The United States is a leader in the research of artificial intelligence technologies, which is also facilitated by competition with Russia and China. On Thursday, June 24, the director of the Joint Center for Research in the Field of Artificial Intelligence of the Pentagon, Lieutenant General Michael Gron, told reporters at a press conference.
"We really have complete superiority [in this area], we use artificial intelligence and a new technological approach to [solve] particularly complex tasks," Grohn said.
According to him, the US leadership is "clearly promoted by competition" with countries such as Russia and China.
The general stressed that the Pentagon and the US security services consider artificial intelligence technologies to be an opportunity to preserve and multiply "their military superiority". The Ministry of Defense is actively implementing these technologies in various troops, for example, in the Navy.
Earlier on June 9, the US Senate approved the allocation of more than $200 billion to help technology companies compete with China amid a global shortage of microchips over the next five years. The funding will be directed to the development of artificial intelligence, semiconductors, robotics and high-performance computing.
According to the law, $120 billion of the total amount is intended for the development of science and technology in the United States, about $53 billion — for the production and research of semiconductor chips.
Earlier, on June 7, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced the US unwillingness to conduct an arms race with China, noting the existence of fierce competition between the two countries. The head of the American Foreign Ministry stressed that relations with China are the most complex and most important of all that the country has.
On June 1, The National Interest reported that the meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin and American leader Joe Biden is timely, since the parties are on the verge of a nuclear race. According to the authors, even an unintended conflict can become a reason for a nuclear war. The situation concerns the Russian Federation, the United States and China.
The authors of the article note that everything that can undermine strategic stability, and this applies not only to deployed offensive nuclear weapons, should be discussed with Russia and China.
At the same time, it is added that Russia, unlike China, should be more concerned about the United States because of the level of its nuclear arsenal.
