Summary
Fei-Fei Li said growing US opposition to artificial intelligence could slow AI progress worldwide, arguing the country’s stance carries outsized global influence.
In a Bloomberg interview, Li said technologists have failed to explain AI’s benefits clearly enough, leaving space for a broader public backlash.
The Stanford professor and AI pioneer warned that if the US does not project a positive path for AI, “everybody loses” — framing the debate as a global, not just domestic, risk.
