AI in China: Cutting through the hype

China is a rising power in artificial intelligence. This white paper, a collaboration between Eurasia Group and Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, a leading AI researcher and founder of Sinovation Ventures, provides an in-depth view of China's AI sector, detailing where it lags and where it is leap-frogging ahead of the United States in the most important technology race of the 21^st century. As Dr. Lee argues in an accompanying Financial Times comment, emerging US-China AI leadership is “a new development of considerable geopolitical importance” that will “require more open-minded interactions from other players on the world stage.”
