US Considers Chinese Investment in Artificial Intelligence a National Security Threat
The US Department of Defense is struggling to get its arms around all of the new security issues that have come with our current technological explosion. One unexpected consideration on the table is placing stricter limitations on investment capital from China flowing into American companies that are working on artificial intelligence. Technology is the fastest growing industry in the American economy according to recent data. And with all the political talk about "JOBS, JOBS, JOBS," it's a bit surprising to see the government floating plans to limit investment in American companies. But that's exactly what the Pentagon is proposing according to Reuters. Of particular concern is China's interest in fields such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, which have increasingly attracted Chinese capital in recent years.
