Many of the advances we know of are coming from outside the US. Notably teams at the Universities of Toronto and Montreal, DeepMind in the UK, and Juergen Schmidhuber's group in Switzerland. Geoff Hinton is British, Yann LeCun is French, Andrew Ng was born in the UK to Hong Kong parents and graduated in Singapore, Quoc Le is Vietnamese. Machine intelligence research is very international.
When you consider all the data being processed in the world in different ways, and all the optimization algorithms being run on public and private clouds and various in-house data centers, I think you will appreciate how difficult it is to even detect advances in machine intelligence.
- vkrakovna 12y agoFair point, though most of the advances are still coming from the Western countries, which can agree on a regulation more easily than the world as a whole.
- vonnik 12y agoThe advances are happening in Western countries, for now. Members of the top teams come from all over the world. It would be very easy for them to relocate.
- jkramar 12y agoYou're right - regulation without any support from the AI/ML community would be less effective.
- sanxiyn 12y agoBaidu is doing top quality work, and I think researchers moving to Baidu is a realistic concern.
