Military Intervention Proposed to Prevent China from Achieving Artificial General Intelligence
A former White House official has suggested considering extreme measures, such as military strikes on data centers and espionage, to prevent China from reaching artificial general intelligence before the US.
According to a new report, a former US national security official stated that diplomatic, cyber, and military measures must be put on the table to prevent China from taking the lead in artificial general intelligence.
Call for Extreme Measures
Jacob Stokes, a former White House official currently working at the Center for a New American Security, stated that the US should consider extreme measures, including military strikes, to prevent China from being the first party to reach artificial general intelligence.
Details of the CNAS Report
Published under the title of superpowers and AGI, the report emphasized that the US government should examine the feasibility of intelligence, cyber operations, and kinetic interventions to preempt China's potential technological superiority.
Warning of Conflict Risk
Experts warn that a potential military strike against Chinese data centers could trigger the risk of a direct hot conflict between two nuclear powers.

These strategic assessments came to the agenda ahead of the upcoming talks on artificial intelligence governance in Washington later this month between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
