Global Scenarios and Chinese Strategies for General Artificial Intelligence

Digital Horizons: AI, Robotics, and Beyond for Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders - A podcast by Andrea Viliotti, digital innovation consultant (augmented edition)

The episode explores China's strategies in developing artificial general intelligence (AGI), highlighting a divergence from the Western approach, which is primarily focused on Large Language Models (LLMs). China is pursuing a more diversified strategy, integrating LLMs with bio-inspired neural networks, hybrid systems, and embodied learning to create AI capable of advanced reasoning and aligned with societal values. This approach, backed by government policies, contrasts with the substantial Western investment in LLMs, which is seen by some as potentially limiting for achieving true AGI. In conclusion, the document suggests that a diversified strategy is essential for maximizing returns on AI investments.
