U.S. Joins Global Partnership on AI to Check China’s Power
The United States became the last of the Group of Seven countries to sign on to the G7 AI Pact, an initiative focused on responsible development of artificial intelligence. The Global Partnership on AI will, after study, create recommendations on AI technologies that “respect privacy and civil liberties.” At a G7 meeting of science and technology ministers, U.S. chief technology officer Michael Kratsios and President Trump’s science adviser Kelvin Droegemeier will describe the U.S.’s involvement in the program.
Bloomberg reports that the Global Partnership on AI “will ask member states to follow principles drafted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which recommends developing AI technologies that respect human rights and are transparent to anyone affected by them.”

Kratsios noted that, “the idea of both the 5G and AI initiatives is to set limits on Chinese companies seeking to expand abroad.” Referring to China joining the World Trade Organization in 2001, he also warned that adopting Chinese 5G and AI standards would “run the risk of repeating the same mistakes our nations made nearly 20 years ago.”
