In the United States, China is widely believed to be building a technological lead in artificial intelligence.

His 70-page report provides multi-layered answers with nuances textured by Ernst's social, historical and industrial knowledge of China.

Ernst, China expert and keen observer of the global semiconductor industry, is senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), which is based in Waterloo, Canada, and the East-West Center, based in Honolulu. CIGI, an independent, non-partisan think tank, published Ernst's peer-reviewed research and analysis entitled "Competing in Artificial Intelligence Chips: China's Challenge Amid Technology War."
