Helen Toner, a former board member of OpenAI, argues that the U.S. administration's crackdown on academic research and international students significantly benefits China's AI ambitions. With extensive experience in studying U.S.-China relations, she notes that despite U.S. efforts like chip export controls, China is nonetheless advancing aggressively in AI. The recent success of Chinese models such as DeepSeek exemplifies this trend. Toner, now with Georgetown's CSET, emphasizes the need for the U.S. to navigate its AI policies thoughtfully to maintain its edge in the global AI race.
The U.S. administration's aggressive stance on academic research and international students inadvertently empowers China in the AI competition, as articulated by Helen Toner.
