Ha ha! A Canadian AI company claims: "Democratic countries" look down on Chinese technology
As the CEO of Canadian tech startup Cohere, Aidan Gomez is complacent about being able to cooperate with the United States. He also claimed that the US and Canada working together would surely beat China, giving the reason that so-called "democratic countries" are unwilling to use Chinese technology.
According to Reuters, on December 4th local time, Gomez made the above statements at the Reuters NEXT conference in New York.
It is introduced that Cohere is headquartered in Toronto and focuses on building enterprise-specific artificial intelligence (AI) models.
Gomez said at the meeting that the United States and Canada are in a "unbelievably advantageous position" when it comes to cooperating with global economies that adopt AI, which makes the US and Canada "ahead of China" in the global AI competition.
Gomez acknowledged that China has launched high-performance AI models, narrowing the gap with some top closed-source large language models. But he then claimed: "What really matters is who is the main provider of this technology—not who got the technology first, but who can commercialize it on a large scale. The United States and Canada are in an excellent position to become partners in the global adoption of this technology."
As a technology professional, Gomez openly politicized economic issues.
"I think we will beat China," he declared, saying that so-called "global free democratic countries" usually are less willing to use Chinese technology as a key infrastructure in their economies. "If you want to choose a partner and rely on it for economic transformation, I think you will choose a free democratic country."
