How does former Google CEO Eric Schmidt view the U.S.-China AI competition today?
In this candid conversation, he points out several stark challenges facing the United States. He argues that China is replicating its success with electric vehicles in the robotics sector, and that the world may soon be flooded with low-cost Chinese robots. Furthermore, he warns that America is facing a severe power shortage, which could become a fatal flaw for its AI development. Most importantly, he worries about the choice the world will make when U.S. technology remains closed-source and expensive, while China's is open-source and free.
This is perhaps the most direct insider perspective you will hear on the U.S.-China tech competition.
