Indeed, as the US-Sino AI competition begins to heat up, Lee urges the US and China to both accept and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost experts already say that AI will have a devastating impact on blue-collar jobs. But in this analysis of the coming AI revolution, Lee predicts that Chinese and American AI will have a strong impact on white-collar jobs as well, leading to widespread job displacement. Is universal basic income the solution? In Lee’s opinion, probably not. But he provides a clear description of which jobs will be affected and how soon, which jobs can be enhanced with AI, and most importantly, how we can provide solutions to some of the most profound changes defining the new world order.\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAI Superpowers\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Lee provides a clear-eyed look at the new world order, revealing: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Four Waves of AI:\u003c\/b\u003e An essential framework for understanding how Internet, Business, Perception, and Autonomous AI will transform our world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChina vs. Silicon Valley:\u003c\/b\u003e An insider’s look at why China’s tenacious entrepreneurs and massive data troves give it a powerful edge in the age of implementation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Real AI Crisis:\u003c\/b\u003e A sobering analysis of how AI will create widespread job displacement for both blue-collar and white-collar workers, fueling global and domestic inequality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Blueprint for Coexistence:\u003c\/b\u003e A hopeful vision for a future where we leverage AI-generated wealth to embrace our shared humanity, compassion, and creativity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e | \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/em\u003e Bestseller!  Featured on CBS \u003cem\u003e60 Minutes\u003c\/em\u003e  Kai-Fu Lee named a Wired Icon, as part of Wired Magazine's 25th Anniversary Feature  Publishers Weekly Fall 2018 Top 10 in Business \u0026amp; Economics  Featured in the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWired\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/em\u003e,\u003cem\u003e Bloomberg Businessweek\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBusiness Insider\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eForbes\u003c\/em\u003e, and more.\u003c\/strong\u003e   \"After thirty years of pioneering work in artificial intelligence at Google China, Microsoft, Apple and other companies, Lee says he’s figured out the blueprint for humans to thrive in the coming decade of massive technological disruption: 'Let us choose to let machines be machines, and let humans be humans.'\"—\u003cstrong\u003eForbes\u003c\/strong\u003e   \"Provocative.\"—\u003cstrong\u003eFortune\u003c\/strong\u003e   \"Kai-Fu Lee believes China will be the next tech-innovation superpower and in his new (and first) book, AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order, he explains why.
