Global Times reports: “U.S. President Joe Biden’s new national security memorandum, which directs national security agencies to leverage AI in competition with rivals, underscores the U.S.’ hegemonic act of securing a dominant position in this sector.” The move is openly aimed at China. “As China’s AI sector booms, the U.S. government has become acutely aware of the competitive pressure exerted by its biggest rival,” Global Times reports. Voice of America (VOA) said the memo seeks to “prevent the country from falling victim to AI tools wielded by adversaries like China,” while Politico states that it “creates new policies to compete with China.”
Global Times also notes that “The memo establishes deadlines for future actions that will extend long beyond Biden’s tenure. It remains uncertain how Donald Trump or Kamala Harris will handle the policies if they are elected president, observers said.”
