American companies are currently ahead in the A.I. race, with wildly popular offerings like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. But as competition intensifies, China could very well overtake the U.S., according to a top venture capital veteran. Vinod Khosla, founder of Menlo Park, Calif.–based Khosla Ventures, which was one of OpenAI’s early investors, thinks that America would lose out if it slows down the pace of A.I. developments now.
“We shouldn’t take for granted [that] we will lead in A.I. technology 20 years from now,” Khosla told Bloomberg. He added that China has an edge over the U.S. in the quest for more advanced A.I. because the country can “take many more risks, make many more errors.”
