Preparing for AI: exploring everything AI through a China-US lens
Welcome to Preparing for AI. Exploring everything AI through a China-US lens. We explore the human and social impacts of AI, diving deep into how AI now intersects with everything from Politics to Relgion and Economics to Health.
In series 4 we are looking at everything AI from the dual persectives of China and the US. Not just the arms race between the two nations but also the different approaches to models, to integration, to regulation and the differences in the way it affects these two societies. Your hosts are China based, but brought up in the West so we bring a unique nuanced persepective.
In series 1 we looked at the impact of AI on specific industries, sustainability and the latest developments of Large Lanaguage Models.
In series 2 we delved more into the importance of AI safety and the potentially catastrophic future we are headed to. We explored AI in China, the latest news and developments and our predictions for the future.
In series 3 we did deep dives into wider society, looking at like economics, religions and healthcare. How do these interest with AI and how are they going to shape our future? We also continued our monthly news update looking at the AI stories we've been interested in that might not have been picked up in mainstream media.

One of your best outro songs guys! When AI makes all minor apps obsolete, train apps, parking apps, etc, etc, it can only be a good thing. As for AI destroying huge numbers of the human race - I fear it could happen.
