The following outlines global networks of AI R&D collaboration and China’s role within it. As China’s trajectory of development in AI shows, China utilized multiple AI R&D networks to acquire and develop AI knowhow. These pathways of collaboration work independently and together to develop, disseminate, and deploy knowledge about AI. For instance, the huge growth in Chinese students studying postgraduate computer science courses at U.S. universities provided knowledge as well as opportunities to build relationships with U.S. researchers that in turn led to joint publications and employment in academia and the private sector.

U.S. companies that opened AI labs in China hired Chinese talent, including some with degrees from U.S. universities, who went on to work at Chinese companies to support their own AI R&D efforts. As outlined, the economic, security, and moral tensions with China over its development and use of AI require assessing how AI R&D networks work and to what extent AI R&D collaboration with China should continue. The often blurry and sometimes shifting boundaries between the PRC government and Chinese universities, research labs, and companies further complicate potential AI R&D with partners in China. And Russia's invasion of Ukraine, paired with the earlier Russia-China joint statement on cooperation in areas including AI, has further raised the stakes on these questions.
