The Chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party Mike Gallagher has divulged to DailyMail.com his fears on China’s AI capabilities. Gallagher is concerned that the CCP’s unmatched growing capabilities would ‘dystopian’ and evil uses. To counteract the danger, he is urging the United States to take the lead on artificial intelligence and ensure that it is not used for inhumane purposes. As part of the effort, Gallagher is working towards a ‘unified framework’ on AI guardrails and ethics.
Gallagher advocates for the U.S. to take a united front alongside potential allies in the Indo Pacific region such as South Korea, Japan, and others. Additionally, he insists investors and businesses like Sequoia refrain from funding Chinese AI champions like Baidu. AI guardrails established by the Pentagon also require to be enhanced, he believes, and then eventually adopted by the wider government and industry.
Furthermore, Chairman Gallagher recommends imposing strict regulations regarding AI. To discuss this important topic, the committee is planning a potential hearing or another activity. His initiative and desire to educate Congress on the issue of AI have been publicly affirmed by the founder of ChatGPT, Sam Altman, who warned before the U.S. Senate to begin regulating the emerging technology.
The advancements made by the CCP has urged the Biden Administration to discuss the AI race with world leaders during the ongoing G7 meetings in Japan. Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of American lawmakers, led by Gallagher, will travel to London to strategise on how the United States and the UK’s joint efforts can counter China’s growing aggression.
