China To Overtake US In Military Artificial Intelligence (AI) By 2025

TUESDAY PDB – Game changing – Pentagon alarmed by Chinese rush for ‘intelligentized’ warfare, but experts warn about over-reliance on AI. China could overtake the U.S. in AI capabilities by 2025 and lead globally by 2030.

It could change the global balance of power in their favor.

This, according to the latest Pentagon report on China. The CCP and PLA have designated the technology as key to “intelligentized warfare,” which is how the CCP views the future of combat.

The Pentagon admits China already is the world leader in facial recognition and natural language processing technology, but it remains “silent” on “certain foreign capabilities” to produce hardware, including the most advanced semiconductor chip factories and electronic design automation software.

“China wants to match and surpass the United States in AI by 2025,” Matt McInnis, senior fellow for the Institute for the Study of War’s China program. “The United States is at risk of falling behind China in this area, including the integration of AI into warfighting systems.”

China’s ability to fight and win “future wars” includes brain science that aims to integrate new biotech and AI applications, including a quantum computer capable of “outperforming a classical high-performance computer for a specific problem.”

It is spending over a billion dollars on a national quantum facility that will be the world’s largest such facility when completed.
