Good piece! What the U.S. gets Wrong about China and AI

Characterizing the U.S. and China’s pursuit of AI an “arms race” is too simplistic – but this easily justifies sooo much badness (aka ignoring safety, governance, social impact, regulation) and is conveniently self-fulfilling for big tech’s viewpoints on AI.

In the U.S. AI is often pronounced as a potential superhuman intelligence that is capable of infinite benefit or existential catastrophe. U.S. commentators are projecting U.S. AI philosophy onto China.

China is not simply lagging or secretly sprinting ahead of the U.S., it is optimizing for a different set of outcomes. Chinese AI firms are not pursuing AGI as an end in itself. Many U.S. AI firms are.

China is building applied systems designed to deliver measurable economic returns with a focus on generating productivity, efficiency, and governance. https://centerforhumanetechnology.substack.com/p/china-isnt-racing-the-us-toward-the #AI #AGI #AIRace #China #USA #AIarmsrace #WinnertakeAll #Competition #AIRace #Infrastructure

My 13yo daughter told me that she wants to be a novelist. She is also studying statistics. So I gave her an economics lesson.

This was enabled by a dualistic, unfairer #ElectoralSystem, the #US' #WinnerTakeAll system.
In contrast to a variant of the puralistic, fairer system of #ProportionalRepresentation.

Here is a comparison to the US system of #WinnerTakeAll (or #FirstPastThePost in the #UK:)
