Asian Talk 211

Home, Away and In Between

– How Chinese talent and business models are shaping the global AI race

 

China and the U.S. are engaged in a test of will in AI. While the U.S. has embraced Artificial General Intelligence as the all encompassing goal, China is pursuing a more practical approach to harness AI – in part reflecting constraints in chips and capital vs the red hot U.S. tech sector.

Chinese engineers and entrepreneurs are central to AI activity globally, including in the “in between” markets struggling to balance US and China influence in tech and broader geoeconomics. How will this all pan out?
