Gooden Sounds Alarm on AI and Bitcoin's Impact on Global Power

Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) believes that artificial intelligence and Bitcoin are reshaping global power dynamics, and the US should ensure its adversaries do not dictate the direction of these technologies.

In a recent discussion, Gooden mentioned that he sees 'direct national security implications' for Bitcoin, and asked whether the United States is prepared to respond to China's strategic direction regarding digital assets.

Gooden has been vocal about the importance of addressing foreign influence in US AI policy, urging the Justice Department to investigate potential foreign influence in July. He also supports measures addressing economic espionage and intellectual-property theft involving US technology.
