[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=15) And at some point, they probably will have a lot of compute.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=19) So they will- ergo they will be the leaders?

[0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=24) There's a good chance that they are the leaders at some point.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=26) Um, you can think of like the, the constraints on AI essentially electricity and AI chips, um, and then for physical AI, the robots.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=37) Uh, China's also got some very good robot companies.

[0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=40) In fact, they have these like robot sporting events.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=42) I don't know if you've seen some of them.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=43) Yes, I have. I saw th- last time I was in Beijing, I saw the- Yeah ...the robots.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=46) Well, and then they have this sort of like a, like a boxing match or fighting match with, um, the robots, which is quite entertaining.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=51) And I s- I saw some video of a robot that got his head knocked off kept fighting even with its head knocked off. Uh, it looked pretty funny.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=56) But, um, I mean in fact, I think the, the robot battles are gonna be quite entertaining to watch.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=61) Um- But, but just to- So, so, so China's, China's very strong on robots, very strong on digital AI, and, and if you look at electricity production, you say like AI is a function of whatever-- what-whatever the limiting factor is,

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=72) if it's chips or electricity. China has far more electricity than the United States.

[1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1VDLey3ZNgk7/en/could-china-lead-in-ai-and-robotics?t=76) In fact, China has more electricity than the United States, Europe, and India combined already, um, and is heading to -- um, my guess is trying to g-gets to four times the electricity production of the US, which is roughly proportionate to the population
