Musk's proposed AI pause means China would 'race' past US with 'most powerful' tech, expert says

'The Five' co-hosts weigh in on the creator of ChatGPT raising'major concerns' regarding the implications of how artificial intelligence could change society. Elon Musk's proposed temporary halt in AI development would give China the freedom to surpass the U.S. and develop "the most powerful tool" in the 21st century, according to an industry expert. "We need artificial intelligence to automate and manage so much of the existing technology, as well as open the ability for us to manage a significantly larger population," Sultan Meghji, a professor at Duke University's Pratt Engineering School, told Fox News Digital. "We will not be able to do that without artificial intelligence." "As we consider our global competition with the People's Republic of China and others," Meghji, who served as the first chief innovation officer for the FDIC, argued, "artificial intelligence is the most powerful tool in our toolbox, and I don't want to lose the 21st century to the Chinese."
