Former US secretary of state says the US must maintain high performance in artificial intelligence Kissinger tells German newspaper those believing China’s foreign policy must be confronted at all levels will generate ‘a maximum of resistance’

Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger warned that competition between the US and China must not escalate to all-out hi-tech conflict, calling for policies to prevent Chinese hegemony while maintaining peaceful coexistence between the two nations.

In an interview published this week in German newspaper Die Welt, Kissinger – who played a key role in paving the way for China and the US to establish formal diplomatic relations in 1979 – said it was critical to prevent the rivalry between China and the West from becoming an all-out conflict in artificial intelligence.

At 97, Kissinger has declared himself a student of AI, saying “it is fascinating not only economically, but also philosophically, because it will change the nature of human thinking about reality, which will affect all of us”. “The US needs to maintain a high level of performance in AI,” he said. However, he said it would be erroneous to assume China would automatically be superior to the US in the AI arena.

Kissinger’s a bit late to the conflict already in motion.

He knows war with China is inevitable.

And he doesn’t want us to win.

Well-said GIF. “China must not be allowed to have the upper hand. On the other hand, we must not play our hand balls-out. It would be unfortunate if we won the tech war.”

So yeah, the old timer should zip it.

I caught a segment of “intelegence matters” with Larry Page talking about this, he said the agreement was to let the Chinese win then corrected himself and said the consensus was that the Chinese will win..

I am still shocked

I respect Kissinger’s mind but not his motives.

“I respect Kissinger’s mind but not his motives.”

He is the epitome of a person who is quite intelligent but dumb as a box of rocks.

If he’s not dumb or stupid he was a traitor and bad guy, doing things purposefully to harm this country and the world.

Hasn’t he died yet? This guy knows jack about AI and is doing this as yet another nod to his buddies in China.

Yeah, I’ve read his fatuous book about China relations.

Henry Kissinger sold out our troops in Viet Nam so Nixon could get a photo op with Mao.

Kissinger knew that Red China was pouring men and material into North Viet Nam but ignored the reports after the Ping Pong publicity.
