    The article compares the different approaches and goals of China and the US in developing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

    China is focusing on building large-scale AI systems that can perform specific tasks such as facial recognition, natural language processing, and autonomous driving. China aims to use AI to boost its economic growth, social stability, and global influence.

    The US is pursuing more fundamental research on the nature and limits of intelligence, both human and artificial. The US hopes to create more general and adaptable AI systems that can learn from diverse data and environments, and solve complex problems across domains.

    The article argues that both countries face challenges and risks in their AI endeavors, such as ethical, legal, and social issues, as well as potential conflicts and competition. The article suggests that more cooperation and dialogue between the two countries could benefit both sides and the world.

      The US is also doing a whole lot of work on facial recognition, language processing, and autonomous driving. How do they quantity the efforts of each nation in those areas?

          ? Are there working self driving cars in China? And natural language processing is everywhere. But I agree on facial recognition, that’s much more useful to for China’s government style.

            L5? No. L4? Of course. IIRC it’s even been exported to the UAE.

            Edit: London has more security cameras per capita than Beijing. I’m not sure what your point is?

              Half a dozen us companies have that too.

              China’s networking of the information is the relevant part, not the number of overall cameras. It supports their move towards more control over money and what people can purchase.
