AI’s Hidden Backbone: How America’s Infrastructure Will Make or Break Its Tech Leadership
The U.S. is racing to lead in artificial intelligence, but winning this contest won’t be decided by breakthrough algorithms alone. Behind every cutting-edge AI model lies a less glamorous but critical reality: the physical infrastructure that powers, connects, and enables it. Training a single advanced AI model can devour as much electricity as 130 households use in a year. Running these models in real time demands constant high-speed connectivity and edge computing muscle. To lead in AI, America must first strengthen the foundations—its power grids, data centers, and broadband networks—that make this technology possible. This isn’t just about building new infrastructure; it’s about reimagining how we plan, upgrade, and coordinate […]
China’s Smart Revolution: Sharing the “Intelligence Dividend” for Global Prosperity
CHONGQING, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) — At the 2025 World Smart Industry Expo in southwest China’s Chongqing, a visitor slips into a smart car, speaks a simple command, and in seconds, the air conditioning adjusts, seat massagers activate, and soft music fills the cabin. Miles away, a connected smart home responds in sync: the thermostat sets to a cozy temperature, and curtains glide shut. This seamless interplay of intelligence in daily life is more than a glimpse of China’s tech evolution—it’s a window into how the nation is turning its smart industry boom into a shared global “intelligence dividend.” A Booming Ecosystem, Rooted in Growth China’s smart industry isn’t […]
Precision Redefined in Surface Finishing
In industries ranging from electronics and automotive to packaging and medical devices, applying protective films, adhesive layers, or decorative coatings with consistent precision is critical to product quality and performance. Traditional film application methods—whether manual or semi-automated—often struggle with alignment errors, air bubble formation, or uneven adhesion, especially when dealing with complex shapes, micro-sized components, or high-volume production. Enter the Robot Vision Positioning Automatic Film Applicator Machine—a cutting-edge solution that marries robotic precision with advanced vision systems to revolutionize how films are applied in modern manufacturing. The Limitations of Traditional Film Application Film application may seem straightforward, but achieving flawless results consistently is far from simple. Traditional approaches […]
Unitree’s Wang Xingxing on Robotics: Prioritizing Model Architecture Over Data Volume Amid Industry Growth
On September 11, media reports stated that Wang Xingxing, founder and CEO of Unitree, responded at the opening ceremony of the Bund Conference to the previous view that “the core constraint on the explosion of the robotics industry is not insufficient data, but outdated model architecture.” Wang Xingxing pointed out that both data and models are important for the development of AI and embodied intelligence. When he previously mentioned that the biggest challenge for embodied intelligence is not data, his intention was to highlight that there is still ambiguity in how to collect truly high-quality data, what standards it should meet, and on what scale—he believes that improving data […]
Human Superpowers Redefined: Thriving Alongside AI in Public Service
Artificial intelligence (AI) has surged into public life as a transformative force, equipping governments worldwide with algorithmic systems to enhance services, optimize decisions, and anticipate societal needs. In effect, AI grants institutions—and their leaders—a kind of technological “superpower”: the ability to process vast datasets in seconds, automate complex tasks, predict citizen behavior, and detect patterns invisible to the human eye. These capabilities prove invaluable amid uncertainty and institutional strain. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, governments used AI models to trace transmission chains, allocate healthcare resources, and anticipate outbreaks—showcasing machine learning’s practical potential in life-critical contexts. Beyond health, AI flags procurement irregularities, predicts infrastructure failures, and personalizes public services, […]
Trustworthy AI: The Critical Foundation for Modern Power Plant Resilience
The Strain on America’s Power Grid: A Call for Smarter Solutions America’s power producers are under mounting pressure to deliver more with less. A rapidly evolving grid, surging energy demand, aging infrastructure, and shifting policy landscapes have created a system where traditional approaches to ensuring reliability are no longer sufficient. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) recently released its 2025 RISC report, spotlighting the top risks facing the U.S. power sector. It warns that outdated planning assumptions, interconnected infrastructure vulnerabilities, and increasingly erratic weather patterns are pushing the grid beyond its designed capacity. This challenge comes at a moment when former President Trump has underscored the […]
Defining AI Risks: The Hidden Battleground of Global Competition
The Paradox Amid Consensus: From Risk Warnings to the Norm of Competition Risk dominates current discussions on artificial intelligence governance. This July, Geoffrey Hinton, a dual laureate of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and the Turing Award, delivered a speech at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. The title remained the one he has repeatedly used since leaving Google in 2023: “Will Digital Intelligence Replace Biological Intelligence?” He emphasized once again that artificial intelligence may soon surpass humanity and threaten our survival. Scientists and policymakers from China, the United States, European countries, and beyond nodded in grave agreement. However, beneath this superficial consensus lies a […]
