SCI & TECHJun 25Could China’s photonic chips help it leapfrog US on AI?China opened a top-level optical computing laboratory in Shanghai in June after a string of breakthroughs in the field that could help get around US curbs on its development of artificial intelligence (AI). A decade after optical computing and next-generation photonics were made national priorities, China last year began limited production of locally designed photonic chips. These transmit and process data using photons – particles of light generated by lasers – whereas silicon chips such as the...South China Morning Post
SCI & TECHJun 25As large language models enter China’s legal profession, which lawyers will lose out?A major legal database affiliated with Peking University has launched a large language model tool it says can accurately retrieve statutes and automatically generate contracts, sending ripples through the legal profession in China. AI-powered legal tools can draft convincing documents in seconds, yet without rigorous oversight they are equally adept at inventing statutes and fabricating precedents – a liability that has kept them on the sidelines in medicine and law. However, lawyers cannot...South China Morning Post
