Shantanu Goswami, SAP Vice President Customer Advisory spoke to CGTN Europe. He discussed China's significant role in AI development, holding 50-60% of AI patents due to a strong focus on STEM education and wholehearted government and corporate commitment. However, the China-US competition is overhyped as AI progress is more dependent on organizations than governments. Energy, particularly renewable and sustainable sources, will be a game-changer for AI development, and China has an edge in this area. Competition can drive innovation, but the right data, understanding of purpose, and necessary energy supply are crucial for successful AI implementation. Businesses should prioritize purpose and data acquisition for their AI strategy.
