US senior official says China's AI models lag behind the US by only three to six months

David Saxe, the head of artificial intelligence affairs at the White House, said on Tuesday that China lags behind the US by only three to six months in terms of AI models. Saxe said at the AWS Technology Summit held in Washington, "China is not many years behind us in the AI field. It may only be three to six months behind. This is a closely contested race." The White House later clarified that Saxe was referring to China's AI models and added that China lags behind the US by one to two years in terms of the performance of AI chips. Saxe pointed out that China has made significant progress in AI models and the US must quickly remove innovation barriers caused by excessive regulation. He warned that if the market is flooded with Huawei's AI chips five years from now, "it means we have lost... We must never let this happen."
