Google CEO Sundar Pichai warned Sunday that the U.S. must “get the balance right” on artificial intelligence (AI) regulation or risk falling behind China.

In an interview on “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream, Pichai noted that more than 1,000 AI-related bills currently moving through state legislatures could create confusing rules that make it harder for U.S. companies to compete globally.

“How do you cope with those varied regulations, and how do you compete with countries like China, which are moving fast in this technology?” Pichai questioned. “So I think we have to get the balance right.”

Pichai said the U.S. must strike a balance between encouraging innovation and creating guardrails —something he said would be “better done at the national level.”
