While US AI companies are discussing self-regulation and safety measures, China is actively accelerating its AI development with government support. Dan Ives suggested that this contrast creates a competitive disadvantage for the US, especially given that US tech may not slow down if China does not.
“But the reality is China is not slowing down. And if China doesn't slow down, this is all words because US tech's not going to slow down.”
“Yeah, I'd say that as well as China having a government that's trying to pour gasoline on this to really accelerate them rather than maybe the opposite that's happened in the U.S. Because for the first time in 30 years, the U.S. is ahead of China when it comes to tech. You don't want people in the Beltway that are still using BlackBerrys to then regulate that AI.”
