President Donald Trump's nominee to head the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy says China is the top U.S. competitor in both areas and warned the future depends on who leads in key sectors.
"China has emerged as both our preeminent geopolitical rival and our most formidable technological and scientific competitor,"
"The shape of the future global order will be defined by whomever leads across AI, quantum, nuclear, and other critical and emerging technologies. Chinese progress in nuclear fusion, quantum technologies, and autonomous systems all press home the urgency of the work ahead," Kratsios said.
The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Trump last month signed an executive order for an Artificial Intelligence Action Plan to create a policy "to sustain and enhance America’s global AI dominance in order to promote human flourishing, economic competitiveness, and national security."
