Kai-Fu Lee
The chairman and chief executive officer of Sinovation Ventures says America’s technology industry can’t afford to underestimate the artificial intelligence companies he’s funding in China. Lee, a Taiwan native, has spent most of his professional life in China, but he lived for a quarter-century in the U.S. before becoming a venture capitalist, and he’s worked for Apple, Microsoft, and Google on one side of the Pacific or the other. Lee spoke with Bloomberg Businessweek shortly before the official release of his book AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley, and the New World Order. His comments have been condensed and edited.
