How China Sees the A.I. Race

China's approach to artificial intelligence diverges significantly from the U.S. focus on achieving superintelligence, as explained by Matt Sheehan, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Sheehan highlights that China's strategy emphasizes practical applications and economic benefits over theoretical breakthroughs. This divergence underscores a broader strategic difference in how the two nations view technological advancement and its role in global dominance, with China aiming to leverage AI for immediate economic gains rather than a distant superintelligent future.
