China Threat AI
There you have it! The White House is now considering pre-release government review of AI models before companies can ship them to the public.
Let me translate that for you: Washington wants to approve your AI before you can use it.
The same government that spent $36 billion on Healthcare.gov — a broken login page. The same bureaucracy that took 14 months to approve a font change at the VA. These people want to be the gatekeepers of the most transformative technology in human history.
We have seen this exact movie before. It is called Europe.
The EU passed the AI Act. They created oversight boards. They mandated pre-release assessments. They built compliance frameworks so thick you need a team of lawyers just to deploy a chatbot.
Result? Zero major AI companies built in Europe. Zero. Mistral is the closest thing they have and it is a rounding error next to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or even Chinese labs. Nokia's CEO just said Europe is falling further behind every single quarter. The continent that invented the industrial revolution is now importing American AI because their own regulators strangled innovation in the crib.
The EU's GDP growth? 0.4% last year. America's? 2.8%. Seven times faster. That is not a coincidence. That is what happens when you let bureaucrats decide what technology is safe enough for citizens to access.
Let that sink in.
China is not doing pre-release government review of AI. They are racing. They are deploying. Huawei just posted $12 billion in AI chip revenue. DeepSeek released a frontier model that shook the entire Western AI industry. Beijing's strategy is simple: move fast, win, regulate later.
And now Washington wants to copy Brussels instead of beating Beijing?
If this administration implements pre-release AI model review, every major lab will slow down. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google — they will all face months of delays while government reviewers who cannot even keep their own networks patched decide whether Claude or GPT is safe enough for you.
Meanwhile China ships. Every single day.
How is that acceptable?
This is not about safety. This is about control. The same people who cannot secure OPM, cannot modernize the IRS, cannot ship a working website — they want veto power over artificial intelligence.
America wins when builders build. Period. Government review boards do not create innovation. They kill it. Ask Europe.
