New research shows that China has by some metrics eclipsed the United States as the biggest producer of A.I. talent, with the country generating almost half the world’s top A.I. researchers. By contrast, about 18 percent come from U.S. undergraduate institutions. Researchers originally from China now make up 38 percent of the top A.I. researchers working in the United States, with Americans making up 37 percent, according to the research. Three years earlier, those from China made up 27 percent of top talent working in the United States, compared with 31 percent from the United States. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/22/technology/china-ai-talent.html
38 percent of the top AI researchers coming to the US and staying here is a massive win for America. Who cares where they're from originally as long as they stay. It is literally why the US is the global superpower. Fix immigration so everyone with talent and drive can stay and dominate the tech industry. No tech genius from America is moving to build a life in China, but the opposite happens all the time.
wtf are you talking about? US was the global superpower throughout the cold war before h1b even existed with virtually zero china or india immigration. Immigration, globalization, and woke commie shit if anything fucked this country. Now it is not anywhere close to a superpower.
The US became the global superpower through the cold War because of nuclear weapons that were only initially possible because the US recruited, welcomed, and kept scientists originally from other countries and spent 50 years educating immigrants and allowing them to stay permanently through various visa programs. Educating scientists and other technology workers and forcing them to return to their original country is stupid.
So the good ones all move to america anyway?
No worry, we have Indian h1b to the rescue, best of the best
US universities are primarily research institutions. At the PhD level they accept the best and brightest from around the world. At the undergrad level, they accept very good students (and then all sorts of enforced diversity once that pre filter is applied), plus a bunch of rich foreigners. So yeah, it's not surprising that "only" 18% of the top researchers come from us undergrad (remember, the US population is 4% - but even that is overstating - the US population of 20-somethings is probably more like 2-3%).
