USCC suggests setting up a Manhattan-like project in the US

• The report also suggests that the race for a remarkable AI across various industries lies majorly in integrating enabling technologies and building blocks, such as advanced chips, rich data sets, computational power, and many more. 
• The report further went on to note that AGI systems are either as good as or better than human abilities. Also, it could take over the brightest human minds in every task assigned. 
• The Commission says that China is continuously working on building some technological projects like AI, quantum computing, battery energy storage systems, and many more over the past few years. 

On November 19, a U.S. congressional commission suggested building something similar to the Manhattan Project to step forward the growth of AI in between increasing competition with China.  

The November

If we talk about the Manhattan Project, it was a private research project that was responsible for developing the first nuclear bombs at the time of World War II. And, the codename for this project was Manhattan. 

The report further went on to note that AGI systems are either as good as or better than human abilities. Also, it could take over the brightest human minds in every task assigned. USCC believes that a public-private collaboration such as the Manhattan Project will lead to stepping up AGI in the United States. 

For this, the Commission gave various recommendations in which it specified the US Secretary of Defense to mark AI projects which holds the highest national priority.  The strategic investment will not only help in boosting the technological expertise in the U.S. but it will also keep in mind that it remains intact within national interests. 

The Commission says that China is continuously working on building some technological projects like AI, quantum computing, battery energy storage systems, and many more over the past few years. 

The report also suggests that the race for a remarkable AI across various industries lies majorly in integrating enabling technologies and building blocks, such as advanced chips, rich data sets, computational power, and many more. 

China is rapidly working toward technological advancements and has shown capabilities to innovate around the US despite being the United States leader of AI-related technologies in the currency scenario.

USCC has given another recommendation to revoke trade exemptions which will permit some types of Chinese goods to avoid US tariffs.
