Embedding American AI Worldwide: A Sales Mission Continues

The White House is continuing its push to embed American-made AI products worldwide, with a three-pillar strategy announced in July. Michael Kratsios, director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, spoke with Scripps News about the administration's goals and progress.

"For most countries around the world, the volumes of chips and the types of AI that we'll be needing aren't of real national security concern in the U.S. What we're most concerned about is us not being there, and adversaries having their chips and their AI in those countries," Kratsios said. "So our biggest step right now is how do we get more people to use American AI?"

"We want to make sure that countries around the world are using our technology and not China's or anyone else's," Kratsios said. "We are Americans. We think we have the best technology. We want everyone to be using it. So for us, it's almost like a sales mission. And I deeply believe we have the best technology and no matter what country we go to, I think we'll always be winning out to just have the best stuff."
