Today, we have something special prepared just for you: a 6-month report (from January 2023 to early July 2023) detailing the transformative impact that the launch of ChatGPT has had in China, India, and the UK.
Why do we start from these countries? China is the most famous US rival. India boasts the second-largest talent pool for AI and ML. The UK tends to lead Europe. While the US media often gets caught up in self-centered narratives, we firmly believe that expanding our horizons to encompass global AI affairs, cultural nuances, and political variations can benefit one a lot.
A twist? This report takes on an experimental format that we hope to refine with your assistance. Each country analysis is written by a different contributor, which means each country has a different style. We leave it to you to decide which style resonates with you the most! The next batch of countries we will prepare according to your (accumulated) choice. Let’s explore the world →
Summary
China
China's rapid advancement in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has garnered significant attention worldwide. Despite geopolitical rivalries and debates over technological supremacy, it is essential to analyze China's AI development objectively. Two key drivers have shaped China's AI sector: global resource scarcity and a whole-of-government approach. This article explores these drivers, current regulatory efforts, unresolved challenges, trends in AI development, and the key players contributing to China's AI landscape. There is also much less AI doomism in China. Why?
India
India, known for its booming startup ecosystem, is actively participating in the global race of AI development. However, there are concerns about whether India's contribution to the AI sphere has materialized significantly. Despite having over 1500 AI-based startups with billions of dollars in funding, India is still considered to be falling behind in the global AI innovation race. Is it because of the “Shiny Object Syndrome”?
The UK
The UK government is actively positioning itself as a global AI leader by 2030 and is taking steps to welcome AI companies. OpenAI has chosen London as its first foreign office, reflecting the UK's efforts in this area. The government's investment in AI, including funding initiatives and infrastructure development, is aimed at boosting the economy and increasing productivity. As in many battles before that, you can hear Britain saying, “The UK will stand together with our allies to lead the way.”
