💨 Abstract

The U.S. congressional commission has proposed a Manhattan Project-style initiative to fund the development of AI systems as smart or smarter than humans, in response to increasing competition with China over advanced technologies. The commission emphasizes the importance of public-private partnerships for advancing artificial general intelligence (AGI), without providing specific investment strategies. The proposal comes as China is aggressively pursuing AGI, and the commission warns of potential shifts in global power due to rapid technological changes.
