Who will lead in AI: China or the US?

Chinese tech giants are fast catching up with their American rivals in creating artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots. 

The world's second largest economy is spending $15 billion (€13.5 billion) on AI projects this year alone.

Before the emergence of major language models such as ChatGPT, which is backed by the US company Microsoft, some technology experts could not say with certainty that the West would dominate the AI ??race, despite the fact that the most advanced AI laboratories are located in the US and Britain. Big, writes DW.

Kai-Fu Lee, a Taiwanese businessman, predicted in 2018 that China would quickly overtake the US as an AI superpower, insisting that the technology had already passed the innovation stage. 

Critics of Kai-Fu Lee argue that the AI ??revolution is still in its infancy and that it is the West that holds the key to this technology.

"The big innovations in AI haven't come yet... And the US currently has the edge in that area," Pedro Domingos, a professor of computer science at the University of Washington, told DW. 

The US is concerned about Beijing's technological ambitions, especially since the Chinese government's official policy is to make the country the world's dominant AI player by 2030. 

But China has many more hurdles to overcome before it can become the world's AI dominant. President Xi Jinping has weakened the tech giants in recent years. Karman Lucero, a researcher at the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale Law School, says the Chinese government's obsession with censorship may be the Achilles heel of artificial intelligence technology.

China also has problems with specialists. Despite the many efforts to build an army of AI talent, retaining top tech specialists is a challenge in itself./ CNA.al
