This report is a great rundown of where the Chinese AI-powered robotics industry is, and a reminder that China hasn't put all of its "future of AI" eggs into the LLM basket, as the U.S. basically has.
⭐️New Report⭐️
China is embracing “embodied AI”—artificial intelligence integrated with physical agents, such as robots and drones—both for commercial reasons and as a path to artificial general intelligence (AGI).

There's a lot of good stuff in these Chinese 5-year plan spinoffs. But what's most interesting, I think, is what's not in there. Relative to the 5-year plans of yesteryear, there's very little about the need for China to acquire foreign technology. China's not playing catch-up so much anymore.
✨ New Translation Snapshot ✨
As the sun sets on China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), the question arises: Where is Chinese tech policy going in 2026?
CSET’s translations of several 14th Five-Year Plan spinoff and follow-up plans provide clues: cset.georgetown.edu/publication/...

Xi Jinping urged China to achieve superiority in AI, and to use AI to turbocharge China's scientific research across the board, in a rare AI-themed Politburo study session last Friday. My translation of it for @csetgeorgetown.bsky.social is here: cset.georgetown.edu/publication/...

Chinese AI luminary Song-Chun Zhu, writing over two weeks ago, sounds like a prophet in cset.georgetown.edu/publication/... , rejecting the U.S. "big data + big compute + large models" approach to LLMs in favor of "algorithmic innovation."

Ever wonder how to say "gate-all-around field-effect transistor" in Chinese? Who hasn't? (全包围栅极晶体管, of course!) My Chinese technical glossary is now live on CSET's emergingtechobs.bsky.social, and there are 16,000+ more translations of technical and specialized Chinese terms there to enjoy.

I signed up for Bluesky today! Did I choose the username "murphyben" because "benmurphy" was already taken? No! Quite the opposite. In deference to Chinese tradition, I'm listing my surname first, to honor my ancestors 🤥
