AI Superpowers

In his witty new book, AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order , Kai-Fu Lee—one of the world’s most recognized experts on AI and China--reveals that China has caught up to the US at an astonishingly fast pace. In fact, Lee argues that because of this unprecedented development in AI, dramatic changes will happen much sooner than many people expected. Lee urges the US and China to both accept and embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power. Most experts say that widespread adoption of AI is going to result in millions of blue-collar jobs being lost. But Lee predicts that Chinese and American AI will have a strong impact on white-collar jobs as well. Is universal basic income the solution?
