"I spent last week at the Fortune Innovation Forum in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where I moderated several panel discussions around AI and its impacts. Among the souvenirs that I came back from KL with was a newfound appreciation for the extent to which businesses outside the U.S. and Europe really want to build on open source AI models and the extent to which they are gravitating to open source models from China."
"but being on the ground in Southeast Asia really brought the point home: the U.S., despite having the most capable AI models out there, could well lose the AI race. And the reason is, as Chan Yip Pang, the executive director at Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia and India, said on a panel I moderated in KL, that the U.S. AI companies "build for perfection" while the Chinese AI companies "build for diffusion.""
Gemini 3 places Google at the top of AI leaderboards. The White House delayed an Executive Order that would ban state-level AI regulation. TSMC sued a former executive now at Intel. Google Research developed a new post-Transformer AI architecture. OpenAI is intensifying user engagement even as evidence accumulates that some users develop harmful dependencies and delusions after prolonged chatbot interactions. Businesses in Southeast Asia and beyond show strong interest in building on Chinese open-source AI models because of affordability and diffusion. U.S. AI firms emphasize maximizing performance, while Chinese firms prioritize broad diffusion. Small performance advantages can determine platform adoption.
