PwC global chairman says AI race not China-US rivalry

Mohamed Kande, global chairman of PwC, told China Daily during the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that the competition in artificial intelligence, or AI, is not just a battle between China and the United States, but a global race encompassing the entire AI ecosystem.
Describing it as a global “AI marathon” and drawing on his experiences in China, he noted that the country’s investments across the AI ecosystem have been deliberated and sustained.
