The Hoover Institution released its Decision 2020 Report, which notes possible policy implications for artificial intelligence, the news release said.
Senior Fellow John Villasenor said that geopolitics is decided by many of the same domains that artificial intelligence (AI) plans to revolutionize and that countries with an overreliance on old infrastructure will have a tough time sustaining global competitiveness because they need to move with the times.
“Maintaining AI preeminence is a multi-decade endeavor — a far greater time scale than the term lengths of elected officials,” Villasenor said in the news release. “This lowers the incentives to implement AI-focused policy strategies that might take several years or more to bear fruit.”
Villasenor said that as a competitor, America's biggest challenge is government regulation. He said it reduces incentives and slows innovation, according to the news release.
Villasenor said in the news release that the United States is a global AI leader with companies like Facebook, Apple, Google and Amazon.
