Foreign media reported today: "President Trump stated that he would not consider joint ventures with China to develop artificial intelligence, viewing such collaboration as equivalent to handing U.S. technological secrets over to a major economic rival."
Commentary: Trump believes the United States holds a commanding lead in AI development and perceives artificial intelligence as a zero-sum contest between the two nations. He opposes any form of government-imposed constraints on AI advancement, advocating instead for unfettered technological growth to preserve America’s competitive edge. His stance reflects a form of technonationalism—reducing complex technological competition to a binary framework of win or lose, equating cooperation with potential intellectual property loss.
Artificial intelligence is inherently a global technology, and its associated risks represent challenges shared by all humanity. Even amid strategic rivalry, meaningful dialogue remains possible—and necessary—on issues related to safety, ethics, and risk management.
