Brief about china
We spent a day with China’s rock star of AI, whose new book about China’s superiority in machine learning is jolting American tech companies
Machine learning and neural networks have never been sexier. The top experts in artificial intelligence are speaking before thousands, signing book deals and attracting gobs of money. The sector is moving from tech niche to center stage stardom. Take for example Kai-Fu Lee, the noted investor, former president of Google China and AI researcher. On Friday, at two speaking engagements in San Francisco, Lee basked in the kind of attention typically reserved for rock stars, not technologists. Young men and women in business attire flocked to him. Investors sought introductions. Even school children asked for autographs. Lee is one of AI’s biggest boosters as well as one of its chief critics. Wherever he speaks- from Silicon Valley to Beijing – he draws big crowds and garners much praise.

Turkey has tried standing up to China in the past – and Beijing has not forgotten it. China’s crackdown on its Uighur citizens, a mostly-Muslim ethnic minority group, has faced heavy international scrutiny in recent months. In August the United Nations said it was “deeply concerned” by reports that China had forced as many as 1 million Uighurs into internment camps in Xinjiang, western China. In April, the US State Department said it had heard of Uighurs who had “disappeared” or were unexpectedly detained. Meanwhile, Muslim countries have been deafeningly silent. Over the past … [Read more...] about Why the Muslim world isn’t saying anything about China’s repression and ‘cultural cleansing’ of its downtrodden Muslim minority
