China is ahead of the United States in artificial intelligence thanks to the rapid development of the energy infrastructure needed to operate data centers, said US Vice President J.D. Vance in an interview with journalist Michael Knowles, APA reports.
"I believe the Chinese are ahead of us in the field of artificial intelligence in only one way: they're not afraid to build new energy capacity, while we are. This is where the environmental movement in the US will collide with reality. If AI companies don't understand this, the first victims of this confrontation between the construction of new energy capacity and the environmental movement will be American AI data centers," Vance said.
