China and the U.S.
are locked in a race over AI, and President Trump says the U.S.
is ahead.
China and other countries are racing to catch up to America having to do with AI,
and we're not going to let them do it.
But winning the AI race isn't going to be easy.
The U.S.
lags behind China on electricity generation,
and earlier this year was shaken by the advancements of Chinese AI firm DeepSeq.
Today, I'm joined by the man the president has chosen to lead the government over these hurdles,
Michael Kratios.
Michael worked for PayPal founder Peter Thiel and became chief technology officer in Trump's first administration.
He spent four years working at the AI startup Scale AI.
And earlier this year,
he returned to government as the head of the Office of Science and Technology Policy,
the agency in charge of the nation's tech strategy.
Michael and I are going to talk about everything from chips to chatbots.
and his thoughts on the role the government should play in AI development and innovation.
