VIEW EVENT DETAILSAI SUPERPOWERS: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order
AI SUPERPOWERS: China Silicon Valley, and the New World Order (release date: September 25) is a definitive new book on the world’s most respected experts on AI, Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, and reveals how China is now catching up to the United States’ long established leadership position in artificial intelligence at an astonishingly rapid pace. As Sino-American competition in AI heats up, Lee outlines that with the upheaval of traditional jobs, the suddenly unemployed will need to find new ways of making their lives meaningful and how governments will have to cope with the shifting economic landscape.
Join Asia Society Northern California for a conversation with Lee as he discusses the current and future course of artificial intelligence outlined in his new book, AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, releasing on September 25. Lee unpacks how the meteoric rise of China’s next generation of entrepreneurs and companies is leading to new cycles of innovation and providing China with the foundations for co-leadership with the US on AI. Dr. Lee explores what this unfolding AI duopoly means for each country and geopolitics more broadly. Dr. Lee also talks about the future of AI development, and how it will provide countries with many opportunities to collaborate to solve some of the biggest global challenges of our time.
