Society is more likely to get "cat-level" or "dog-level" AI years before human-level AI.

"[W]e will eventually reach AGI... and quite possibly before the end of this century."

"Superhuman AIs" will be achieved "between a few years and a couple of decades."

"Digital intelligence" could overtake us within "5 to 20 years."

We may achieve "something like AGI or AGI-like in the next decade."

"[W]e could get to real AGI in the next decade."

"Human-level" AI could occur in "two or three years."

"I'd be surprised if we don't have AGI by [2029]."

"I think, today, [China is] probably two years behind the top [AI] models [from the US]."

"Where China sits [in AI], I think, is very far behind the US."

"The United States is in a strong position to win the essential [AI] race with China."

"China will dominate AI."

"The combination with China's self-made chips + AI infrastructure stack will put China ahead of the US."

China would "undoubtedly come out on top [in the US-China AI race]."

"[I]t seems like the United States is really far ahead [when it comes to generative AI]."

"China will lead the world in AI development."

In 2025, "China will start to lead the AI race (as a consequence of leading the open-source AI race)."

Will China Surpass the US in AI?

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at blocking states from crafting their own regulations for artificial intelligence, with the order directing the Attorney General to create a task force to challenge state laws and the Commerce Department to compile a list of problematic regulations.

Trump stated in the Oval Office that there is only going to be one winner as nations race to dominate artificial intelligence, noting that China's central government provides its companies a single place for government approvals while U.S. companies face potential requirements for 50 different state approvals.

Four states have passed laws setting rules for AI across the private sector, including Colorado, California, Utah and Texas, with those laws limiting collection of certain personal information and requiring more transparency from companies, according to the International Association of Privacy Professionals.

The executive order threatens to restrict funding from a broadband deployment program and other grant programs to states with AI laws, while David Sacks, a venture capitalist leading Trump's AI policies, said the administration would only push back on the most onerous examples of state regulation.

Critics including Brad Carson, director of Americans for Responsible Innovation and a former member of Congress, called the order an attempt to push through unpopular policy, predicting it will be blocked in court, while supporters argued it is necessary to prevent a confusing patchwork of regulations.

The order comes after Republicans failed twice to pass similar legislation, with the Senate voting 99 to 1 to remove a 10 year moratorium on state AI regulations from Trump's domestic policy bill in July and declining to add such a provision to the National Defense Authorization Act in December.
