US Commission Advocates Major AI Initiative to Compete with China

The proposal calls for a large-scale project to develop AI systems surpassing human intelligence.

The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission suggests a 'Manhattan Project-style' effort to advance artificial general intelligence (AGI).
The initiative emphasizes the importance of public-private partnerships but lacks specific investment strategies.
Concerns over China's rapid technological progress drive the push for US leadership in AI development.
The commission's report advises Congress to prioritize funding for AI, cloud, and data center companies.
The proposal aligns with previous calls for increased government support from AI industry leaders like OpenAI.
