Foreign media: Former OpenAI executive Zack Kass points out that Chinese companies' AI applications lag behind those in the United States primarily due to rigid corporate cultures and hierarchical systems, despite Chinese consumers’ much higher acceptance of technology compared to their American counterparts.
Kass says China has "technology-oriented consumers," while the U.S. is "technology-oriented enterprises." This difference explains why AI products like OpenClaw have triggered a wave of installations in China (nearly a thousand people gathered at Tencent's headquarters last month seeking free installations, and paid installation services have even emerged on social platforms for hundreds of yuan), yet such large-scale phenomena are difficult to replicate in the United States.
He attributes the Chinese public’s positive attitude toward technology to the historical role of technology in helping lift the nation out of poverty and building a middle class, whereas the American public generally holds skepticism toward tech giants due to concerns over social media’s impact on children.
