Former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, recently made a bold statement during a technology summit organized by the US New Security Center (CNAS). He claimed that China is on the verge of surpassing the United States in the field of artificial intelligence. The speech was delivered at the event, where Schmidt, now the executive director of Apple's parent company, emphasized the rapid progress China is making in AI development.
Schmidt noted that while the US will continue to lead for the next five years, China is catching up at an impressive speed. "Trust me, the Chinese are very powerful," he said. This observation aligns with a recent Chinese government policy released in July, which aims to position the country as a global leader in AI by 2030. The plan includes widespread application of AI technologies across both commercial and military sectors.
As someone deeply involved in AI, Schmidt has long been familiar with the field. His connection to the industry comes through DeepMind, the Alphabet subsidiary known for creating AlphaGo, the AI that defeated top Go players. He also highlighted that China is highly interested in AI, even inviting DeepMind to participate in a recent Go Summit to better understand AlphaGo’s problem-solving capabilities.
According to Schmidt, China has already surpassed the US in certain areas of AI research. However, he pointed out that the lack of strong policy support is hindering the US from maintaining its leadership. He criticized the U.S. for underinvesting in basic AI research and for having strict immigration policies that prevent talented individuals from other countries from contributing to the field.
"Some very talented people come from countries where the U.S. does not allow them to enter," Schmidt remarked. "Would you rather let them develop AI elsewhere, or would you prefer them to work here?" He specifically mentioned Iran, where some of the world's top computer scientists have been trained, and expressed hope that they could contribute to companies like Alphabet and Google.
For Schmidt, the key to advancing AI lies in national unity. He argued that collaboration between the government and private companies is more critical than regulatory oversight. While he acknowledged the need for regulation, he believed it should not stifle innovation. Instead, the U.S. government should develop a clear strategy to support AI development and work closely with the private sector.
DeepMind remains one of the leading AI research organizations, according to Schmidt. He noted that Alphabet's AI lab in London is at the forefront of developing super-intelligent systems. However, he also admitted that achieving true superintelligence is still several years away.
In closing, Schmidt urged the U.S. government to take decisive action. "Did we not invent this technology?" he asked. "Do we think only the U.S. should benefit from it?" His message was clear: if the U.S. wants to remain competitive, it must act now and embrace the future of artificial intelligence.
Yuhai Company is engaged to research and development of piezoelectric products and related piezoelectric products, the related piezoelectric products includes the piezo sensors and transducer.
The ultrasonic transducer is a kind of transducer that converts the ultrasonic signal into electric signal, or vice versa. Ultrasound transmitter and receiver is a transducer that can transmit and receive ultrasound. Ultrasound sensor is a kind of sensor, in essence, it is also a transmitter and receiver. The working principle of this kind of equipment is similar to that of radar and sonar. Active ultrasonic sensors can emit and receive reflected waves, and determine the distance of the target by measuring the time interval between transmission and reception. Passive ultrasonic sensor is actually a microphone that can convert ultrasonic signal into electrical signal.
According to the working principle and materials used, the ultrasonic transducer has piezoelectric transducer, electrostatic transducer (capacitive transducer), magnetostrictive transducer, electromagnetic acoustic transducer, mechanical transducer and other types [1].
