US way ahead of China in AI, says Trump
U.S. President Donald Trump asserted that the United States leads China by a significant margin in artificial intelligence (AI), stating that AI is an issue that will be discussed during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to the U.S. in September. At a White House event, Trump stated that the United States is "way ahead of number two, which is China," emphasizing that the U.S. should continue to maintain its lead without imposing rules that could hinder the growth of the AI industry.
Trump argued that AI would lead to job creation and accelerate medical innovation, citing the construction of AI facilities and data centers as proof of the technology's potential to create numerous jobs and generate significant tax revenue. The White House gathering also addressed the issue of computing capacity, which the CFTC Chairman Michael Selig described as a strategic commodity central to the competition over AI.
