The Ma/Musk AI debate in China showed two very different societal approaches to how to handle the impact of AI.
Ma’s approach is: everybody work less and enjoy the perks.
Musk’s is: learn AI or perish, and beware the consequences.
The two aren’t mutually exclusive, although the messages are different. I believe this because Musk’s assertion of an elite few living in tall spires and the masses living in relative poverty was overtly dismissed by Ma, but I felt that his facial expressions suggested that he was hiding his agreement of it.
