The AI ‘Race’: China vs. the US with Jeffrey Ding and Karen Hao
Your Undivided Attention
Challenges and Concerns in AI Development
The challenge lies in the struggle of both the US and China to achieve self-sufficiency in chip manufacturing, creating a vulnerability as they heavily rely on a single company in Taiwan. There are concerns about the potential theft of advanced AI models by determined state actors. Despite the open-source nature of AI, the incentive for stealing technology remains questionable since the military adoption of new AI technologies is a systematic and cautious process. The ability to steal blueprints or technology does not necessarily equate to the capability to effectively utilize or replicate it. The tacit knowledge and experience required in AI development, especially in military applications, play a crucial role in surpassing mere technological theft. While espionage may provide insights, the actual implementation and mastery of cutting-edge technologies like stealth fighters require more than just stolen blueprints, as seen in the case of China's inability to match the US in building effective stealth fighters despite reported thefts.
