Will China win the AI race?

June 25, 2023

Will China win the AI race? That is a very good question. No one can predict the future with 100% certainty because we have not created the future yet. Quantum mechanics show us that the future is uncertain rather than predetermined. China is definitely a big player in the artificial intelligence (AI) competitive landscape. 

China's main competitive advantage in the AI competition is its vast population and loose privacy laws. With a population of over 1.4 billion inhabitants--second only to India--China can harness incredible amounts of big data to train its AI generative transformers. The communist regime in China is also notorious for not necessarily respecting intellectual property laws, and for monitoring all social and online activity. Therefore, whatever AI technology is developed in other countries will be quickly implemented in China if it serves the goals of the communist party. 

While it is not certain that China will dominate the AI landscape, it is easy to predict that China will be among the top 5 countries in AI worldwide. The AI industry in China has experienced significant growth and development in recent years. China has emerged as a major player in the field of artificial intelligence, with substantial investments, research, and implementation of AI technologies across various sectors. Here are some key aspects of the AI industry in China:

Government Support and Investment: The Chinese government has placed a strong emphasis on AI development and has implemented policies and funding initiatives to support its growth. The "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan," launched in 2017, aims to make China a world leader in AI innovation by 2030. The government has provided financial support, established AI research institutes, and encouraged collaboration between academia, industry, and startups.

Research and Development: China has a thriving research community and is home to several leading AI research institutions and universities. Chinese researchers have made significant contributions to AI advancements, including areas like computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning. China's research output and academic collaborations in AI have been steadily increasing.

AI Startups and Innovation: China has a vibrant ecosystem of AI startups and tech companies. Companies like Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, and Huawei have invested heavily in AI research and development, and have launched numerous AI-based products and services. Startups in China have also made notable contributions, particularly in areas like facial recognition, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and e-commerce applications.

Data Availability and Deployment: China's large population and high mobile internet penetration have provided a vast amount of data that can be leveraged for AI applications. This data availability has fueled advancements in areas like machine learning and deep learning. AI technologies are being deployed in various sectors in China, including finance, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and smart cities.

Ethical and Privacy Concerns: As AI technologies advance, concerns about data privacy, surveillance, and ethical implications have also arisen in China. The Chinese government has implemented regulations to address data protection and privacy issues, and ongoing efforts are being made to ensure the responsible and ethical use of AI.

While China has made significant strides in AI development, the industry is still evolving. There are many challenges, and more will develop in the future. Current challenges include talent retention, intellectual property protection, international collaboration, and geopolitical considerations. These challenges will continue growing and evolving in the near future. This is super interesting. Stay tuned.

Will AI enslave or free humans?

April 9, 2024 Who knows. The most likely scenario is that AI will free humans, not only from forced work for survival and that AI may become the new "slave". AI may also help humans turn into a more advanced (less biological and more artificial) species. Chances are that no human who is alive today will ever see that form of transhumanism materialize. Some current humans may likely live in a transitional phase where AI will continue replacing human workers in every field, allowing humans more free time to become the new "slave masters" on Earth.  We have discussed in many past articles slavery as one of the foundational technologies (tools and methods) developed by humans. All great human civilizations were built on the backs of slaves and slavery-based agricultural economies. The machines of the industrial revolution eventually replaced slaves and freed them globally. AI is the new "slave" and will lead to a new "slavery-based" economy that will

What is AI, what is the Problem Paradox, what are problems and what are solutions?

January 20, 2024  Artificial intelligence (AI) is human-like computerized problem-solving ability.  The Problem Paradox is that the solutions to problems create more problems, which are oftentimes more complex than the original ones. AI will become humanity's problem-solving utility of choice. AI will solve problems faster than any human--or all of humanity for that matter--could ever solve alone. This means that AI will create more problems faster than any previous technology in the history of humanity. This will be nerve wracking for many, and also an incredible business opportunity for entrepreneurs and investors. This article explores what are problems, what are solutions, and what are common problem-solving techniques. It continues introducing the Creatix Medium's concept of the Problem Paradox and begins to drop a new Creatix concept about the AI of Everything. Let us know what you think. AI is the latest "fad" in computer science, and the hottest bubble craze i

Can the essence of animal life be programmed into AI?

September 22, 2023 Yes, the essence of animal life can be programmed into AI.  The first step would be determining what is the essence of animal life. As everything else in this universe, life seems to be related to balancing or neutralizing opposite states. Opposites refer to symmetrical antithesis in value. This universe seems to work by dynamically interplaying opposite states. That could be opposite spin, direction, charge, force, etc.  Animal life seems to hinge on the dynamic balancing of opposite electrochemical impulses produced by the brain. These two opposite impulses are what humans refer to as "pain' and "pleasure". Everything an animal life is controlled by pain and pleasure. Everything an animal, including all humans, have ever done in history, are doing today, and will do tomorrow is utterly controlled by the dynamic interplay of painful and pleasurable electrochemical impulses orchestrated by the brain.  The pain / pleasure pathways are inherited (gen
