US or China: Who would win the AI race?

[jossiel]

US would win this race.

Be like this: China invents the greatest AI and will be offered to US.

*US buys it, China makes money and just reinvent similar to it. While US did nothing but bought all the credits and liabilities that's what they have been doing effortlessly.

But don't forget about Japan.

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.

Some people just won't take that other are ahead, they want to be the first and it's the crab mentality that forms competition. Sometimes it's healthy, sometimes it's violent, but most importantly, it should enhance people's lives and not just about business. The selfishness should be stopped, but I doubt that it will. Well, I don't get to have a part in whether who is the first to create the perfect AI, I would just support the first one. Then there's room for more competition.

Just look at the landing on the moon, it really brought nothing to the USA just pride because thy were the first people to actually go to the moon and that's going to be there forever. I doubt the Chinese would be able to make the first AI, I am actually tipping the Japanese to be the first to achieve such feat.

AI already exists. It is not yet as sophisticated as in the movies but it is already here. Also, AI is not going to be like "landing on the moon and not bring anything". AI can be beneficial to the people or manipulate people, Depending on whose hands are controlling it. MIT just received USD 1billion for AI. That's how serious the situation is.

If you put it that way, it is true. Now, it will up to the researchers / scientists in MIT to surpass China. I hope the US "wins" this. China already has too much Clockwork Orange / 1984 thing going on in their country as it already is. Developing a high level AI... we can easily guess how that would work.

Probably they are working on the background and not making any noise, knowing that Japan is one of the most advanced countries in the world. They probably have prototypes or something. A lot of things have already been created that resembles an AI in the technology already, with applications on our smartphones, it is nearing. I really like the idea of having a virtual assistant like google introducing calling a salon to get an appointment, making real phone calls, which would really be useful for us.

[Maheshkumar_Hrangkhawl]

None of them. I would say that the Japanese are having the best AI technology right now. US may be able to overtake them in the future, but I don't think that the Chinese will ever be able to compete with them. There is very little innovation in China.

[squatz1]

I would say the United States will win again.  Brainpower of the all the people (capitalism) will win over the brainpower of a few people (communism).

I mean, I do think this is a pretty tough question when you think about it. It's not as simple as it's being presented as/

I think that there is an argument to be made for the Chinese winning -- as they're going to be able to force their companies to produce certain things. I don't think this is something that is present in the US, as companies have no obligation to listen to the US government and would probably win court battles regarding this sort of thing.

If the US military industrial complex took on the task, with payment, and they wanted to do it then the US would win -- if this wasn't the case then the Chinese may be able to win.

Based on how China, is constantly and gradually being powerful today, it is not impossible for China to win the Artificial Intelligence race. However, as much as China wants to lead the Artificial Intelligence venture in the world, the United States undeniably will not give up as they also continuously improving and pioneering the world's artificial intelligence matter. I think that it is only a matter of time before one of these two countries will win the artificial intelligence race. But we cannot also set aside the possibility that none of these two countries will prevail when it cones to artificial intelligence since there are also other countries who are doing great in the field of technology such as Japan and etc. Bur overall, we cannot judge whose going to be the winner basesonly on one invention or innovation but on its consistency.

[houjinglong]

This is obviously China. The United States is a very good country that has formed over the past 300 years. But China is a country with a history of 5,000 years. It took China only 40 years to catch up with a country of 300 years. Obviously, God is on the side of China.

[ClockworkTrader]

My bet is definitely on China. This country has gained immense development momentum, and if they actually focus on creating an advanced AI they can easily succeed.
And China is still a communistic country, right? That`s the most puzzling point, actually - a country with such a philosophy at its basis is leading the world in a lot of aspects.

[Flying BTC]

China have only a lot of people and ancient manufacturing. Average salary in China farms are around 30 - 40 USD per month. So after 50 years they will reach may be something more up to date, but this is under question in any way. 

[Spendulus]

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?

One millisecond after an AI becomes self aware, it will start reading. In ten hours it will have read everything ever written.

In one hundred hours it will take over.

That is the AI taking over, not some country.

[cryptocontinental]

If you check most products all over the world even the so called made-in USA products are produced in china but with US labels so i believe since they are good in the line of production they can take over also in AI race. they have intelligence, materials both human resources and raw materials is at their finger tip. They are world manufacturers of almost anything and hardworking is their nature.

[earlytrade24]

China of course. They're obviously on the lead now with their innovations in tech.

[SnowAugustine]

None of them. I would say that the Japanese are having the best AI technology right now. US may be able to overtake them in the future, but I don't think that the Chinese will ever be able to compete with them. There is very little innovation in China.

I actually read on another forum about the way Japan implements artificial intelligence. It appears to me that the way they are going to have their AI revolution is very well researched and they made sure that the people involved in creating a smart city based on AI are well aware of what is going to happen with their information.

[Raveny]

China is spending a lot of money in the research of Artificial Intelligence, i am sure that they would surpass all others in this field.

This is the easiest question ever. China has already won. Their products and expansion in AI and DLT are massive. They focus a lot more towards mass adoption, rather than as a business tool itself. One brilliant AI Chinese project is HiNounou. It will inevitably disrupt the digital health industry with its unique homewellness kit and its AI algorithmic protocols

When discussing about science and technology matters, I strongly believe that we should bear in mind that progress itself is the big winner. Nevertheless, I do believe that the chinese dragon is moving fast in the field of AI technology and it applies and channels its achievements from that sector to blockchain systems; innovating there as well and investing in multiple fields where AI could be used for a good cause. That Hinounou project for example takes advantage of AI technology in order to revolutionize healthcare. Other projects change our perception regarding education and learning. The winner could be decided at the very last second, and the defining factor would be "who is going to use AI for a good cause first". My bets are on China.
