China has already defeated the United States in the arms race using cyber capabilities, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), reports The Drive is a statement by former Pentagon Software director Nicholas Chaillan.
"We have no advantages in the fight against China in 15-20 years. Right now, the job is already done. In my opinion, everything has already ended," the dismissed employee of the US Defense Ministry is confident in Beijing's victory over Washington.
In his opinion, the United States has unnecessarily concentrated on excessively expensive technologies like the fifth-generation fighter F-35 Lightning II and missed the opportunity to cooperate in the military sphere with large corporations, such as Google. Chaillan is confident that in the field of innovation, China, not restrained by bureaucracy and rules, is moving forward, while the US Department of Defense is stagnating against the background of its own mismanagement and rising procurement costs.
The publication notes that earlier Chaillana published a letter on the LinkedIn social network, in which he noted "a sharp advantage of China over the United States in population," as well as the "fast-growing and hardworking population" of the Celestial Empire, which leaves Americans no chance of competition, provided that they do not become "smarter and more efficient."
The Drive recalls that, as a Pentagon employee, Chaillan was engaged in "analyzing current software and plans for migration to the cloud, avoiding being tied to suppliers and ensuring rapid prototyping," as well as searching for "new commercially available off-the-shelf software and cloud technologies."
The publication also quotes the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who assigned the role of world leader to the country that will be the best in creating AI.
In September 2020, Valerie Insinna, a journalist of the American edition of Defense News, told about a visit to the Combat Operations Control Center established at the Joint Andrews Naval Aviation Base, where she observed the simulated operation of the "revolutionary combat operations control system", during which Washington's response to a potential enemy attack was shown.
