China poses the most comprehensive military threat to the national security of the United States and aims to outstrip it as the top artificial intelligence power by 2030, an intelligence report says.
Top AI power? What does that even mean in an industry that is barely 3 years old and hasn't really produced anything of measurable significance other than a whole lot of blame diffusion?
Exactly. All of these AI programs are mostly shit anyways and a lot people seem to not care about them. So sure, China can be the best at it. I still wont care much for AI
I guess you'd measure whose GenAI models are performing the best on benchmarks (generally currently OpenAI, though top models from China are not crazy far behind), as well as metrics like number of publications at top venues (NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR for ML, CVPR, ICC and ECCV for vision, etc.).
A lot of great papers come out of Chinese institutions so I'm not sure who would be ahead in that metric either, though.
5 years is like a millennia in the world of AI so this goal makes little sense to me. Too much can happen including another dotcom bubble burst type of event in this time frame. Good luck I guess but it seems a bit random.
This is just some fear mongering. God forbid another country wants to be independent of American influence and then it’s a “threat to national security.”
