Artificial intelligence specialists warned the Defense Department on Thursday that China has caught up in the AI arms race and has even pulled ahead of America in some areas.
TBH, whenever I hear an American "AI expert" say something, I have a knee jerk reaction to assume the opposite. Though pulling ahead of the smoke and mirrors "AI" that US companies do isn't exactly a challenge.
They are trying good uses too, like using LLMs in robotics and cars (for both movement and planning), but the chats are just more visible for now, with understanble reasons.
I can't believe China has already met the very high bar set by american innovators, someone check the servers at twitter-dot-com to make sure the advanced code for Grok™is still secure
Andrew Moore, a former Google executive advising U.S. Central Command on AI, said he’s seen China surpass America in several areas. He also said he respects the seriousness of the communist competitors’ work in the tech world.
“There are two application areas where they have outperformed hyperscalers in the United States. I’m not going to say where they are right now, what they are right now,” Mr. Moore said at the symposium, which was attended by defense and intelligence officers, tech companies, and other high-level stakeholders.
