It's a few months behind by most experts' estimates.

But if AGI is not the final destination, I mean, if it's not even possible and the real way to go is to just use AI to improve our daily lives now, then I think China has the edge because it already has deployed AI so much more than the U.S.

has.

And it's also important to note that by putting AI everywhere in these robots, in these driverless cars,

It's also generating a bunch of new data all the time that is making these Chinese models even better every single day, which helps solve one of the bigger problems in AI these days, which is kind of just running out of training data.

China is just constantly generating new data for its own models.

So at the end of the day, I think that the problem is AI is still so full of so many unknowns.

We don't know what the future of this technology is.

We don't know what exactly it means to dominate AI or what it would take to dominate AI.

And so it's really impossible to say who is pursuing the right path.

Yeah, I think it is a really interesting contrast with the United States, where the public hesitation or even pushback to AI is creating, in many ways, political problems for these AI companies.

But in China, because people are feeling that this AI is actually tangibly impersonal,

It's making their food get delivered to them faster.

It's making products maybe cheaper because factories are more efficient.

People really feel that this technology could be something that is good for them.

And I think it's worth noting that we have started to see the conversation in China shift a little bit, especially in recent months.

We have seen people start to talk a little bit more about what happens to my job if AI becomes everywhere.

But I think that sentiment is still not as maybe prominent as it is in the United States.

And actually, that is maybe an interesting result of the government restrictions that we talked about.

So yes, on the one hand, they might make it more difficult for Chinese companies to innovate.
