    Top AI power? What does that even mean in an industry that is barely 3 years old and hasn’t really produced anything of measurable significance other than a whole lot of blame diffusion?

      I guess you’d measure whose GenAI models are performing the best on benchmarks (generally currently OpenAI, though top models from China are not crazy far behind), as well as metrics like number of publications at top venues (NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR for ML, CVPR, ICC and ECCV for vision, etc.).

      A lot of great papers come out of Chinese institutions so I’m not sure who would be ahead in that metric either, though.

      Exactly. All of these AI programs are mostly shit anyways and a lot people seem to not care about them. So sure, China can be the best at it. I still wont care much for AI

    The US is currently shooting itself in the face and Russia is embroiled in a war that it can’t actually win.

    All China has to do to reap the benefits is not interrupt.

      Don’t forget its embroiling itself in a genocide in Palestine and war crimes in the Gulf of Aden.

    What is the formal definition of “AI Power” and what metrics or/and index system is used to create rankings?

      It’s a measure of how much energy you can uselessly burn with other people’s money.

      By producing at even higher rates in quantities unimaginable, for the economic demographic. Actual demand is a sidenote.

    5 years is like a millennia in the world of AI so this goal makes little sense to me. Too much can happen including another dotcom bubble burst type of event in this time frame. Good luck I guess but it seems a bit random.

    This is just some fear mongering. God forbid another country wants to be independent of American influence and then it’s a “threat to national security.”
