When a Go Champion's Tears Changed Everything
What happens when the world's greatest Go player realizes he's no match for a machine? In May 2017, nineteen-year-old Ke Jie sat across from Google's AlphaGo, watching his centuries-old game being dismantled by silicon and code. As tears streamed down his face, something shifted-not just in the match, but in an entire nation's technological consciousness. Within months, China announced its audacious plan to dominate global AI by 2030, unleashing a wave of investment and innovation that would reshape the global technology landscape. This wasn't just another tech competition. It was a fundamental reimagining of what artificial intelligence could become when married to China's unique ecosystem of relentless entrepreneurs, massive data reserves, and government ambition. The question isn't whether AI will transform our world-it's whether we're ready for what comes next.
