The incoming US Secretary of the Air Force said that China was winning the battle of Artificial Intelligence over the United States. He admitted that China would soon defeat the United States in this high-tech field. Although the Secretary of the Air Force appointed by President Joe Biden has not yet taken office, he publicly replied to the biggest recent controversy in US political and military circles: the Air Force Chief Software Officer, Nicholas Chaillan, who resigned on October 11 last, said that China had already overtaken the United States and won the battle of Artificial Intelligence against it. Kendall III said he agreed with the statement made by Chaillan. Nicholas Chaillan told the media that the United States not only made slow progress in the field of Artificial Intelligence, but that the said progress was also limited by various rules.

Nicolas Chaillan, who resigned as the Air Force chief software officer, warns of the'existential threat' China's technological advantages pose. The former chief software officer for the U.S. Air Force was "not surprised" by China's nuclear-capable rocket launch and warned that the U.S. "is running out of time" to catch up in the artificial intelligence race against China. "AI is so important to what's coming next in terms of innovation, but also in terms of weapons, quite honestly," Nicolas Chaillan told Fox News in an interview. China's expanding artificial intelligence and tech capabilities are "an existential threat to our kids and all our friendly nations' kids as well," he added. Chaillan served as the chief software officer in the Air Force for three years before announcing his resignation last month, criticizing the Pentagon's low prioritization of technological innovation on his way out.

As he settles into post-government life, Nicolas Chaillan still expects to call out the foreign competitors and domestic roadblocks that he says increasingly endanger U.S. security and informed his decision to publicly resign as the Air Force's first chief software officer. "Right now, the urgency is spending time with my kids first, and waking up America before it is too late. Because otherwise, there's just no point," Chaillan told Nextgov in an interview Tuesday. "Otherwise I need to invest in a bunker." A computer coder by the age of seven, Chaillan started his own companies in France at 15.
