China’s artificial intelligence industry has almost caught up with the US. Moreover, it is more open and efficient too. This is unlike the US’s strategy towards the nascent technology, which it wants to keep largely within its borders. Trump’s actions signal the direction AI policy is going to take under his reign, particularly when it comes to competing with China. Meanwhile, both China and the US are doing everything in their power to win the AI race. When Trump came to office, he immediately rescinded Biden’s sweeping executive order on AI. While AI with fewer guardrails may be terrifying for some, it may be a possible way to expand into new territories and win the race toward AI. Will Trump Plocies help US AI industry again China ?
