U.S. official warns China closing AI gap with America

Investing.com -- White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks stated that China is only three to six months behind the United States in artificial intelligence development.

Sacks made these remarks Tuesday at the AWS summit in Washington, cautioning that excessive regulation of AI in the U.S. could harm American innovation in this field.

"China is not years and years behind us in AI. Maybe they’re 3-6 months," Sacks said during his speech. "It’s a very close race."

The White House official’s assessment highlights the narrowing technological gap between the two global powers in the strategically important AI sector.
