40% off TNW Conference!
Per the FT article, he said whether it takes some kind of war or not is anecdotal.
This is what you call propaganda.
Among Chinas top AI companies youll find Baidu, a business with abouta $55B market cap.
Lets put that into perspective.
Google is worth overa trillion dollars.
Thats 18 times more than Baidu.
And thats just Google.
Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft are also worth a trillion and theyre all AI companies as well.
And that just leaves public-sector and military AI.
This, however, is conjecture.
The reality is that US companies dont need government investments.
Unlike the US government, Amazon isnt in massive debt to its shareholders.
Amazon is one of the most profitable enterprises in the history of humanity.
And theres no law saying Amazon must work with the US government.
The point is this:In China, all research is military research.
In some weird give up your freedoms for the greater good way his words might make sense.
DARPA is the US governments version of the laboratory Q leads in the James Bond universe.
But theres nothing fictional about DARPA or its work.
For perspective: DARPA literally invented the internet, GPS, and the graphical user-interface.
Im saying it because its demonstrably true.
In fairness, Chaillans clarified his words since the FT article.
On LinkedInhe wrote:
For those who saw this article, I want to clarify one thing.
I never said we lost.
I also said that theyre leading in AI and Cyber NOW.
Not in 10 years as some reports mention.
Those are just common sense fact.
We are competing against 1.5B folks here.
Either we are smarter and more agile or we lose.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story eh?
Per the FT article:
We have no competing fighting chance against China in 15 to 20 years.
The bottom line is that Chaillans spreading propaganda.
Hes employing a centuries-old racist trope called the China Bogeyman.
The US has used it for decades to justify its bloated defense budget to the public.
But because of the sheer fact that there are 1.5 billion people in that country who arent Americans.
