Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has expressed his belief that the U.S. is significantly ahead of China in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).
What Happened: Schmidt, who served as Google’s CEO from 2001 to 2011, stated in an interview with Bloomberg that the U.S. is “way ahead of China” in AI.
"In the case of artificial intelligence, we are well ahead, two or three years probably, of China, which in my world is an eternity."
Schmidt, who has been investing in AI companies since he departed from Google, pointed out that the US’s lead in AI is contingent on not squandering it. He also noted that China’s focus on dominating specific industries necessitates the U.S. to compete and emerge victorious.
"I think we’re in pretty good shape."
