AI Will Determine Outcome of US-China Cold War, Waltz Says

Ongoing competition between China and the United States for next-generation technologies will define the future of artificial intelligence (AI), according to one U.S. congressman.

AI, in turn, will determine the outcome of the New Cold War between the two powers, said Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.).

The only way to ensure U.S. victory in the AI race, and thus the New Cold War, he believes, is to sever ties between the two nationsโ€™ tech sectors.

โ€œI just donโ€™t see a path forward without decoupling,โ€ Waltz said during a June 5 talk with the Atlantic Council, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.

โ€œWeโ€™re in a global arms race with an adversary that, unlike any in American history, has the economic and military capability to truly supplant and replace us, which, again, is their stated goal.โ€

Accelerating AI Development Is Key

Waltz said that U.S. dependencies on China for manufacturing and critical supply chains were โ€œfantastically dangerous.โ€ Given the growing divide between authoritarian and democratic technospheres, he said, the United States would need to combine effective decoupling with industry-supportive policies. It would also need a more aggressive entrepreneurial ecosystem to out-innovate the communist regime.

Despite the growing fear that so-called โ€œbreakout momentsโ€ in AI โ€œcould prove to be very dangerous,โ€ Waltz said, the United States may need to embrace less regulation of the technology in favor of accelerating its advanced technology development.

โ€œI would take an unregulated or less-than-ideally regulated Western-developed AI, rather than a Chinese Communist Party [CCP] techno-dictatorship-developed AI, that has the potential to dominate both militarily and economically, if those are our two bad options,โ€ Waltz said.

โ€œWhen you put it in the context of the global competition that weโ€™re in โ€ฆ that the Chinese Communist Party has entered into a Cold War with the United States and is explicit in its aim to replace the liberal Western-led world order โ€ฆ and that AI could be an incredibly powerful tool for them to achieve that end, then it seems to me that tapping the brakes could actually be incredibly dangerous.โ€
