Vinod Khosla believes that the country that dominates in AI will vastly increase its global influence: “We need to win this race.”
The US is locked in a high-stakes race with China to develop artificial intelligence technology and can’t afford to slow down, venture capitalist Vinod Khosla said.
Silicon Valley’s embrace of speed has at times run up against calls for moderation by regulators and AI ethicists. Lawmakers have scrambled to create a framework for regulating the powerful systems. And in March, Musk signed an open letter calling for a pause in the development of “giant AI experiments” for at least six months.Khosla, an investor in artificial intelligence leader OpenAI, was sceptical of Musk’s motives for signing the letter.
“We are very clear. We’ll never be in China,” Khosla said. “I don’t happen to subscribe to their values.” A representative of Sequoia declined to comment. Musk and representatives of TikTok and Apple didn’t respond to requests for comment. That’s in contrast to most VC firms, which have been cutting back in the current dour environment. Last quarter, VCs invested just $US37 billion in US startups, less than half of the total the previous year.
