US Urged to Assert Leadership in AI Amid China's Troubling Use

China is using AI for mass surveillance and oppression domestically and exporting these capabilities abroad. The US should not empower China to lead in AI.

Cooperation with China on AI could benefit their military applications, like autonomous weapons and cyber attacks. The US should be cautious in AI collaboration.

The US needs guardrails for AI based on transparency and openness, not China's socialist values. The US should assert leadership in international AI standards bodies.

US companies should commit to open sourcing key AI models. Congress should promote explainable AI so algorithms are not black boxes.

The US must offer its own vision for ethical AI focused on human flourishing, not collaborate with authoritarian regimes. America should lead in AI.
