“"More than two years ago, I proposed that, the capabilities demonstrated by today's AI models have not yet fully utilized the computing power that we already possess. In other words, given the level of computing power we currently have, models could have performed better," Wang said.”

“Wang noted that if we compare computing power with electricity supply, and given the current scale of computing power we have, China's existing electricity supply is in fact quite sufficient. "In other words, at the current level of computing power, electricity is not an urgent bottleneck," he said.”

“"For example, China has made very substantial investments in power infrastructure. Of course, computing power still involves issues such as chips, but overall the country attaches great importance to these areas," Wang said, noting that as long as we do not expect all problems to be solved at once today, and instead view them from a developmental perspective, we are still in a process of continuously solving problems and steadily moving forward.”

“"I can now say that when it comes to AI, both China and the US are essentially looking at the same 'ocean.' In the past, what I worried about was that they might be looking at an ocean while we were only looking at a swimming pool. Now that we are seeing the same ocean, what really matters next is who can run faster," Wang said.”

“"One could say that each side may have certain advantages in specific areas, but such advantages do not amount to comprehensive or overall superiority. At this stage, interaction between the two sides has therefore become very important," he said.”

“More importantly, the pace of development in this field may far exceed what we can imagine today. This domain is extremely dynamic, Wang said, adding that people must recognize that AI is a profoundly transformative technology.”

“"A transformative technology means that its development process is inherently highly dynamic and constantly evolving. Once a particular path becomes fully fixed and conclusions appear settled, it may actually indicate that the opportunities are already limited. Precisely because the field is still changing so rapidly, it means there remains enormous space for innovation and many possibilities lie ahead."”
