When I was 12, I read my first science fiction book, "I'm a Robot" by Isaac Asimov and have since been drawn to this genre.
Years later, when I watched the movie "Special Report", I realized the true meaning of artificial intelligence. I realized the power it holds, in influencing the fate of humanity and what the world will look like
. We use it to do everyday things. With its help, Facebook knows how to automatically tag us in photos, Spotify produces playlists for us according to our preferences and the "financial partner" knows how to help us avoid a deficit in the account
. To drive oneself, being careful of human customs, which do not always make the right decisions on the road.But the more intriguing and dangerous realization is in the military and security worlds.

The possessor of intelligence is the possessor of power
similar to the economic and technological power that countries and societies accumulate and allows them to influence wars, also in the field of AI there is an arms race.
It is clear to all of us that in the future war, whoever has a stronger AI will be the one to win.
Imagine, for example, immune "Robocops" fighting on the battlefield against human soldiers.
Have I already warned that I believe in science fiction movies that will come true?
One way or another, one should not just watch a movie and imagine.
Go to YouTube and look for Boston Dynamics robots.
The Power of China
China is one of the countries that strives with all its might for supremacy in the field of AI.
The state has formulated an orderly strategy, investing tens of billions of dollars.
The country's stated goal is to lead by 2025 important breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence, and by 2030 to be the world leader in the field.
To do this you need, among other things, to accelerate the technological capability of the chips and the performance of the supercomputers.
In an article published by researchers at the Chinese company Ali Baba, they noted that they have been able to improve the performance of AI applications 1,000 times more than has been possible so far.
If the research matures into practical application, China will make significant leaps forward, fulfill its goal and become the next world power.
