Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) warned during a Breitbart News policy event Thursday that the United States must prevail in the race to develop artificial intelligence or risk China gaining a dominant global position. At Breitbart News’s policy event, titled China: The Threats You Know About and the Ones You Don’t, Washington Bureau Chief Matt Boyle asked Jim Banks what more the United States should do to turn the tide against China and start beating them here as well, beyond its geopolitical efforts.
Banks responded, “We have to win the AI race, and we can’t let the Chinese win it, because we know that if they win it, they’ll seize the moment and dominate us in the process. I’ve always said America can’t lead abroad when we’re weak at home. President Trump is making us strong again. He’s bringing back the Made in America economy, which is fundamental to our strength and our ability to be the leader that America deserves to be around the globe, that we haven’t been for a long time before President Trump.”
