Summary of the Event
In a recent post, Andrew Ng, co-founder of Google Brain and Coursera, sharply criticized a new White House policy. This policy requires green card applicants to undergo the process from outside the United States instead of being allowed to stay and wait.
According to him, this is an "arbitrary attack" on the legal immigration system, leading to several consequences:
- Separating families. - Causing shortages of highly skilled talent (doctors, teachers, scientists). - Directly undermining US competitiveness in the AI sector.
Kalera News' Perspective
The global AI race is, at its core, a talent race. Experts like Andrew Ng worry that administrative barriers will drive the world's top minds to choose other countries over the US to build their careers, thereby slowing down the pace of innovation.
