You can't get away from AI – and it's increasingly a geopolitical issue. ⁣ ⁣ So says Jeffrey Sachs, a public policy analyst and former Senior UN advisor, as leaders in the field gather at the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai.⁣ ⁣ "AI is already demonstrating its power, and all over the world, governments are saying, 'We need to be part of this. Our industry needs to be part of this,'" he explains.⁣ ⁣ "And because of the US-China competition, and especially the way the US has managed this, it's become a geopolitical as well as a technological and economic issue."⁣ ⁣ #ai #china #us #shanghai #waic
