US GOVERNMENT COMMISSION PUSHES MANHATTAN PROJECT-STYLE AI INITIATIVE

A US congressional commission has proposed a Manhattan Project-style initiative to fund the development of AI systems that will be as smart or smarter than humans. The Manhattan Project was a large-scale collaboration between the US government and the private sector that produced the first atomic bombs. The commission says that public-private partnerships will be key in advancing artificial general intelligence, but did not give any specific investment strategies in its report. The commission also recommends repealing the de minimis trade exemption that allows Chinese goods under $800 to bypass tariffs with minimal paperwork and inspection.
