The US is leading the global race for artificial intelligence supremacy thanks to its cutting-edge research, semiconductor expertise and data centre investment. But China is narrowing the gap. Beijing’s technology enthusiasm and industrial policy means it is able to push new models from lab to implementation more quickly than rivals. So will China emerge as the AI superpower of the 21st century?
Join us for a live Ask an Expert Q&A with John Thornhill, the FT’s Innovation Editor, and Eleanor Olcott, the FT’s China Technology correspondent, who will be answering your questions on the tech battle between Silicon Valley and Beijing. The conversation coincides with the launch of The State of AI, a new newsletter in which FT writers discuss aspects of the generative AI revolution with journalists at MIT’s Technology Review. You can sign up here.
The session will take place here, via a text-based Q&A between readers and experts, from 1pm to 2pm (GMT) on Thursday November 13.
