AI Superpowers

AI Superpowers

China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order

You hear and read it everywhere: AI – Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the world. But where exactly are changes happening and who is affected by them and to what extent? If you want to learn more about AI but prefer reading novels to business guides, this book is for you.

Kai-Fu Lee is one of the world’s most renowned AI experts. His New York Times bestselling book offers the Chinese-American perspective for the first time. As a Taiwanese-born American and former head of Google, he knows both worlds well and uses real-life examples to tell the story of

  • how business cultures clash;
  • why Silicon Valley strategies were bound to fail in China;
  • how a Chinese Google (Baidu), Facebook (WeChat) and Amazon (Alibaba), have long been setting standards and working their way unchecked to the top of the world.
