President says U.S. leads China on AI and notes imminent state dinner with Xi
Summary
When asked about AI risks and competition with China, the President said he does not fear extinction from AI but warned about losing ground, asserted the U.S. leads China by about a year in AI capability, and noted President Xi will visit soon for a state dinner.
A reporter asked whether the President had concerns about AI leading to human extinction. The President answered he did not, though he warned that failing to "win AI" would put the country in a poor position. He said, "We are leading China right now by a pretty good period, I would say a year."
The President added that President Xi of China would be visiting soon and that the White House is planning a state dinner. He used the exchange to reiterate broader economic claims, saying the U.S. has "the greatest economy in history" and that there are more jobs now than at any prior time.
