A.I. and semiconductors 'arms race': how does China REALLY stack up?

A.I. and semiconductors 'arms race': how does China REALLY stack up?

How U.S. and Chinese regulations, access to specific hardware technology, and emerging open-source paradigms will effect the winners and losers in the global A.I. and semiconductor 'arms race'

November 2, 2023 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. ET

  • State of global AI and semiconductor affairs

    Where/what is the cutting edge of AI and semiconductors globally?
    What does the cutting edge of semiconductors enable that is not achievable with currently available semi tech?
  • China's relative positioning

    Where is China in relation to the cutting edge? Leading, trailing, in the midst?
    Will China's national "walled garden" ecosystem hurt its global competitiveness?
  • Government policy head/tailwinds

    How is Chinese government policy affecting the situation?
    How is US government policy affecting the situation?
    What is the net impact of government policy (from any country) on technologies like semiconductors and AI?
    Can AI in particular be regulated at all?
  • Semiconductor deep dive

    Why are new semiconductor innovations so important? Why not just scale with current tech?
    Does bleeding edge semi tech actually affect military / government / defense, which have decades-long dev cycles and typically rely on older, more-hardened tech?
    How will open source paradigms, especially RISC-V, change the tech landscape?
    How (and when) will quantum computing or other paradigm shifts affect the global balance of compute power?
    What are China's real chances of closing the tech gap on semi tech?
