The Benefits of a Trade War

AI Business Podcast - Een podcast door AI Business

'The world seems crazy right now, but don’t worry, it’s always been crazy'. This week, Max Smolaks and Tien Fu take look at the ongoing tech war between the US and China. Having run out of Chinese goods to tax, the Trump administration is going after individual AI companies, while increasing domestic funding for scientific research. Meanwhile, Chinese cloud juggernauts are investing billions in new infrastructure projects, with full support of the state. We also discuss MSN replacing humans with algorithms, problems with online advertising, mountains of money being spent on self-driving cars, the misadventures of Pepper the robot, and of course, the current situation in the US. It also transpires that none of us like working in a WeWork – the main points of contention are dogs and beer.
