Top AI experts from Silicon Valley were stunned upon seeing China’s enormous head start across all segments of applied artificial intelligence. Of particular concern was China’s access to cheap electricity, which is simply not available in the United States, and very likely never coming. The experts conclude that the AI race is likely already over. In China, the power demand increases each year by the equivalent of an entire Germany’s worth of electricity consumption. But China’s energy supplies are growing much faster, and add two Germany’s worth of power annually. This abundance, which is typical of “overcapacity” of so many other critical building blocks of industry, is the result of a deliberate strategy, executed over decades: Chinese planners develop infrastructure far in advance of when it will be needed.
