Donald Trump's past policies on technology exports, particularly concerning Lockheed, are cited as a precedent for his current stance on Artificial Intelligence. The US and China have agreed to further dialogue on AI.
“The reason for that is not because we don’t want Lockheed to succeed … It’s because we don’t want [those countries] militarily, or any other way, to be on par with the United States of America … That’s why we don’t sell that technology to them. Because we want to be ahead.”
“I look at AI in the exact same way … Just because we can help some companies win in the United States of America by winning in China doesn’t mean we help the United States of America win. And if anything, we may have forced the United States of America to be a loser in that circumstance,” he added.
Washington and Beijing agreed to hold further dialogue on AI following Trump’s visit to China last week, with the Chinese foreign ministry saying that the two countries, as “leading AI powers … need to work together to promote the development of AI and improve its governance”.
