Blackburn calls for federal internet privacy standard as concerns about online AI use soar
Fox News
Sen. Marsha Blackburn spoke to Fox News Digital about her concerns regarding China's intellectual property theft, and how it could be compounded by AI.
"We’re going to look at it from the IP angle because when you watch what China is doing, and how they are pushing people from around the globe to come to China and file their patents with AI, different applications and uses. And they have filed right at 1.6 million applications. That's more than double the number that had been filed in the US…on AI uses," she said. "We shouldn't let this issue sit out there without going further into the threat that it’s going to create for our U.S. innovators." Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
The senator was referring to statistics from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) that show China filed more patents than both the U.S. and Europe in 2021, more than 1.5 million. China has also filed nearly 75% of the world’s total number of AI patents in the last decade.
