''' BEAUTIFUL THINGS

 BEWILDER '''

!WOW! SEES A.I. GENERATING ' BEAUTIFUL LIVES '. And so does China. Policy Makers and citizens are optimistic about tech, very much in contrast to the West's angst.

WHEN the A.I. video generation tool Seedance 2.0 debuted last month, with the ability to create impressively realistic clips of just about anything a user could imagine, it prompted two drastically different reactions on opposite sides of the world.

In the United States, many in the movie industry responded with fear. After a Seedance-generated video purporting to show a fight scene between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise spread widely online, Hollywood filmmakers and writers said their jobs were fast becoming obsolete.

But in China, many reacted with pride and excitement. Stocks in short-video companies surged. One of China's most famous directors, Jia Zhangke, shared a short film that he made using Seedance, in which his real self and an A.I. version discussed moviemaking.

'' I'm not worried about technology replacing movies. From the very beginning movies have coexisted with new technology,'' Mr. Jin wrote on social media. 

''What really matters is how people use technology.''

The contrasting reactions point to a broader split between China and much of the West on A.I. ; Chinese people appear to be much more optimistic.

People in China are among the most excited in the world about A.I. according to a KPMG survey of 47 countries last year.

While 69 percent of people in China said the technology benefits outweighed its risks, only 35 percent of Americans agreed. Other polls have shown similar disparities.

The question is why? The answer may be related to how the technology has been deployed in each country, as well as how the government and industry leaders have talked about it.

!WOW! AND A.I. IS SEEMINGLY EVERYWHERE : Driverless taxis roam more than a dozen Chinese cities and service robots putter through hotels and restaurants.

Chinese tech companies have rolled-out medical chatbots to help users avoid long lines at hospitals. They've embedded A.I. assistants throughout popular apps, so users can ask A.I. in their mapping apps to help them decide where to eat, or in their shopping apps to help them choose between pairs of shoes.

That's because Chinese tech companies have focused intensely on real world applications for A.I.

By contrast, many leading American tech companies have been focused on more abstract goals, like developing the most cutting edge model, or achieving artificial general intelligence.

In addition, most of China's leading A.I. models are free to use, unlike in the United States, where users have to pay for chatbots like ChatGPT to access all their features.

As a result, Chinese consumers are feeling the benefits of A.I., said Bai Guo, a professor who studies the digital economy at China Europe International Business School in Shanghai.

'' A lot of things can already be helped by A.I. and people find that interesting, that's useful, and so there are quite a lot of positive and active feelings toward it,'' Professor Bai said.

BEIJING Champions A.I. : The focus on A.I. applications is a product of China's hypercompetitive internet economy.

Leading companies like Alibaba, ByteDance and the food delivery giant Meituan, are locked in a perpetual battle for users, and A.I. is the very latest tool.

The Chinese government has also encouraged this approach. China's leader, Xi Jinping, has said that the A.I. industry should '' prioritise practical application.''

Officials say that A.I. could help solve Chinese's thorniest problems, such as its ageing problems.

Similarly !WOW!'s A.I. applications would help solve Mankind's entire problems of Dignity, Respect, Honour, Peace and help lead to fulfilled and happy life.
