Sundar Pichai emphasized the significance of technological collaboration between the United States and Asia, naming China the leader in AI.
Alphabet and its subsidiary Google’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Sundar Pichai, hinted at the possibility of China’s emerging industry leader in artificial intelligence (AI).
Pichai was in San Francisco on November 16 for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference, where he also emphasized the significance of collaboration between the United States and Asian nations in innovation and regulation in the AI sector.
At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Conference, Sundar Pichai reportedly expressed his opinion regarding China’s leadership in the AI industry.
China Leads in Artificial Intelligence
Sundar Pichai believes that one requires China’s assistance to advance in the AI sector, given that China’s innovations and support for AI startups are accelerating progress in the AI industry. AI has consistently been regarded as being at the vanguard in China.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, lauded China earlier this year and stated that the country should significantly impact the development of artificial intelligence regulations that are essential for guaranteeing the security of revolutionary new systems. After the triumph of ChatGPT, Sam Altman, who has become the face of modern AI, supports China’s leadership in AI regulations.
Alphabet’s CEO has made a similar remark, stating that for long-term progress, China and the United States should engage in discussions regarding artificial intelligence.
Comparing the significance of global cooperation on AI safety to that of climate change, he elaborated on the necessity of such cooperation. Says Pichai, “If something goes wrong with AI technology in one country, it affects the entire internet.”
Sundar’s Statement After Joe Biden-Xi Jinping’s Bilateral Talks
It is worth mentioning that Sundar Pichai’s statement was issued after the recent summit side discussion in California between United States President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. Discussions on artificial intelligence were the primary focus of the meeting, in addition to bilateral discussions.
In the meantime, China declared its intention to become the global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030 in 2017 when discussing its AI voyage. China is advancing more rapidly than the European Union and the United States.
Furthermore, the Chinese government’s recent declaration of investments in artificial intelligence (AI) in China, estimated to amount to tens of billions of dollars, provides further impetus for this aspiration.
