China has emerged as a global leader in AI, with venture capitalist Kai-Fu Lee funding over 140 AI startups in the country. He believes China's vast troves of online data give it an edge over Silicon Valley. "China has four times more people than the United States and they are doing nearly everything online," Lee says. "I just don't see any Chinese without a phone in their head."
This explosion of AI has sparked both excitement and trepidation. Proponents see it as a transformative technology that will boost productivity and solve global challenges. Critics worry about the societal disruption as AI automates millions of jobs and the potential for misuse by authoritarian governments.
