this is part of google where he's going to visit except as the innovation laboratory and there they're busy with a ton of must driving but also with k i n h l innovation which is something that germany is still lacking we still using it in process automation and overlooking machines and so i think there is a lot to learn there he wants to rival china at the u.s. on the other official intelligence from what chances does germany have i mean it has missed the boat not really missed the boat yet i mean still every 2nd startup and every 2nd i start up. this connected with with ai is services so there is potential but there is still a lot of skepticism within germany about the use of training starts and also the innovation is still a bit lacking so there are connections to the. demons and your health services where i was doing great services for picture recognition but apart from that still needs to be a lot more money be taken into hands this year because germany has been throwing money at artificial intelligence but what no not the right strategy and not enough not enough exactly like for

companies are spending less time in the courtroom and hopefully more time in the laboratory developing lifesaving innovative drugs. competitors would be able to resolve patent disputes faster and bring their drugs to market sooner, and of course better competition means better prices for patients. it's also good news for taxpayers. just last week, we received a cost estimate of this bill from the congressional budget office, and they found it would lower federal spending by more than a half a billion dollars over ten years. and this is just the savings to the federal government under medicare and medicaid. there would undoubtedly be additional significant savings for consumers and private health insurance. the affordable prescriptions for patients act does not prevent manufacturers from making improvements in their products, and it doesn't limit patent rights. it also doesn't hamper innovation, and it doesn't spend money we don't have on a system we don't really want. it simply stops those who knowingly game and abuse our patent system. our country is proudly a leader in pharmaceutical innovation and partly

laboratories. many americans worry about competition from china and other parts of the world. how do we meet that competition? through innovation. and where does that innovation come from? it's hard to think of a major initiative that's not come since world war ii without some federally sponsored research funding. funding our labs is important. it also helps keep us first in the world in super computing. why is supercomputing important? because that keeps our standard of living high. that keeps our national defense on its toes. china knows that. two years ago, china had the two top supercomputers, but today the united states has the two fastest supercomputers in the world, and the exoscale computing project would deliver the next generation's systems starting in 2021. this accomplishment is not the result of one year of funding or of one political party, but ten years of bipartisan effort through the bush, obama, and trump administrations. democrats and republicans have tried to make sure that america is first in the world of supercomputing. we did it all under the blue line over the last ten years. the funding went up at the r

innovation this china there's something called civil fusion. civil military potion first they check if it is used with the military. >> well look maria, china is google is operating in a.i. laboratory to attract chinese tech talent and we know that way the chinese government operates every single employee is working for being vetted by chinese intention. now google is trying to reassure us we don't work with chinese military that's nonsense anything developed in laboratory is going to flow through employees to chinese intenls and be used by chinese military. >> that's what i was trying to articulate there's a thing called civil military fusion where anything, any innovation that whats in china first tested on military because their ultimate goal is to be number one superpower largest military in the world bigger than the united states. if that's the ultimate goal, of course, you're working with the chinese whether it is university or a company. ultimately you're working with the military. >> it would be just as bad if this company was operating in the united states and it decided to hire chinese nationals which google is probably also a doing. but putting this a.i. lab in beijing i
