China challenges US dominance with open artificial intelligence models

Jornal de Negócios14 September 2026 at 13:45

Chinese tech companies are achieving significant advances in the artificial intelligence market of Western countries, challenging the dominance traditionally held by the United States in this sector. AI systems developed by Chinese companies are gaining ground in the West at an increasing pace.

China is making a strong bet on the development of artificial intelligence software, but simultaneously aims to achieve independence in the hardware domain. This comprehensive strategy aims to reduce technological dependence on the US and other Western powers.

Beijing's approach is exerting growing economic pressure on American AI models, which are known for their high development and operational costs. This competition is changing the economic landscape of the global technology sector.

Expensive American artificial intelligence models have worried financial markets, which face uncertainties amid this shift in the balance of technological power between the two superpowers.

Why this matters

This news is relevant to readers in Portugal and Europe because it shows how competition between superpowers is changing the AI market, potentially making these technologies more accessible and affordable. The impact may affect European companies that currently depend on expensive American solutions, creating new options but also market uncertainty.

Uavision invests up to five million euros in Viseu to create innovative aeronautical system

Uavision, a company based in Torres Vedras, will invest up to five million euros over three years in Viseu to develop HAPS (High Altitude Pseudo Satellite), a high-altitude unmanned aeronautical system. The total project is around 10 million euros and includes the construction of a hangar at Aeródromo Gonçalves Lobato, partnerships with Instituto Piaget for training, and the initial creation of 10 to 20 jobs. The choice of Viseu is due to the quality of the runway which will allow testing the systems developed locally.

Smart charging of electric vehicles can save Europe €10 billion in grid infrastructure, European study finds

A European study released this week concludes that Europe can save around €10 billion in electricity grid investment by 2030 through smart management of electric vehicle charging. The "Electricity Grids in Europe" report, commissioned by EIT Urban Mobility, ChargeUp Europe and ACEA and conducted by Siemens, modeled 64 European cities and concluded that €24.7 billion would be needed to accommodate projected EV growth, but with smart charging this could drop to around €14 billion. The study projects that 100% electric vehicles will represent up to 27.3% of the fleet in Sweden, 15.7% in Germany and 4.5% in Spain by 2030, and warns that low-voltage networks need the most physical reinforcement, with 77.7% of required investment destined for this level. Among the cities analyzed, Berlin, Amsterdam and Munich lead investment needs, with values between €900 million and €1.15 billion each.
