Openai boss Sam Altman defended the Trump administration’s decision to support the artificial intelligence of agreements with Saudi water and Arabia while exploding criticism of arrangements as “naive”.
Several AI agreements were announced during the recent Trump Middle East tour – including a pact in which Nvidia and AMD have agreed to sell thousands of fries to Saudi Arabia. The legislators of the two parties questioned the transactions concerning the concerns they were lacking in guarantees to prevent China from reaching advanced American manufacturing fleas through third parties.
“It was an extremely intelligent thing for all of you and I’m sorry that naive people give you sorrow,” Altman wrote to X last Friday in response to an article from the White House Ai Czar David Sacks.
Sacks said that it was “truly perplexed to see how any self-proclaimed” Chinese falcon “can say that President Trump AI treats with Saudi water and Arabia is not extremely beneficial for the United States.”
“As the semiconductor analyst observed, Dylan Patel, these agreements” will significantly modify the balance of powers “in favor of America. The only question you have to ask is: China want to have made these offers? Yes, of course.
The Altman OpenAi announced last week the construction plans for a new solid water center to support its AI efforts. In addition, Amazon Web Services unveiled an initiative for an “IA zone” of $ 5 billion in Saudi Arabia.
The head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer (D-NY), castigated the chip agreements supported by Trump in a speech on the ground on Thursday.
“This agreement could very well be dangerous because we have no clarity on how the Saudis and the Emiratis will prevent the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government, the Chinese manufacturing establishment from getting their hands on these tokens,” said Schumer.
The United States US Selective China Committee led by Republicans has also questioned agreements.
“The reports of new American chips deal with the Gulf nations – without a new chip rule in place – have a vulnerability for the CCP to exploit,” the committee said in a statement.
“The PCC is actively working to indirectly access our most advanced technology. Without an official AI dissemination rule, agreements such as this risk creating stolen door vulnerabilities for the bypass of export control,” added the Committee.
