A.I. : 

''' LORDS OF LOOPS '''

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS FOR THIS VERY PRESENT. Just as this master technology, Artificial Intelligence, is for the long, cascading future. 

CHINA UNVEILS A.I. TECH THAT RIVALS U.S. SYSTEMS. BEIJING is catching up, with open-source projects accelerating the progress.

At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai this month, the start-up founder Ou Dongqi showed off a video he had recently posted online. It displayed an old photograph of a woman with two toddlers.

Then the photo sprang to life as the woman lifted toddlers up in her arms and they laughed with surprise.

The video was created by A.I. technology from the Chinese internet company Kuaishou. The technology was reminiscent of a video generator, called Sora, that the American start-up OpenAI unveiled this year. But unlike Sora, it was available to the general public.

'' My American friends still can't use Sora,'' Mr. Qu said. '' But we already have better solution here.''

WHILE the United States has had a head-start on A.I. development, China is catching up. 

In recent weeks, several Chinese companies have unveiled A.I. technologies that rival the leading American systems. And these technologies are already in the hands of consumers, businesses and independent software developers across the globe.

While many American companies are worried that A.I. technologies could accelerate the spread of disinformation or cause other serious harm, Chinese companies are more willing to release their technologies to consumers or even share the underlying software code with other businesses and software developers.

This kind of sharing of computer code, called open-source, allows others to more quickly build and distribute their own products, using the same technologies.

Open source has been a cornerstone of the development of computer software, the internet, and, now artificial intelligence. The idea is that technology advances faster when the computer code is freely available for anyone to examine, use and improve upon.

China's efforts could have enormous implications, as A.I. technology continues to develop in the years to come. The technology could increase the productivity of workers, fuel future innovations and power a new wave of military technologies, including autonomous weapons.

When OpenAI kicked off the A.I. boom in late 2022 with the release of the online chatbot ChatGPT, China struggled to compete with technologies emerging from American companies like OpenAI and Google.

[ The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, claiming copyright infringement of news content related to A.I. systems.] But China's progress is accelerating.

Kuaishou released its video generator, Kling, in China more than a month ago, and to users worldwide last Wednesday.

Just before Kling's arrival, 01. AI, a start-up co-founded by Kai-Fu Lee, as investor and technologist who helped build Chinese offices for both Google and Microsoft, released technology that scored nearly as well as the leading American technologies on common benchmark tests that rate the performance of the world's chatbots. 

NEW technology from the Chinese tech giant Alibaba has also leaped to top of the leaderboard that rates open-source A.I. systems. '' We have disproved the commonplace belief that China doesn't have the talent or the technology to compete with the U.S.,'' Dr. Lee said.

'' That belief is simply wrong.''
