The race for AI supremacy

摘要

Why should Google and America's other AI leaders be worried about competition from China?A lot of people in Silicon Valley assume if you're a copycat, you're doomed for life. You're never going to become a great innovator. China has proven that wrong. Think about a very smart, hardworking bunch of people with strong leadership and business skills who just haven't been in an environment as lucky as Silicon Valley. Being a copycat first actually turned out to be the best training ever.Think of it as a pyramid. For all these copycats entering the base of the pyramid, most will not make it because they never learn to build a good product. But if you copy at the first stage, then learn from the experience and make your next startup better or your current product better, that's a very formidable solution that Silicon Valley never thought possible.
