China’s masses of data give it an edge in AI—but they may not forever

MIT Technology Review  March 5, 2019
How can the US outcompete China when the latter has far more people and the former cares more about data privacy? Is it, in other words, just a lost cause for the US to try to “win”? According to the President of MIT, state of the art changes with research. In other words, data may not always be king. Given that our brains themselves do not require a lot of data to learn, the better we come to understand its processes, the more closely we will be able to mimic it in new types of algorithms. Researchers at MIT have been developing probabilistic learning models, inspired by the way children quickly generalize their knowledge from exposure to just a few examples…read more.
