🥟 Chao-Down #124 AI detectors discriminate against non-native English speakers, UN to begin delivering food with AI robots, China creates national standard for large language models

AI has a rich immigrant history.

A new study by the National Foundation for American Policy showed that immigrants founded or co-founded nearly two-thirds of the top AI companies in the United States. The study also revealed that 77% of the leading U.S.-based AI companies were founded or co-founded by immigrants or the children of immigrants.

If the United States wants to maintain its competitive advantage, it’ll have to make sure to enact immigration reforms to attract and retain more highly skilled immigrants in the field of AI.
