pstAsiatech · x · 2026-07-19
This article discusses why China's AI path differs from the US. The perspective suggests that China prefers to "push forward," treating AI as a routine technology to advance, whereas the US places a heavier emphasis on safety, sovereignty, and risk control.
The core of the piece compares two mindsets toward governance and development: one is more sensitive to safety concerns, while the other prefers to solve problems iteratively as they arise. Rather than focusing on specific models or products, it explores the differences in AI development strategies and societal orientations.
