It seems the Chinese government is quite sincere in its 'sci-tech' ambitions, which include AI. Though there doesn't seem to be the same levels of sci-fi fantasism as in Silicon Valley, just a more practical focus on seizing the high-tech global frontier and supertuning its surveillance-capitalist model.

True! Still, you have to admit it's quite the opportunity to exploit silicon valley sfi-fi fanatacism into a whole series of own goals.
