Artificial intelligence’s practical uses, not race to AGI, is what counts, Jeffrey Ding says

Jeffrey Ding, a political science professor at George Washington University and author of "Technology and the Rise of Great Powers," argues that the practical application of artificial intelligence, rather than the pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI), is the crucial factor in determining leadership in the AI field. Ding, also the founder of the ChinAI newsletter, believes that "diffusion," or the widespread adoption and implementation of AI technologies, will be the deciding factor between China and the US. He suggests that the ability to effectively integrate AI into various sectors will be more important than simply achieving technological breakthroughs. His work explores the geopolitical implications of technological advancements, particularly in the context of the US-China competition.
