Why China Is No Worried About AI

Because the state in in control, and can pull the plug anytime it wants.

“They can immediately cut off the grid of the entire city. They can go to different people to take away their phones. They have an intense amount of power in the physical world,” said Afra Wang, a Silicon Valley-based tech writer focusing on A.I. and technology in China.

“Given this amount of control over its people,” she said, how does one convince the party “that something like A.I. that lives on a computer is scary?”

I'm not sure it's quite as simple as just switching it off because these systems sprawl over so many huge servers in many countries, but China already has a strong nationall firewall to minimise its citizens' contact with the outside world.

I do wonder if we will see a lot of retreat around the world to much safer forms of information archiving and sharing. E.g. companies and government agencies keeping personnel, financial and IP material only on private servers not linked to the Internet; physical separation of systems, blocks on any but the most important and innocent international digital traffic; even going back to paper records and mail.

They shut down a city of 10 million (wuhan) in 24 hrs . The Chinese are logistical geniuses when they want to be .

Interesting perspective. Yet there's still is the dark web. That is scarier. 😞

AI doesn't have to be in any one place.
