China's Ambitious AI Integration and Its Global Implications
China has unveiled a ten-year plan to fully integrate AI into its economy by 2035, focusing on practical applications across various sectors, contrasting with the US's more speculative approach. The initiative aims to make AI a key driver of growth, with significant government backing and projects like the city of Xiong'an exemplifying this strategy. While the US leads in AI benchmarks and investment, China's pragmatic focus on immediate AI applications could reshape its economic landscape, though success remains uncertain.
