The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway · China Decode: The World Now Views China More Favorably Than the U.S. (ft. Selina Xu) · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

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 U.S.-China AI race for China.

The humanoids in China, a lot of them are, you know, billed now as AI companions.

So, UBTAC released a bunch of these anime, gorgeous-looking humanoids that are supposed to be like your friend or your helper.

And then there are these very cute, smaller humanoid robots and also AI-enabled toys that are fluffy and like soft toys that are all about, you know, how do you integrate AI

into your everyday entertainment.

So I think the way people interact with AI in China just feels very much more grounded, a lot more for entertainment and pleasure, and then also much more pragmatic compared to the U.S.

And I think that's...

goes back to the broader question that you brought up about the differences in broader approaches.

I think China, by necessity, because of chip export controls, and then also because of just the structural advantages it has in hardware, has allowed AI to be diffused in a way that feels a lot more palpable, a lot more spread out across industries.

And people are not

you know, are seeing many different visions of AI emerging compared to in the U.S., where it's very much dominated by one Silicon Valley narrative that's all been about AGI and now has only recently realized, oh, people don't like this, so we're going to change our narrative.

So I think China and the U.S.

are both trying to figure out what are the use cases for humanoids.

So in China, the closest thing I've actually seen to actual deployment instead of just, oh, display for hype, is having them do some very routine deployment.

task in a controlled setting like a factory.

So mostly some EV companies have been doing this and on their factory floors.

And most of the EV companies in China have highly automated factories that already have very few humans who are on the grounds.
