President Donald Trump positioned the United States as the undisputed frontrunner in a global AI rivalry, insisting that “there’s only going to be one winner” as he unveiled a new federal directive aimed at bias-testing and streamlining approvals for the booming AI sector. Trump said the US is “leading China by a tremendous amount,” arguing that delaying the directive would be “the greatest gift to China.” He also revealed that he frequently speaks with President Xi about AI and nuclear issues, stressing that what China tells others “is different from what they tell me.” Trump warned that AI could soon make up “50 to 60 percent” of the American economy, calling the race with China a defining competition for global power. #trump #china #xijinping #US #apt

00:00We have a big signing right now, and we have a tremendous industry where we're leading by a lot.
00:06It's the AI, artificial intelligence.
00:09I always thought it should be SI, supreme intelligence, but I guess somewhere along the line they decided on the word artificial, and that's okay with me.
00:18That's up to them.
00:19It's a massive industry.
00:21We're leading China.
00:23We're leading everybody by a tremendous amount.
00:26The electricity is being built by them in every plant.
00:29They're building the electricity.
00:31We're getting them rapid approvals, but they're spending trillions of dollars, and they can't.
00:37Basically, this has a couple of other things that are less important, but one of the things that it has is you have to have a central source of approval.
00:44When they need approvals on things, they have to come to one source.
00:48They can't go to California, New York, and various other places like Illinois with Pritzker, who's a totally unreasonable person,
00:55and they have to have, you know, they're putting all this money in.
00:59It's a big part of the economy, and there's only going to be, I think, one winner here.
01:04I don't know if anybody agrees with that.
01:05I think most people agree, but there's only going to be one winner here, and that's probably going to be the U.S. or China,
01:12and right now we're winning by a lot.
01:14China has a central source of approval.
01:16I don't think they have any approval.
01:17They just go and build.
01:19But people want to be in the United States, and they want to do it here, and we have the big investment coming.
01:24But if they had to get 50 different approvals from 50 different states, you could forget it because it's not possible to do,
01:30especially if you have some hostile.
01:32All you need is one hostile actor, and you wouldn't be able to do it.
01:35So it doesn't make sense.
01:37I didn't have to be briefed on this, by the way.
01:39This is real easy business.
01:40I mean, this is simple.
01:42We're taking in trillions of dollars.
01:45We're taking in tremendous amounts of countries, jobs.
01:49Everything's coming in.
01:51On this subject, President Trump, are you more worried about the U.S. winning the race for AI dominance with China
01:56or about AI's potential threat to humanity?
02:00Both.
02:01We're looking at that very strongly.
02:02We have a lot of threats in the opposite way if we don't do it.
02:07You look at the medical and medical research.
02:09Already the things that have come out of AI in terms of medical and cancer research and things,
02:15we're way ahead of what we ever thought we'd be just from the infancy of AI.
02:20So really both, and we want to be very careful with it.
02:24We also know that a big part of our economy, it could be 50, 60 percent of our economy going forward,
02:30for a period of time at least, especially during this startup, is AI and AI-based.
02:35We have trillions of dollars of construction going on.
02:40And that construction would stop or it would certainly be, a lot of it would be halted.
02:45So, look, we're leading China.
02:47We're leading China by a lot.
02:49China knows that, and not doing this would be the greatest gift to China and other countries,
02:55but China in particular, that China has ever received.
02:59One of the things I talk to China about is the denuclearization of weapons.
03:05We'd like to see if we could stop that.
03:07I've spoken to, I'm talking about nuclear weapons, I've spoken to China about that,
03:12I've spoken to Russia about that, and I think it would be something that we would want to do,
03:17and they would like to do, and I think Russia would like to do.
03:20They said they won't join the start or a follow-on to the start.
03:23Well, that's what they've told you, but, you know, what they tell you is...
