Huawei’s chairman says Chinese AI can’t yet see the risks it should fear

Huawei's chairman Eric Xu stated that Chinese AI developers have not yet encountered the safety risks seen by US labs due to less advanced computing power, urging faster development to better perceive these dangers. This view aligns with external experts who note that US labs face more frontier AI challenges and have a stronger culture of assessing societal impacts. The remarks come amid calls from US AI leaders and European officials for a slowdown in AI progress due to emerging risks.
