificial intelligence and technological goals, which could give it a potential advantage over the United States in the AI competition. The report claims that China systematically collects enterprise, operational, and physical world data to train commercial AI tools, autonomous driving, and humanoid robots, while U.S. AI companies have largely exhausted open internet data. Mike Kuiken, Vice Chairman of the Commission, stated that China's advanced manufacturing and industrial robotics ecosystem provides a large amount of high-quality data for embodied AI applications. The Commission recommends that the U.S. Congress consider developing a national data strategy that treats data as an economic asset.
