Summary

THE NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER

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.

Kaifu Lee is a pioneer in AI and definitely someone whose voice everyone needs to hear. His view of China is unrealistically benign given the current Chinese leadership, but his instincts are noble. The narration is annoying and choppy because of poor voice editing. Some of the butchered pronunciation of Chinese words makes me cringe even though I’m not a native speaker of Chinese.

Sehr gute Darstellung und Einführung in das Thema KI mit dem Schwerpunkt auf der Entwicklung in China. Das Buch ist kurzweilig geschrieben. Es gibt einen guten Einblick in die chinesische Internet- und Techwelt und lässt unsere Zukunft erahnen.

Positiv ist, dass es hier quasi zwei Bücher zum Preis von einem gibt. Der Autor schreibt über KI, aber auch sehr viel über die Tech-Welt in China heute und deren Entwicklung.

Wenn der Autor mit den USA vergleicht, merkt man schon das dort klar kritisiert wird, während das politische System in China schlimmstenfalls neutral dargestellt wird, aber meistens gelobt wird. Dies mag an einigen Stellen berechtigt sein, ist aber mehr als undifferenziert. Jedenfalls kann man nichts anderes erwarten, wenn der Autor eine Firma mit Sitz in Peking führt. Den Umstand sollte man beim Lesen im Hinterkopf haben und kn die Deutung mit einbeziehen.

Guter Einstieg und Überblick

This book is exceptional, in a way that it leads the class of workaholics into a more compassionate future with and not against AI.

excellent storytelling
