In this book, Kai-Fu Lee argues that China is poised to become the next tech-innovation superpower due to its unique advantages in AI development, such as abundant data, fewer data protection regulations, and aggressive tech startup culture. Lee discusses the potential economic upheaval caused by AI, the impact on employment, and proposes a social contract to forge a new synergy between AI and human society. The book emphasizes the need for both the US and China to accept and embrace the responsibilities that come with significant technological power.
China is making bold moves in the AI race, and DeepSeek is proof that it’s not just catching up—it’s challenging Silicon Valley’s dominance.
In this episode, we break down why DeepSeek is making waves, how it fits into China’s larger AI strategy, and what this means for the future of global AI development.
We explore the insights from Kai-Fu Lee’s AI Superpowers, examine how China’s approach to AI differs from the West, and take a deep dive into DeepSeek’s impact.
Is this the beginning of a shift in AI leadership? And how should the rest of the world respond?
