China's Quest for AI Dominance – And How It's Going

Summary: An update and observations about China's plan to become the world leader in AI. Whether you get your news from Facebook or from the Wall Street Journal you can't help having heard that China is out to displace the US as the world leader in AI. Variously you may have heard that it's already happened or soon inevitably will. The twin questions of when they will succeed (is it inevitable) or whether they will succeed (if ever) is one I get all the time. As a red-white-and-blue American I hope not.
