During today's POLITICOAI Summit, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt outlined recommendations for countering China's rise in the field and emphasized the need to collaborate with peer democracies in the development of AI technology
." To counter the threat, Schmidt said Thursday that the U.S. should invest more in research, ethics and AI infrastructure and partner with countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Israel and Japan.
He said broad consensus exists in the West on AI ethics, but those would probably contrast with standards developed in China. Having the United States and its partners lead the charge on ethical standards will be crucial in ensuring they reflect "human values," Schmidt said.The commission he chairs was created in 2019 and delivers quarterly reports and recommendations to Congress. Schmidt has voiced his support for Democrats, but said Thursday that advancing the United States' grasp on AI is one of the rare issues that has garnered bipartisan support, including from President Donald Trump.
