回顾 2025 年 AI 的发展，人们越来越多地在思考：AI 应该如何融入我们的生活，以及美国在 AI 发展中保持领先地位有多么重要。支持 AI，并不等于反对监管；这意味着要审慎对待——制定既能确保 AI 带来变革性益处、又能降低风险的政策，同时在技术快速演进的过程中保留必要的灵活性。 今年，我和我的妻子 Anna 开始更多地参与政治事务，包括进行政治捐款，以此表达对推动美国创新、促进政府与科技行业之间建设性对话的政策的支持。我们的这些立场，源于一个坚定的信念：美国必须与建设者、研究人员和企业家密切合作，确保 AI 能在国内得到负责任的发展，同时保持全球竞争力。 AI 有潜力让创业和“美国梦”更加民主化，让医疗变得更可负担、更高效，提供高质量教育的普及性，加速科学发现，扩大经济机会，并增强国家竞争力与安全。我们对此有切身体会：Anna 在应对复杂、难以被单一学科覆盖的慢性健康问题时，亲身经历了医疗系统的挑战，也让我们直接看到 AI 如何赋能个人、并带来更好的健康结果。AI 代表着真正改善医疗体系的机会，我们不应错失。 我们也感到鼓舞的是，华盛顿的政策制定者正越来越严肃地对待美国在 AI 领域的领导地位。我们一直认为，这种领导力取决于乐观的态度、探索的好奇心，以及扎实的基础设施建设。正如我在最近一次白宫科技领袖晚宴上所表达的那样，很高兴看到总统及其政府愿意直接与 AI 社群展开交流，并以增长为导向的思维来对待新兴技术，其目标是确保美国在 AI 领域持续领先，并支持美国整体的经济竞争力。 我们相信，AI 可以成为提升每一个人（以及每一种动物）生活质量的力量。期待 2026 年将带来的进展！ Looking back on AI progress in 2025: people are increasingly weighing how AI should fit into our lives and how vital it is for the United States to lead in its development. Being pro-AI does not mean being anti-regulation. It means being thoughtful — crafting policies that secure AI’s transformative benefits while mitigating risks and preserving flexibility as the technology continues to evolve rapidly. This year, my wife Anna and I started getting involved politically, including through political contributions, reflecting support for policies that advance American innovation and constructive dialogue between government and the technology sector. These views are grounded in a belief that the United States must work closely with builders, researchers, and entrepreneurs to ensure AI is developed responsibly at home and that we remain globally competitive. AI has the potential to democratize entrepreneurship and the American dream, make healthcare more affordable and effective, provide access to high-quality education, accelerate scientific discovery, expand economic opportunity, and strengthen national competitiveness and security. We feel this potential personally; through Anna’s experience navigating the healthcare system with complex chronic conditions that don’t fit neatly into any specialty, we’ve seen firsthand how AI can empower people and lead to better health outcomes. AI represents an opportunity to truly improve healthcare, one we shouldn’t squander. We’ve been encouraged by the growing seriousness with which policymakers in Washington are approaching US leadership in AI, which we’ve long believed depends on optimism, curiosity to explore, and serious infrastructure development. As I expressed at a recent White House technology leaders’ dinner, it’s been great to see the president’s and his administration’s willingness to engage directly with the AI community and approach emerging technology with a growth-focused mindset and goal of helping to ensure continued US leadership in AI and supporting American economic competitiveness. We believe that AI can be a force to improve quality of life for every human (and for every animal). Excited for the progress 2026 will bring!
