To beat China in AI, the U.S. must do more

Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, urged the U.S. government and state governments to take more urgent action to defeat China in the AI competition, and called for the establishment of a "U.S.-led global alliance." Previously, the U.S. government has been stepping up efforts to restrict China's access to chip technology used in the development of AI. China has repeatedly stated that the U.S. move will not stop China's technological progress, but will only encourage Chinese companies to become self-reliant.

Axios said Altman made the above statement in a telephone interview with the media. He said, "The future is coming to us quickly, and I am happy to see some of the things happening (in the White House and the U.S. Congress). But I don't think we have seen the severity of this problem."

Axios News Network stated that Altman accepted the interview to promote his opinion article published in The Washington Post on Thursday (25th). In that article, Altman discredited China from an ideological perspective, exaggerating that if China and Russia take the lead in the field of artificial intelligence, it will pose a threat to the United States. He encouraged Western countries to confront China and Russia in the field of artificial intelligence from the perspective of ideological opposition. Altman declared, "If we want to ensure that the future of artificial intelligence is a future that benefits as many people as possible, we need a global alliance led by the United States and composed of like-minded countries."

It is worth noting that just one day before Altman's article was published, the US technology media "Information Network" disclosed on the 24th local time, citing relevant financial data and insider information, that OpenAI's expenditure on artificial intelligence training this year may be as high as 7 billion US dollars, and personnel expenses are as high as 1.5 billion US dollars. Compared with the huge expenditure, the company's operating income is not enough to cover its expenses. "Information Network" estimates that OpenAI's annual losses may be as high as 5 billion US dollars, and its cash flow may be exhausted within the next year. In this case, OpenAI may have to start a new round of financing again.

Regarding the U.S. government's restriction on China's access to chip technology for the development of artificial intelligence, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs previously stated that China has repeatedly expressed its position on the malicious blockade and suppression of China's semiconductor industry by the United States. The U.S. actions seriously undermine international trade rules and seriously damage the stability of the global supply chain. China has always firmly opposed it. In the field of artificial intelligence, the U.S. side expressed its hope to engage in dialogue with China while brewing to suppress the development of China's artificial intelligence technology, exposing the hypocritical face of the U.S. side of "saying one thing and doing another". The U.S. move cannot stop China's scientific and technological progress, but will only encourage Chinese companies to be self-reliant and self-reliant.
