Spence National Defense Authorization Act for 2001 § 1238, Pub. L. No. 106-398 (as amended by the Carl Levin and Howard P. “Buck” McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 § 1259b, Pub. L. No. 113-291) provides the basis for this hearing. At the hearing, the Commissioners received testimony from the following witnesses: Jeffrey Ding, China lead for the Center for the Governance of AI, Future of Humanity Institute, University of Oxford; D.Phil. Candidate, University of Oxford; Helen Toner, Director of Strategy at Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology; Elsa Kania, Adjunct Senior Fellow, Technology and National Security Program at the Center for a New American Security; Research Fellow at CSET; Richard Silberglitt, Ph.D., Senior Physical Scientist, RAND Corporation; Professor, Pardee RAND Graduate School; Dan Coughlin, Vice President of Composites Market Development, American Composites Manufacturers Association; Alan Hill, Government Relations Partner, National Graphene Association; President, J.A.Hill Group, LLC; Joanna Lewis, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Science, Technology and International Affairs, Georgetown University; Jessica Lovering, Director of Energy at the Breakthrough Institute, Ph.D. Student at Carnegie Mellon University; and James Greenberger, Co-founder and Executive Director of NAATBatt International. This hearing examined China’s development of artificial intelligence, new materials, and energy storage, renewable energy, and nuclear power. It assessed China’s capabilities in producing and commercializing these technologies vis-à-vis the United States and its ambitions to export these technologies and shape their global governance in ways that disadvantage the United States. The hearing also considered China’s potential military application of these technologies and strategic implications for the United States. The full transcript of the hearing, prepared statements, and supporting documents are posted to the Commission’s website, www.uscc.gov. Members and the staff of the Commission are available to provide more detailed briefings. We hope these materials will be helpful to the Congress as it continues its assessment of U.S.-China relations and their impact on U.S. security. The Commission will examine in greater depth these issues and the others in our statutory mandate this year. Our 2019 Annual Report will be submitted to Congress in November 2019.

  • AI Superpowers
    Review of AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley and the New World Order by Kai-Fu Lee by Preston McAfee1 Let me start by concluding that AI Superpowers is a great read and well worth the modest investment in time required to read it. Lee has a lively, breezy style, in spite of discussing challenging technology applied to a wide-ranging, thought-provoking subject matter, and he brings great insight and expertise to one of the more important topics of this century. Unlike most of the policy books that are much discussed but rarely read, this book deserves to be read. I will devote my review to critiquing the book, but nonetheless I strongly recommend it. Lee is one of the world’s top artificial intelligence (AI) researchers and a major force in technology startups in China. He was legendary in Microsoft because of his role in Microsoft’s leadership in speech recognition. He created Google’s research office in China, and then started a major incubator that he still runs. Lee embodies a rare combination of formidable technical prowess and managerial success, so it is not surprising that he has important things to say about AI. The book provides a relatively limited number of arguments, which I’ll summarize here: AI will transform business in the near future, China’s “copycat phase” was a necessary step to develop technical and innovative capacity, Success in the Chinese market requires unique customization, which is why western companies were outcompeted by locals, Local Chinese companies experienced “gladiatorial” competition, with ruthless copying, and often outright fraud, but the companies that emerged were much stronger for it, The Chinese government helped promote internet companies with subsidies and encouragement but not favoritism as widely believed, Chinese companies “went heavy” by vertically integrating, e.g.
