Listen "AI - a path to growth for MNCs in China?"
Episode Synopsis
How can AI unlock new paths to growth for multinationals in China? How are Chinese retailers able to produce a thousand videos in the time it takes global brands to create just one? Why are 95% of corporate AI projects failing—and could “shadow AI” be the secret weapon of the 5% that succeed? Is it really true that investing in AI doesn’t have to be expensive? And most provocatively of all - why does one of my guests call AI the digital equivalent of a nuclear weapon?In this episode of ChinaBizz, Jacob Johansen engages with Etienne Charlier, Partner, 2DIY AI, and Ling Fan, Founder and CEO, Tezign, to explore the transformative potential of AI for multinationals operating in China. They discuss the current state of AI development, the competitive landscape between the US and China, and the various sectors where AI is being implemented effectively. The conversation highlights the challenges and opportunities for multinational companies in adopting AI technologies, emphasizing the importance of a growth mindset and the need for compliance in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.Link to ink to the AI Master Course announcement mentioned by Etienne Charlier in the podcast: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/etiennecharlier_ai-master-class-activity-7370061044498694144-5jzU
