Eric Schmidt: Why America needs an Apollo program for the age of AI
Summary
Eric Schmidt argues that the United States needs a national compute strategy akin to the Apollo program to secure its position in the global race for artificial intelligence. As nations worldwide escalate investments in AI and advanced computing, Schmidt emphasizes the importance of government-led infrastructure, like the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR), to support AI research and development. He contends that only through a combination of dedicated federal AI supercomputers and strategic talent acquisition, including relaxed immigration policies for PhD holders, can America maintain its lead in innovation and national security. Schmidt calls for immediate foundational investments to sustain long-term competitive advantages in AI technology.
