White House AI czar says US must outcompete China in technology innovation

PITTSBURGH — Either the United States or China will dominate the artificial intelligence landscape in five years, White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks said Tuesday, and it is his job to make sure the U.S. comes out on top.

“If, in five years, we look around the world and American companies have, say, 80% market share [in AI], it means we won,” Sacks said Tuesday. “But if we look around the world in five years and, say, Huawei has 80% market share, it means we did something very, very wrong.”
