He's clearly not talking about user privacy.
Chinese companies and government will have access to billions of medical records to train their algorithms on while their western counterparts are squabbling with individual hospitals over access to a few thousand records.
China has the talent, money and data to be the leader in this space.

If western companies being unable to get their hands on my medical data makes us "behind" then I think it's a good thing to be behind. As part of the West, I am happy to not be a "leader in the space" of AI if being such a leader necessarily requires careless sharing of vast amounts of private data.

Now those companies are using the money they made by spying on us to get exclusive access to patient data so they can expand their monopolies to healthcare. https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/facebook-healthcare/520786/ https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/facebook-healthcare/5207... https://healthitanalytics.com/news/facebook-nyu-will-use-artificial-intelligence-for-faster-mris https://healthitanalytics.com/news/facebook-nyu-will-use-art... https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/15/uk-report-warns-deepmind-health-could-gain-excessive-monopoly-power/ https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/15/uk-report-warns-deepmind-h...
