Kaiwa Technology unveiled a humanoid robot pregnancy system with an artificial womb at the 2025 World Robot Conference, set to prototype in 2026. This innovation aims to revolutionize infertility treatments and reproductive medicine by mimicking a real pregnancy.
Cambricon’s prospects have been boosted by the Chinese government’s determination to use local AI chips in data centres.
But now, as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan declared that September, “we must maintain as large of a lead as possible.” On October 7, 2022, the Biden administration announced a sweeping set of export controls designed to cut off China from the most advanced chips used for training powerful AI models,

Nvidia struck a surprising deal after convincing the president that H20 chips aren’t a national security risk. But whether the reversal is good or bad depends on who you ask.
But that’s not the full story. While engineering degrees are critical, they don’t guarantee technological leadership. What really drives innovation is not how many people you train, but how you train them. And here, China faces a deeper, cultural problem that raw output can’t solve.
China is reportedly using invasive, minimally-invasive and non-invasive brain-computer interface technology as part of its strategy to compete in the global artificial intelligence race.
Top Senate Democrats wrote an open letter asking President Donald Trump to rethink his decision to allow artificial intelligence chip sales to China. The deal allows chip giants Nvidia and AMD to sell advanced AI chips to China in exchange for a 15% cut of revenue from the sales.
