42:15Now PlayingIn the US, AI is met with dread. Americans fear it will take their jobs, destroy the environment, and deepen inequality. Why is it in China then that people are much more optimistic about this technology?
On this week’s China Report, Shanghai-based writer and content creator Dante Muñoz joins Amanda Yee to break down the fundamentally different approaches to AI development and regulation between the two countries.
