Brazil's government announced on Thursday investments of about 2.3 billion reais ($444.2 million) to bolster its artificial intelligence ecosystem, splitting projects between U.S. and Chinese companies in a move that underscores its effort to navigate relations with both powers.
Just over half the total, 1.3 billion reais, will fund a supercomputing infrastructure project in Rio de Janeiro developed in partnership with China's Huawei Technologies and iFlytek.
