Kai-Fu Lee
Fortunately for millennials and their
parents Mr Lee published the best seller “AI Superpowers : China, Silicon
Valley and the new world order” before Mr Trump’s oriental witch hunt. The
cat is out of the bag- AI is –or needs to be- the next universal human
language. Coming
as it does in multiple forms mapped out in KFL’s book such as place AI,
internet AI, corporate business AI, conscious market purpose or educational AI,
sensory AI ..
We who dream of making youth and
education great again -for every girl and boy to be free to build livelihoods
and families - are fortunate that Kai-Fu
survived cancer. As the west was subpriming finance, this transferred him via a
Hong Kong hospital from the head of Google AI in silicon valley to hubs outside
Tsinghua university most hungry both for AI and supercity shared economic
clouds. Smart mobile students are empowered to conceive of to rebirth a city
round sharing infrastructures from bikes to apartments to co-work spaces
located alongside university campuses. The more so in a nation determined to value 21st C women as holding up half the sky
Chinese Capitalism and healthy society
has been on a miraculous journey since 1976- just imagine if one fifth of the
world people were still locked out of world trade-likely whole of Asia would
now be failing. In 1975 there were no non-state companies. Then billionaire
diaspora inward investors were freed to start companies as were village
families using rice science to end famine. Up to the 2000s, China remained at
least 2G’s behind silicon valley then it caught up. In 2017 China celebrated 5
million youth startups. This was accelerated by every university city planning
an avenue of AI entrepreneurs something first tested around Beijing’s and the
world’s most curious universities Tsinghua , Peking, Renmin and Beijing normal.
Kai-Fu was there to advise this most extraordinary transformation of a somewhat
sleepy but most prestigious university suburb into wave upon wave of
entrepreneurial youth dreams for serving china. The great thing about Place AI
is you don’t need to politically theorise about it, just go visit it.
Millennial friendships are a win-win currency
