The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway · The Week: China Is Undercutting America’s AI Boom · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

I think this statistic took a lot of people by surprise.

There were a few other surveys by like Edelman and others that people started paying attention to.

But I think as negativity in the U.S.

towards AI grew to quite a feverish

pitch this year people are suddenly like oh my god why is China so much more positive and obviously you know the surveys are not fully representative of sentiment on the ground which is often not monolithic but being in China a few times this past few months I

I think the main thing, the main attitude difference that I sense between, you know, Chinese and Americans is that in China, people are very pragmatic.

They don't see AI as this, you know, in general, this machine god.

Talk of AGI or artificial general intelligence is pretty much absent from most convos other than if you're talking to a very specific minority of westernized, you know, policy elites.

And for the average Chinese person, AI is either a tool where maybe they have to learn because they are mandated to by their bosses and their jobs.

All these very doomsday, what people now call doom trolling in the U.S., of like, AI will make us extinct.

AI machine god's going to come.

It will be like the Terminator.

It's terrible.

There's none of that, even with all the humanoid craze in China, which actually...

is another structural advantage on hardware side for the US-China AI race for China.

Yeah, that's a great question.

I actually visited Moonshot and also z.ai in Beijing end of May.

So I think it's really interesting just how fast things are moving.

If you look at the pace of releases, right, like think about it, DeepSeek v4 came out in April.

And then we had the whole Fable mythos, you know, saga.
