That makes sense, so what does Xi think? Also, given that China is authoritarian but technocratic, it seems plausible that they are not reckless and have some reason behind how they want AI to develop.

How do you expect to learn this by asking redditors?

Maybe some are members of the Chinese AI research community.

I never understood this. I've had redditors provide me with great research. I've even had a redditor give me a well paying job. You get what you put into it, maybe you should think about yourself.

this was 2018. Xi ordered a politubro study on how China could pursue leadership in AI and has been focusing on it since.
