Tech giants OpenAI and Google have called for the US government to develop a decisive action plan to maintain the nation’s lead in the artificial intelligence industry. They express concerns about the rising competition from Chinese startups like DeepSeek AI and Manus AI.
Competition with Chinese AI Startups
OpenAI has written a letter to the US Office of Science and Technology, highlighting the risks posed by Chinese AI startups. These projects have caused instability in global stock and crypto markets, challenging companies like ChatGPT, Gemini, and GrokAI.
China's Growing Dominance in AI
After the successful launch of DeepSeek AI and Manus AI, the Chinese government is encouraging AI companies to harness new technologies to compete with the U.S. and other nations. In 2017, China released an AI Development Plan to become a leader in AI by 2030. Chinese President Xi Jinping met with top tech leaders to discuss using AI to overcome challenges like U.S. tariffs.
Call for an AI Action Plan
OpenAI and Google have presented key pointers for maintaining U.S. dominance in AI. They emphasize the need for a quick and forceful response to China’s growing presence. Both companies stress the importance of regulated freedom strategies and voluntary collaboration between government and private firms to ensure global adoption of American AI systems.
OpenAI and Google highlight the urgent need for an effective plan to support U.S. AI development and maintain the country's leadership position in a competitive global tech environment.
