AI has become a major topic at the UN General Assembly after incidents of the technology falling out of the control of humans and warnings by company insiders drew global alarm and calls for better government supervision of the industry.
Speaking to the assembly, Trump stood by his firm opposition to regulating AI, while arguing the word "artificial" undersold the technology and voicing hope the rest of the world would adopt the new term. CNA
Where is the call for wanting to constrain the growth of AI coming from? Who is spreading fear of AI? Like all new technology, there will be doomsayers calling for its ban or restriction. AI is the natural progression of human civilisation towards more knowledge, information and understanding of everything in life. No one is disputing the power of AI and Trump is not wrong to want to rename it super intelligence. He may even want to call it Trump Intelligence if he could think of it.
Is the fear of AI valid? Why opposing AI or fearing the spread of AI when it is a good thing? The Americans have called on the banning of many new technologies, from 5G, EVs, solar panels, mobile phone technologies, drones, CCTV and face recognition...for reasons best known to themselves. Missuse, abuse, AI being used as a weapon for espionage and destruction, with Anthropic even suggesting AI will end civilisation. CCTV and face recognition are the best and most effective weapons against crimes, terrorists, mischiefs, saboteurs, trouble makers, and you know who.
Now the world is parroting the call to stop the growth of AI. What a joke. The threat and fear of AI are the evil people with unfriendly and hostile intent in the use of AI, not AI per se. The call to limit or slow the growth of AI by the jokers called world leaders is the same as their calls for the ban of nuclear weapons. It will end up with the little guys being handcuffed and not allowed to maximise the use of AIs while the rogues will continue to develop them to the fullest extend to be used against countries and individuals.
Iran is going to be annihilated by the savages with the most deadly nuclear weapons using the excuse that Iran is going to have nuclear weapons one day. What a silly crap argument. And the rogues and savages using this argument will continue to develop and build more and more deadly nuclear weapons. This will also be the case for AI if the rogues and savages have their way. Only they are allowed to have the best AIs while the rest of the world will be constrained, limited and may even be banned from using AI. They may even make it a crime for the small and weak countries to use AI and deprive them from the technology. Remember the fearmongering about aliens on the moon to frighten people from going to the moon?
The push to ban 5G, EVs, CCTV/facial recognition etc etc is a lie being pushed by the Americans to stop countries using these technologies as the Americans' evil intent to deploy these technologies against civilisation will be compromised and made difficult. Facial recognition will mean all American spies, CIA operators will not be able to function freely in other countries, all the evil men and criminals would be easily identified and arrested...no where to hide.
The Americans would want to curb the advancement and spread of AI to prevent others from getting the full benefits of AI. They will want to monopolise AI and the use of AI to control the world, to threaten the rest of the world, to blackmail the world, just like their multi billion dollar data centres and chip technologies.
AI should go the way of Open AI models, freely available to all and sundry. The abusers and criminals that are exploiting AI are the real problems to be tackled. Stop undermining the young and deprive them of AI technology and stopping their growth and development in acquiring technologies and information in the new world. Why tie the hands of the innocent users but to enable the rogues and criminals a free hand at AI? Why stop countries like Iran to have nuclear weapons when rogue America is having all the nuclear weapons to threaten to wipe out Iran?
PS. When everyone has AI, like nuclear weapons, no one has to fear the Americans or those who have. Everyone will be able to hack into American systems, not only the Americans hacking into other countries' systems. Both can play the game on a level playing field.

I came across this Youtube video on the site 'Statrys' titled 'Now it's the West copying China (but they'll never admit it). A very insightful view of the changing world. Some of the stuff that the West are starting to do, China has been doing that for years. The only mantra we have been hearing is that China is stealing ideas, which the propaganda machine has been so successful in doing for decades.
Aside from the propaganda, China not only is dominating in areas like EVs, solar panels, wind turbines, shipbuilding and high-speed railway systems, there are areas less well known, but which China is already killing the competition, quietly, discreetly and as always without the shouting.
The diamond industry, dominated by the West is already taken apart by the artificial diamond industry of China. Even the experts could not differentiate the quality of artificial diamonds compared to the real stuff controlled by British De Beers all over the decades. This company had been able to keep diamond prices artificially high by controlling global diamond output using its monopolistic position. India faces the same problem with its import and export of diamond industry crippled by falling demand. Now, the shit has hit the fan. The touting of 'Diamonds are Forever' is no longer holding true, with China's cut-throat prices competing on the global market.
Diamonds are not just to cater to the jewelry market. One important sector, the semiconductor industry, needed diamonds for its unique qualities. This is going to be another industry that China could weaponize in years to come.
An even less known industry that the Chinese have taken apart is the roe of the sturgeon fish, a very expensive delicacy of the Norwegian Caviar industry which is facing stiff competition from China. China had been breeding this fish for decades and is now harvesting its roe to compete on the global caviar market.
China is also already making substantial progress in the food production sector, being now the biggest producer of farmed seafood, reclaiming desert lands now providing more space for agriculture, growing a rice specie in salt water. Food is a national security issue, together with energy, for China's survival. And China is not letting these be left behind while concentrating on its manufacturing domination.
There are so many other sectors that China is innovating with ideas that could kill the global competition. This is the overcapacity that the USA and the West fears.
