During the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), we flew to Shanghai to interview Robin Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu.
We had an in-depth discussion on AI topics that are currently of great concern to the market. What I find very interesting is that the approach to generative AI in the Chinese market is completely different from that overseas.
In Silicon Valley, while big players are still competing on capabilities of multimodal LLMs, startups emphasizing infrastructure, and the market waiting for GPT-5 to validate the Scaling Law. In the Chinese market, however,
