中国蓬勃发展的人工智能行业为本土研究人员留国工作提供了充分理由，但尽管政府大力推动，该行业仍未能吸引到海外科学家。
China’s booming artificial intelligence sector has given local researchers good reason to remain in the country, but it has yet to lure overseas scientists despite a government push.
随着美中两国争夺人工智能主导地位，特朗普政府增加了企业聘用外国研究人员的难度，而中国则将招募全球顶尖科学家列为国家优先事项。
As the United States and China vie for A.I. dominance, the Trump administration has made it more difficult for companies to hire foreign researchers, while China has made recruiting the world’s best scientists a national priority.
过去两年，中国向国际研究人员敞开大门，推出了科学家签证并提供丰厚的研究资助。然而，尽管做出了这些努力，外国科学家并未涌入。
Over the past two years, China has flung open its doors to international researchers, introducing a visa for scientists and offering lucrative research grants. Despite those efforts, foreigners are not coming.
更糟糕的是，根据一项关于全球人工智能研究的新研究，在美国工作的中国科学家数量非但没有减少，反而有所增加。
Worse still for China’s ambitions, the number of Chinese scientists working in the United States has risen rather than declined, according to a new study about global A.I. research.
卡内基国际和平基金会的研究显示，2025年，每30名在美国从事人工智能研究的中国研究人员中，只有一人从中国前往美国。
For every 30 Chinese researchers in the United States working on artificial intelligence in 2025, only one in China made the opposite journey, according to the study, conducted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a think tank.
该研究负责人达米安·马表示，尽管美中关系紧张，但与三年前相比，在美国工作的中国籍研究人员数量实际上上升了四个百分点。
“Despite U.S.-China tensions, the number of Chinese-origin researchers working in the U.S. actually rose by four percentage points rather than declined” compared with three years ago, said Damien Ma, who led the study.
该研究通过分析去年神经信息处理系统大会（NeurIPS）接收的论文，确定了全球科学家的流动情况，并追踪了论文作者的本科、研究生教育背景及最终工作地点。
The study determined the flow of scientists around the world by examining research papers accepted by last year’s NeurIPS, an academic conference focused on machine learning and computational neuroscience. Mr. Ma and his team analyzed where the papers’ authors went to college, received graduate degrees and ended up working.
