When Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, unveiled the company’s Superintelligence Lab in June, he named 11 artificial intelligence researchers who were joining his ambitious effort to build a machine more powerful than the human brain.

All 11 were immigrants educated in other countries. Seven were born in China, according to a memo viewed by The New York Times.

Although many American executives, government officials and pundits have spent months painting China as the enemy of America’s rapid push into A.I., much of the groundbreaking research emerging from the United States is driven by Chinese talent.

And not just in AI.In the sciences in general, Immigrants way outperform native born Americans. Without them, where would America's lead in innovation be? 

Good thing the immigration service is doing to foreigners what DEI did to certain minorities. 

Chinese will have to come to the US, because China will fail at AI. Quite simply, the CCP puts extensive guardrails on what AI can both learn and then discuss. An AI that is not free to tell you what you don't want to hear is useless. There are guardrails in the US as well, but not nearly as restrictive as those in China. And some US AI is much less censorious than others, while all China AI will essentially be Lysenko 2.0.

Thanks for pointing out this issue. For an opposite take on the issue, here something from AFR.com, the Australian financial review.

While Western tech giants struggle with AI safety, China’s top-down, censorial approach might be creating more trustworthy systems for business use.

USA will always be playing 'catch up' to CN ... and never succeed.   Way behind to even get close.
