'This is our space race': Meta CTO says AI is a modern-day moonshot that the US should pour 'as much fuel on as we can'

In a podcast interview, Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth compared today's race for advanced AI technologies to the historic space race. He emphasized that the U.S. needs to actively participate to avoid being left behind, especially given the capabilities of competitors like China.

He reassured that current AI risks align with existing technologies and urged a strategic response to enhance competitiveness.
"The people we're discussing, especially China, are highly capable. They have a tremendously talented pool of engineers. They're looking at the same thing we're looking at."
"You have to try to handcuff yourself to slow the progress of your enemies. The far bigger risk is that you just get lapped by your enemies."
