China's Betting Big On Artificial Intelligence. Could The US Lose The AI Race? | Insight

Data security and risk is not a particularly issue for Chinese tech but a problem associated with tech from any country. You think the US companies are not secretly collecting data from their tech for use for their and US government’s own interests? The US is just doesn’t like others playing their game.

As a Singaporean I have alot of respect for china From a poor nation to becoming a advanced nation is truly amazing.

Talking about censorship, few months ago I asked ChatGpt about US war crimes in the past 20th century. At first, ChatGpt gave me answer about how it was complicated yada yada yada and how it was subjective. When I kept pushing for answer whether the US has committed war crimes, ChatGpt gave me two answers, one answer is that it acknowledged that some people may think the US has committed a war crime, while the other one I forgot already, but I remember none of them really answered my question, and asked me to choose the one I like, LMAO.

I appreciate how, whenever China and data collection are discussed, there's an insistence that the West is concerned about potential alternative uses of the data as if the West doesn't engage in utilizing collected data for various purposes.

When China sets its goals on something... it gets accomplished. And then it excels at it. 💡

I am not surprised if China has already developed even more advanced technologies that we don't know anything about. 👍👍👍

It was cheaper for China to buy reliable Western chips, benefiting both sides. China spends more on chip imports than on oil. The "Made in China 2025" initiative provided substantial funds for chip development, but companies were hesitant due to technical challenges and the risk of competing with established players like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC. The US sanctions forced the Chinese to develop their own supply chain. When self-sufficient, China can provide the world with cheaper chips, while the West and its allies lose access to both the Chinese and global markets. The US is developing its own supply chain, but without access to a large market, it cannot be competitive. The US is leaving no knees untouched in its Tonya Harding competition strategy. The Chinese are very grateful to the US for pushing them towards self-sufficiency. Thanks to the US, China now has its own GPS system and space program. More sanctions, please. Historically, the West has utilized new technologies for military or imperialistic purposes before finding broader applications. The West primarily used gunpowder to create weapons of war, such as cannons and firearms, allowing Western powers to expand their military capabilities and dominate other regions through conquest and colonization of the Americas, Africa, and Asia. The steam engine was instrumental in expanding colonial empires, as steam-powered ships facilitated easier transportation of goods and troops, enabling Western powers to exploit resources and establish control over distant territories. The first use of nuclear technology was dropping atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The same pattern will emerge with AI. The CHIPS Act, high-end chips, and EUV sanctions imply that the US is already working on the weaponization of AI. Following its historical pattern, China will mainly use AI for commercial and peaceful purposes. Papermaking revolutionized communication, education, and record-keeping, spreading knowledge and culture. Gunpowder was used for fireworks. The compass was adapted for navigational purposes, allowing for more accurate sea travel and exploration. Printing facilitated the dissemination of information, literature, and art, contributing to cultural exchange and education. Porcelain was highly prized both domestically and internationally as a luxury item and a symbol of Chinese craftsmanship. Silk was one of the most valuable commodities traded along the Silk Road and played a significant role in China's economy and diplomacy.

Thank God. We have china.

Thanks for an unbiased report on China's technology

for the humanity sake China needs to overcome all the US obstacles and create a multi polar world. No country can decide how others needs to be, atm US wants everyone to be like them, that is unfair and undemocratic. Cheers from UK!

Smart educated people will understand that the perception of your data being used or taken are not just done by China. But by every country. All the same. Hello from Indonesia

China does graduate 1 million more STEM students than the USA each year. Not necessarily in AI, but it is a good measure. Asian countries regularly take top 20% of science and mathematics competitions.

China isn't just building AI, but robots too. Fourier gr1 comes to mind. These robots will help take care of the elderly and do any job that needs filling.

I don't think China is lagging behind the US as being mentioned by the reporter just because the US came out with a chat box. It just a voice google copy. The China US AI race is neck to neck with China even leading in some area like the autonomous vehicles. China has also overtaken the US in it beidou global positioning. Smart Alex reporting by CNA, just to remind you that you are reporting on a China platform of autononous vehicles .😅

I really want their AI tutoring system for my kid.

It’s much more dangerous to let Americans collect the personal info.

i laughed when the guy said china has a perception issue in AI, anyone knows Snowdon and WikiLeaks know who has a perception issue: the USA

strangely China didn't panic when it was banned regarding chips... China responded only with "rare earth"... all countries panicked...

As a member of a minority nation in Canada. I'm more aware and upset by the supremacy of the "anglosphere" over the other countries through Five Eyes, Echelon, etc. than by China.

In the USA, poor Americans excluded from the benefits of economic and technological development have already begun to attack and destroy autonomous robots that make deliveries. This kind of resentment is not seen in China. I assume this will be the main comparative advantage of the Chinese over their American competitors.
