I do find that we need interventions to promote responsible use that doesn't involve outsourcing. Use should be prohibited where there is no way to use responsibly

I wonder if this still holds against the SOTA models

The U.S. and China Are Pursuing Different AI Futures
It’s not an arms race if each country wants different things

China’s AI Plus initiative encourages using AI to boost efficiency. “Having a frontier technology doesn’t really move China towards an innovation-led developed economy,” says Kristy Loke, a fellow at MATS Research who focuses on China’s AI innovation and governance strategies. Instead, she says, “It’s really important to make sure that [these tools] are able to meet the demands of the Chinese economy, which are to industrialize faster, to do more smart manufacturing, to make sure they’re producing things in competitive processes.”

Automakers have embraced intelligent robots in “dark factories” with minimal human intervention; as of 2024, China had around five times as many factory robots in use than the United States. “We used to use human eyes for quality control and it was very inefficient,” says Liang. Now, computer-vision systems detect errors and software predicts equipment failures, pausing production and scheduling just-in-time maintenance. Agricultural models advise farmers on crop selection, planting schedules, and pest control.

In health care, AI tools triage patients, interpret medical images, and assist diagnoses; Tsinghua is even piloting an AI “Agent Hospital” where physicians work alongside virtual clinical assistants. “In hospitals you used to have to wait a long time, but now you can use your agent to make a precise appointment,” Liang says. Many such applications use simpler “narrow AI” designed for specific tasks.
