"The aim is to dominate technology; specifically Artificial Intelligence (AI). It's a fight taking place in research labs, on university campuses, and in the offices of cutting-edge start-ups - watched over by leaders of some of the world's richest companies, and at the highest levels of government."
"The US has traditionally led on so-called AI brains: the world of chatbots, microchips, and large language models (LLMs). China has been superior on AI bodies: robots, and in particular, humanoid robots that look eerily like people."
"On 30 November 2022, the California-based tech firm, OpenAI, launched its new chatbot. In a six-sentence statement, the company announced they had trained a new model which interacts in a conversational way. It was called ChatGPT."
"Immediately, the tech world was dazzled. You could go on any sort of social network and there was just this flood of posts from people talking about all the different ways that they were using this new little text box that had appeared on the internet."
The US and China are engaged in a technological race to dominate Artificial Intelligence, reminiscent of the nuclear arms race. The competition occurs in research labs, universities, and start-ups, involving significant financial investments. The US excels in AI 'brains' like chatbots and large language models, while China leads in AI 'bodies' such as humanoid robots. The launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT marked a pivotal moment in AI development, showcasing the potential of large language models and sparking widespread interest and innovation in the tech community.
