AI’s Potential to Propel China Beyond the US: A Game-Changing Analysis by ChatGPT

China aims to gain the upper hand over the US in artificial intelligence (AI) technology by harnessing generative AI and new infrastructure to close the technology gap. Although China lags behind the US in technical dimensions, the country is catching up by producing the most AI journals, conferences, publications, and leading industrial robot installations, surpassing all other countries combined. China is investing heavily in computing power, seen as increasingly crucial in AI, as it speeds up the processing of large amounts of data. However, the US is still far ahead in terms of AI technology due to the superior investment environment for AI companies, higher quality research, and dominant AI model. Despite the fierce competition between China and the US, there are calls for cooperation, and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger says AI requires collaboration between the US and China to understand its potential and risks.
