OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said in an interview that the U.S. could be underestimating China’s progress and capability in artificial intelligence. CNBC quoted Altman saying that export controls alone likely aren’t a reliable solution and that he’s worried about America’s biggest rival since the Cold War.
“There’s inference capacity, where China probably can build faster. There’s research, there’s product; a lot of layers to the whole thing,” Sam told CNBC. “I don’t think it’ll be as simple as: Is the U.S. or China ahead?”
