Chris McGuire(@ChrisRMcGuire):These are by far the most detailed comments @POTUS has made on US-China AI competition. China never led, but he’s right the US is now way ahead. He expressed support for guardrails, but skepticism about what we can accomplish right now with China. This is the right perspective.

.@POTUS: "We are leading China by a lot in the AI race... and we’re going to win it... President Xi was very surprised at how well we've done with AI. When it started, they took this gigantic lead, and now, we are substantially ahead of them in AI."
