Description:
Red AI: Victories and Warnings From China's Rise In Artificial Intelligence is the definitive book on one of the most controversial topics of our time. Xiang offers a fresh perspective and a new narrative illuminating the much-hyped AI industry in China.
Through compelling stories packed with fascinating details, Xiang dispels the myth and hyperbole surrounding China's position in the artificial intelligence race against the United States.
"My book is definitely contrarian. Media assertions that China is an AI superpower are extremely forward-looking and one-sided, presenting only the evidence supporting these claims and disregarding contrasting facts," Xiang argues.
Xiang, a veteran journalist who grew up in China, takes readers on a journey deep into the heart of China's AI universe to explore cutting-edge developments in facial recognition, speech recognition, self-driving cars, robotics, AI chips, healthcare, and financial profiling services, resulting in an intriguing read that raises compelling questions for one to ponder afterwards.
