Early 2024 stacked U.S. AI “king hits”: Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video, and a forthcoming more socially aware ChatGPT-5. Generative AI is landing across transport, housing, food, and daily life — a new AGI scramble. That speed also fuels debate: is this only a giants’ game, or can next-gen AI startups co-build? Do Sora/Gemini rewrite startup and investment logic? Where should China’s AI go next?
At the 2024 Two Sessions, Premier Li Qiang’s government work report called for deeper big-data and AI R&D/application, an “AI+” action, and internationally competitive digital industry clusters.
Unique Research 2023 Global AIGC Industry Annual: China AI financing ¥19.18B — only ~10% of global AIGC financing ¥190.2B, and less than one-third of OpenAI’s alone (¥70.58B). China has the conditions; the ceiling is still high — and the U.S. remains the best field trip.
Hence Unique’s China–U.S. AI study camp: Seattle–Silicon Valley, May 12–20, 2024.
