Google's Porat on the US-China AI Race

[@dfv671]

Hasn't she heard of DeepSeek? China is way ahead in models.

[@SkyNhett]

The memo is probably sitting in her inbox.

[@KennethGiuffre-i5n]

Deepseek is trash.

[@_Safety_Third_]

For real. Only simpletons pay shekels to Sam Altman.

[@Dom-zy1qy]

DeepSeek R1 is not "way ahead", it's way cheaper but roughly equivalent to O1. That's not too concerning since o1 was likely used to generate synthetic data (they prob would have said this in their paper). Cost effectiveness is not what we should be worrying about in the short term. The real winner is the one with the most capable model, and as it stands, o1 is probably slightly better in general.

Another win for China

[@sneakymove]

China's DeepSeek R1 is on par with 01 now, she clearly not informed.

US no.1

[@motherlandbot6837]

@sneakymove She's from Google. That means she has her own agenda, like the single sentence commenters here supporting her biases. She's not uninformed.

Deepseek AI is advanced

[@cacogenicist]

Not impressed with the guy asking questions. He seems to be way out of his depth. Just some random business schmuck without any technical interest. And an actual conversation about the China-US AI race would have been a lot more interesting -- which probably would have been best with an engineer and not a CIO.

[@stevejenisch9153]

He works for Michael Bloomberg…

[@robertwang7825]

Well if you look back in the last 30 years , the Chinese did not invent many things like EVs, drones, robodogs, high speed trains, subways ,mobiles, many electronics, GPS, 6G, stealth, hypersonic ICBMs, etc. But they have taken it to the next level and the adoption is vast due to their manufacturing might , tooling engineering, mass production expertise etc. They are bigger than the next 8 combined for a reason. They adopt , refine, improve , bring to mkt way faster than anyone else. Just look at their EV development time is less than 1/2 of Western automakers and the software in their EVs is way superior than ICE automakers. That tells you a lot.

[@LeeWoods]

Really impressed with Ruth's answers. Often you catch these videos of really high profile executives who do not seem very knowledgeable of their own products; I say this as someone that follows a lot of Google Blogs and all the news coming out of Google. I'm also happy that during her time as CFO she did not kill the Pixel phone program, I used Fine phones since the Galaxy Nexus. The one product she could have given a little more time is Google Stadia. The technology was great, I think what hurt them with the hardcore gamers was the pricing model.

Look at the ridiculous boots on this overpaid goober 🤣

[@ar-futurist]

Marc Porat from General Magic is my hero!

[@KsazDFW]

The interviewer seems is so obviously fishing for some sort of condemnation of Musk from Ruth... and she’s not falling for it. Typical media.

[@rolestream]

He condemned himself with his nazi BS.

[@sagittariusann1220]

Just one year-plus ahead? I thought she was going to say the US was 10 years ahead

[@Craig-EWI]

This interviewer needs a different career path. CIO Porat is so knowledgeable. A good interviewer could have gleaned so much more.

[@briancase6180]

Look. You could fix healthcare way easier than by deploying AI. Just outlaw for-profit healthcare. But that will never happen or be proposed at Davos, let's face it. But, it infuriates me when these rich people look at healthcare and act perplexed like "wow, it's so hard and so expensive." It doesn't need to be.

[@rolestream]

If Open AI invents a cure for cancer, that's just one more thing for Insurance Companies to deny you.

[@DavidPat]

Google the predictions from 5 years ago . China is always the boogie man but theres more than a trillion dollars of AI value that has grown in the US in that time...

[@rolestream]

And now its not worth a damn lol

[@KsazDFW]

The interviewer seems to be fishing for some sort of condemnation of Musk here…. Typical media.

[@breaktherules6035]

such awful questions...the journalist tries to picture Trump as the absolute evil and asks stupid questions. no real interest in AI...

[@rwgamer]

Those boots don't match what's upstairs.

[@troophq]

As an IT professional for 30+ years I have real concerns around the lack of controls governments are placing around the development and use of AI. This needs to be a concerted effort at a whole of country level the benefits and negatives noted and investigated in depth and the appropriate safety measure put in place.

[@_Safety_Third_]

As an IT professional for 3 years I can clearly see we are in a race to the bottom where the winner is whoever poisons their population and replaces them with robots first. You wouldn't want to lose to China in a race like that, would you?

[@Dom-zy1qy]

That's how you lose an arms race. It would take years for the geezers in the senate to grasp what AI is/how it works. But this isn't a typical arms race, this is the first one that has the potential to benefit everyday civilians.

[@MalvinderKaur-e7x]

Google is nice and i always have said that because they have certain way of doing things and have assembled certain very very good points like knowledge information GPS you tube of course they were given plenty of resources means monies to do that they did it very well that is what i mean when given resources it is used well. not all "Gadhe' do that.i like the way they painstakingly carry on gathering information and that is needed for lot of new programs to be made which are good for human beings complete make over of certain new things.

[@johannsteinberg6218]

So far AI no deliver

[@alexandermoody1946]

The assumption that Elon Musk is good for Mars is a slightly controversial statement. Is Mars good for Elon Musk? Perhaps more so and is Mars the price that is being paid for Elon Musk's aid in the election of the United states president? This would be a treaty violation of space as heritage for all mankind. Although more than that common heritage for all is more aptly appropriate. Should Elon Musk become Martian overlord is that something that places great risk towards the people of Earth and any wider possibilities for orbital habitats that are far more suitable for galatic colonisation and industrial progress than terraforming at a planetary scale which is unlikely to be a quick processes resulting in Mars becoming and industrial intergalactic superpower for production. This is would be contary to good guidance to be wisely implemented for a positive future. Whilst we require projects for a future of any economic value but we must be wise to what we build. I genuinely see Google as a tech company that cares at least about their employees.
