AI superpowers : China, Silicon Valley, and the new world order
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The United States has long been the leader in Artificial Intelligence. But Dr. Kai-Fu Lee?one of the world?s most respected experts on AI?reveals that China has caught up to the US at an astonishingly rapid pace. He argues powerfully that because of these unprecedented developments in AI, dramatic changes will be happening much sooner than many of us expected. Indeed, as the US-Sino AI competition begins to heat up, Lee urges the US and China to both accept and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power. Most experts already say that AI will have a devastating impact on blue-collar jobs. But Lee predicts that Chinese and American AI will have a strong impact on white-collar jobs as well. Is universal basic income the solution? In Lee?s opinion, probably not. But he provides a clear description of which jobs will be affected and how soon, which jobs can be enhanced with AI, and most importantly, how we can provide solutions to some of the most profound changes in human history that are coming soon. -- Publisher.
