A really interesting primer on AI and how its utilization is the new electricity, predicting a disruptive shift in our daily lives sooner than we think.
Kai-Fu compares the Western and Eastern cultures where a distinct difference can be seen in the internet and technology ecosystems. In the West, there is typically one standalone application for products or services. Compared to China however, has more of a gigantic centralised super-application ecosystem that you can do everything in, pay for food, book medical appointments, book ride-sharing, etc all in WeChat.
Because of this centralised integration, China has quickly dominated the forefront of online to offline applications services that focus on convenience, where one hour shopping delivery orders, QR codes and mobile payments are the norm, blurring the lines between digital and reality. The perception of AI use is also more easily adopted in the East due to this blur, where AI is already integrated into certain aspects of their daily lives such as in the supermarkets but the West isn't too far behind.
