Dr. Kai-Fu Lee--one of the world's most respected experts on AI and
China--reveals that China has suddenly caught up to the US at an
astonishingly rapid and unexpected pace.
In AI Superpowers, Kai-fu Lee argues powerfully that because of these
unprecedented developments in AI, dramatic changes will be happening
much sooner than many of us expected. Indeed, as the US-Sino AI
competition begins to heat up, Lee urges the US and China to both accept
and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant
technological power. Most experts already say that AI will have a
devastating impact on blue-collar jobs. 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? In Lee's opinion, probably not.
But he provides a clear description of which jobs will be affected and
how soon, which jobs can be enhanced with AI, and most importantly, how
we can provide solutions to some of the most profound changes in human
history that are coming soon.
