What China wants from AI
TL;DR
Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump in the White House on September 24, 2026. | Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images The national conversation about AI in the US is full of fear: fear about AI’s potential to end humanity, fear of data centers moving in, fear that government officials will do absolutely nothing even as the industry pleads for regulation, you name it. But the AI conversation looks remarkably different across the Pacific.
Nauti's Take
China's approach shows what happens when politics and the public treat AI as an opportunity: fast integration into daily life and industry. The catch is state steering that leaves little room for criticism and privacy.
Anyone planning strategy in Europe should take the speed advantage seriously while checking which risks come with it.
