U.S. should consider pooling data with other countries to beat China in artificial intelligence, group says

In 2017, China announced its goal to become the world leader in AI by 2030. The United States responded by creating the commission to review America's competitive position and to advise Congress on what steps are needed to maintain U.S. leadership. Former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt and Work were chosen from among 15 appointed commissioners to lead the group. The focus of the commission is on AI for national security in both the public and private sectors. But AI-enhanced economic superiority is a national security concern, Work said.
