Sydney – The mega-hype surrounding artificial intelligence includes geopolitical, social, economic and many other factors. It’s starting to look, however, like artificial intelligence will spring more than a few unexpected surprises on the world, and soon.

SwissCognitiveThe big deal at the moment is who will lead in development of artificial intelligence. A very savvy and very well considered article by Daniel Araya (PhD) in Forbes magazine clearly explains the many players and issues in the current artificial intelligence race. Araya defines the Chinese/United States/corporate/”techno-nationalism” issues, and compares China’s hard-nosed command economy drivers in artificial intelligence to the downright vapid, fragmented American approach.

Artificial intelligence will effectively destroy this economic model, and good riddance. The question is what is going to replace it, and the answer to that question is well and truly up in the air at the moment.
