Shyam Sankar, the chief technology officer and executive vice president of Palantir Technologies, told Fox News Digital in a new interview that the United States is in a competition with China when it comes to artificial intelligence and keeping American workers competitive.
"You see this, there's a wire manufacturer where you have a prior enlisted Navy man, no credentialed particular education, but he's the expert at running the factory," Sankar said.
"And AI has given them the ability to lever up their productivity," Sankar added. "They have improved yields 50%. They've reduced downtime on machines 20%. They're able to produce more. And if we think about the geopolitical context that we exist within, we're in a competition with China. We want to bring these jobs back to America. Giving the American worker the ability to be 50 times more productive, that superpower is how we're going to make it profitable and economical to bring back the work to America."
