Congressman Rick Crawford warns that slowing AI development risks handing China a strategic win, framing it as a critical national security issue. Meanwhile, former President Obama privately urges Democrats to make AI the top political priority, acknowledging its potential in medicine and clean energy while warning of dangers if left unregulated.
