As a leading figure in artificial intelligence, Lee continues to shape the tech landscape in China, where he recently noted that Chinese AI models are only 6 to 9 months behind their U.S. counterparts. He has authored influential books such as AI Superpowers (2018) and AI 2041 (2021) and was named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2013. Earlier in his career, Lee held prominent positions in tech, including Vice President at Google, President of Google China (2005-2009), and Corporate Vice President at Microsoft (2000- 2005).
