Eric Schmidt Warned Against China’s AI Industry. Emails Show He Also Sought Connections to It

In 2019, the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI) expressed concerns about China using AI for autocratic purposes. However, newly disclosed emails reveal that the NSCAI's chairman, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, sought personal connections to China's AI industry during a visit to Beijing. Additionally, tax filings show that a nonprofit overseen by Schmidt and his wife contributed to a fund that invests in Chinese tech firms, including AI companies. While there is no evidence of Schmidt using his role for personal gain, these revelations raise questions about potential conflicts of interest. The relationship between the US and China in the AI space is characterized by rivalry and interdependence.
