Zuckerberg warns China could win AI race, says US needs to accelerate, links it to ‘new geopolitical balance of power’

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has warned that the US risks losing its edge to China in artificial intelligence (AI), noting that the latter needs to scale up building energy and data centers. Zuckerberg, in a note, said that the countries that lead in the development of advanced AI will contribute to a geopolitical balance of power.

“Which nations lead the development and deployment of advanced AI will contribute to a new geopolitical balance of power that will determine the prevalence of democratic values, prosperity, and security in the future,” Zuckerberg said in the note.
