Nicolas Chaillan, Former Pentagon Software Chief, on What the US Must Do to Win China AI Battle Before ‘Point of No Return’

October 19, 2021

“We’re losing this battle.” The United States is losing the AI race against communist China, says Nicolas Chaillan, who recently resigned from his position as the chief software officer for the U.S. Air Force.


U.S. companies still lead in technological advancements, but they are unwilling to share their technology with the Department of Defense. “If we stopped over-classifying information … they might see pretty quickly that [the communist China threat] is going to become a real problem even to their day-to-day lives,” Chaillan says.


If the United States doesn’t start catching up now, soon the situation will “pass the point of no return,” Chaillan says, due to the accelerating nature of AI development.
