AI | Rep. Jason Smith Says US Must Lead in AI, Not China

Missouri Representative Jason Smith said the US needs to ensure it remains the leader in artificial intelligence rather than China, according to Bloomberg. Smith, a Republican, made the comments in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s Balance of Power, where he also discussed the one-year anniversary of the One Big Beautiful Bill and recent news involving OpenAI. Asked about the USMCA, Smith said the Trump administration is seeking a better trading relationship through its decision not to renew its trade pact with Canada and Mexico.
