Google is urging Americans to pay serious attention to China’s research and development efforts and to understand that the Chinese Communist Party does not exclusively rely upon theft.
Top artificial intelligence technologists and researchers flocked to Washington on Wednesday eager to learn more about the new Trump administration’s plans to ensure America wins the global AI race.
Ahead of President Trump’s formal rollout, a Google executive told an assembly of scientists and technologists that China is a formidable foe they all need to reckon with.
Google Public Sector’s Josh Marcuse, a former Pentagon official, told the Special Competitive Studies Project’s gathering that it is wrong to think China’s progress is only attributable to stolen gains.
“China has really moved to a very different footing and they have an incredibly vibrant [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] ecosystem and they’re a very large population,” Mr. Marcuse said at the AI+ Science Summit.
