Assessment of the AI Gap Between China and the U.S.after the Sora Shockwave:Analysis Model and Trends of the"Halftime Advantage"in the New Wave of the Intelligence Revolution
With the explosive popularity of ChatGPT and Sora,the question of how large the AI gap between China and the U.S.truly is has become a focal point.This new wave of global intelligence is characterized by competition and conflict centered around the mainstreaming of AIGC(Artificial Intelligence Generated Content),following the classic innovation diffusion pattern.The AI rivalry between China and the U.S.continues the inertia of America's"first-half advantage"and China's"second-half advantage",with the point of equilibrium shifting earlier.Regardless of the battles over technology,products,applications,services,capital,and marketing,they all converge on one ultimate indicator——the contest for user scale.Chinese AI companies face three new challenges:excelling in global market competition,leveraging their foundational technologies,and harnessing the overall strength of the industry ecosystem from upstream to downstream.The AI rivalry between China and the U.S.in the 2020s is expected to unfold in three phases from the passive position in the first and second stages,to catching up and contention in the third stage three years later,and gradually reversing in the fourth stage in the 2030s.As the technological strengths of China and the U.S.shift and the characteristics of core user groups evolve,China's inherent advantages and strengths will be key to our success in catching up.With China's increased strength in the early stages,to overcome the"first-half trap"and win this AI competition,it is crucial to have a long-term perspective,recognize the realities,and avoid overly pessimistic or overly optimistic extremes.We should quickly address our shortcomings and weaknesses while further enhancing our strengths.Improving our ability to attack from both ends and shortening the catch-up time are essential.The full lifecycle and comprehensive competition between China and the U.S.is an inevitable trend,driven by technological development and social progress.
