"China is moving very fast here. They're investing lots of money and they're doing it in a different way - they don't have the same kind of values that we have, they're putting a lot of focus on facial recognition, on following people around," Schumer said at the AI summit hosted by an American news agency.

"If we don't move forward, it will lead to not only a different dominant system of AI with different values, but we’ll fall behind economically rather dramatically," Schumer stressed.
