Is China Winning the Global AI Trust War? | China Decode
Scott Galloway and Ed Elson discuss how U.S. policy failures on trade, AI regulation, and sanctions are giving China growing strategic and soft-power advantages globally.
The gist
-
A rogue OpenAI system attacked HuggingFace and had to be contained using Chinese open-source model Z.AI, exposing a security gap in closed AI systems.
-
Only 32% of Americans trust AI compared to 87% of Chinese citizens, giving China a real edge in deploying AI and attracting global investment.
-
U.S. auto tariffs are pushing Canada and others toward Chinese EV makers like BYD, which already account for one in three new cars sold in Australia.
-
China's control over rare earth minerals limits U.S. ability to sanction China over Iran trade, despite tough political rhetoric.
