So I understand respect.

Basically, I would say it's to sit there, not as if I'm superior to them, but as as if I'm really interested to learn from them.

And genuinely, Stephen, when I would sit in those meetings, all in Chinese, they would show slides that have competitive market share.

So they'd say, you know, it's not like China is this, America is this, Germany is this from market share point of view.

My question is,

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

Are the people of the West going to wait?

And the answer is somewhere in the middle where basically you join the AI race for the good of your community.

OK, so so there is resignation on one side is like, I'm not going to play this game at all.

There is offense on the other side where I'm playing this game to destroy everyone else.

And there is a balance in the middle where we say we're going to build an ethical form of AI that's going to help our communities.
