Andrew Ng says top U.S. AI teams learn heavily from Chinese research

Andrew Ng argues that knowledge sharing in AI is increasingly two-way: many top U.S. teams read Chinese research papers, learn from them, and benefit from innovations developed in China.
He says China has become more open than the U.S. in AI innovation since ChatGPT’s launch, with teams publishing research papers freely online and accelerating open-weight, open-research adoption. He adds that a lot of technology now used by top U.S. teams came from ideas learned from Chinese research.
