Artificial Intelligence = USA Ahead… China = Focused + Organized + Gaining I’m assuming that [USA’s] lead [in Artificial Intelligence] will continue over the next five years, & that China will catch up extremely quickly. In five years we’ll kind of be at the same level, possibly. It’s hard to see how China would have passed us in that period, although their rate of improvement is so impressively good. - Eric Schmidt, Chairman, US Defense Innovation Advisory Board, Keynote Address at Artificial Intelligence & Global Security Summit, 11/13/17 229
