Is the US focusing on "fluffy" AI while China builds the future? On this episode of The Chicken Coupe, we sit down with author Saji Madapat to discuss his journey from "God's Own Country" (Kerala, India) to the US tech sector. We dive deep into the stark differences between American and Chinese approaches to Artificial Intelligence, the crisis of shrinking attention spans in schools, and why he believes the "new world order" is being written while we aren't looking.
