Good piece! What the U.S. gets Wrong about China and AI
Characterizing the U.S. and China’s pursuit of AI an “arms race” is too simplistic – but this easily justifies sooo much badness (aka ignoring safety, governance, social impact, regulation) and is conveniently self-fulfilling for big tech’s viewpoints on AI.In the U.S. AI is often pronounced as a potential superhuman intelligence that is capable of infinite benefit or existential catastrophe. U.S. commentators are projecting U.S. AI philosophy onto China.
China is not simply lagging or secretly sprinting ahead of the U.S., it is optimizing for a different set of outcomes. Chinese AI firms are not pursuing AGI as an end in itself. Many U.S. AI firms are.
China is building applied systems designed to deliver measurable economic returns with a focus on generating productivity, efficiency, and governance. https://centerforhumanetechnology.substack.com/p/china-isnt-racing-the-us-toward-the #AI #AGI #AIRace #China #USA #AIarmsrace #WinnertakeAll #Competition #AIRace #Infrastructure

Autonomous actions undertaken by AI Agents on your behalf - gee - what could go wrong?!
Shopping agents or automated shopping "services" embedded inside AI chatbots will likely be the first iteration of this stuff - it's being worked on now >> think Amazon, Perplexity, OpenAI ...
