The future of AI development hinges on understanding China's approach to artificial intelligence, which differs significantly from the US strategy. Experts note that while US AI focuses heavily on AGI narrative, China prioritizes AI integration across industries via its "AI+" plan. Chinese researchers often envision AGI emerging slowly through physical world interaction, contrasting with the US focus on rapid software explosion. Despite compute gaps, Chinese firms like DeepSeek aim for AGI, viewing themselves as fast followers. These divergent views, shaped by existing capabilities, mean neither side fully grasps the other's progress.

🔬 Eye scans catch early heart rhythm issues

A new study found that optical images can detect biomarkers for atrial fibrillation in the retina. This research, led by Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, analyzed data from over 90,000 people. Across the datasets, people with AF showed thinner macular ganglion cells up to four years before diagnosis. The authors suggest these changes might indicate mini-strokes reducing blood flow to retinal nerve cells. This points to routine eye checks potentially aiding earlier cardiac assessment. 🩺
