## Resource

Will China ever produce an Elon Musk? Kyle Chan, research fellow at the Brookings Institution and an expert on the AI race between the two superpowers thinks not. He talks to Yalda about the new Cold War - the race for the best AI between China and America. The two talk about Taiwan, Tehran and the different ways that each country approaches AI research and development. Could the Chinese government actually be holding progress back?
