Why AI Researchers Are Moving to China
China is the world's AI superpower in the making. While the US debates AI regulation, China is building the infrastructure, training the talent, and deploying AI at unprecedented scale. If you want to work on problems that matter — with virtually unlimited compute and data — there's no better place.
The numbers speak for themselves: China publishes more AI research papers than any other country. BAAI (Beijing Academy of AI) trained Wu Dao 2.0, one of the world's largest language models. Tsinghua's AI research output rivals Stanford and MIT combined.
From a Former Google Brain Researcher:
"I spent 5 years at Google Brain. Moved to BAAI last year. The compute resources here are insane — I have access to clusters that would cost $10M/year at Google. Plus, the K visa means I'm not tied to one employer. Best career decision ever." — Dr. James L., Senior Research Scientist
