US or China: Who would win the AI race?

[malcovi2]

It seems US is taking the heat and will not be left as 2nd place... http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/breakingnews/30356582
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced plans Monday to create a new college of artificial intelligence with an initial $1 billion commitment for the program focusing on "responsible and ethical" uses of the technology.
The initiative comes amid growing concerns about the impacts of artificial intelligence on global institutions, and fears that China is overtaking the United States in this field."There is no more important opportunity or challenge facing our nation than to responsibly harness the power of artificial intelligence so that we remain competitive globally and achieve breakthroughs that will improve our entire society

Perhaps, but not quite. MIT will use the money to create a new college focusing on artificial intelligence, while China is already out there in the process of creating an actual AI. Seems to me China is ahead of the game.

They are testing unmanned tanks and aircrafts. China is slowly turning into a dictator country.

China, definitely. They're the only country that has the balls to recruit kids to create killer AI weapons for them because why the hell not. They're already planning and ready for an all out war. The US may have kickass ammunition but China's got a billion dollar to fund for their AI weapons alone.

China is planning to overtake the US in terms of Artificial Intelligence. Some researchers AI would be like the internet of the future. It's going to be really necessary for life in the future and China wants to lead. How high do you think is the possibility of China being able to do so?

Either way neither of us wins. We need to regulate AI sooner rather than later.
