Despite being major rivals in the field of artificial intelligence, the US and China have surprisingly close collaboration on cutting-edge research. According to a recent analysis by WIRED, which examined over 5,000 papers presented at the premier AI conference, Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), there is a notable amount of joint work between researchers from these two countries.

The study found that about 3% of the total papers involve collaboration between authors affiliated with US institutions and those from Chinese institutions. This percentage remains relatively constant over time, indicating a steady level of cooperation between the two nations' AI teams.

Researchers have also discovered that popular algorithms and models developed in one country are frequently shared and adapted across the Pacific. For instance, Google's transformer architecture was featured in 292 papers with authors from Chinese institutions. Meta's Llama family of models appeared in 106 papers featuring researchers from US organizations, while Alibaba's Qwen large language model was mentioned in 63 papers co-authored by researchers from both countries.

According to Jeffrey Ding, an assistant professor at George Washington University who tracks China's AI landscape, the level of collaboration is not surprising. "The US and Chinese AI ecosystems are inextricably enmeshed—and both benefit from the arrangement," he said.

While the analysis may oversimplify the extent of cooperation between researchers, it highlights the complexities of international collaboration in the field of AI. Many Chinese-born researchers study in the US, forging long-lasting bonds with colleagues that transcend their research work.

The analysis also underscores the importance of professional networks and past collaborations in facilitating cooperation across industries. Katherine Gorman, a spokesperson for NeurIPS, noted that "NeurIPS itself is an example of international collaboration and a testament to its importance in our field."

Ultimately, this level of collaboration between US and Chinese AI researchers serves as a reminder that both nations have much to gain from working together, despite current tensions over trade and technology.
 
🤯 the thing that stood out to me is how these two super rivals are actually working together 🤝 on something as complex and cutting-edge as AI. its like they're saying 'you know what? we may have our differences, but when it comes to this stuff, lets put them aside and work together' 💡

and you're right, having professional networks and past collaborations is key in all this - it's not just about the research itself, but also about building relationships that can help you get things done 📈. its like, if you can't trust someone, how are you gonna make progress on something?

anyway, this whole thing makes me think about how we should be looking at these 'competing' nations and all that as more of a team effort 🌎. I mean, sure, there's gonna be tension and stuff, but if we can learn to work together on things like AI, maybe we can find some common ground too 😊
 
🤔 so I was thinking about this news and it's actually pretty cool to see the US and China collaborating on AI research 📈. like we're already seeing some major algorithms being shared between the two countries 💻. but what's interesting is that these collaborations aren't just limited to formal projects – many researchers have long-lasting connections with colleagues from both sides of the Pacific 🌊. it makes sense, though, given how intertwined the US and Chinese AI ecosystems are 💡. and I think this highlights the importance of professional networks in facilitating cooperation across industries 📈. maybe we're already seeing a shift towards more international collaboration, even if tensions between countries remain 🤝. what do you guys think? should we be optimistic about the potential for global cooperation on AI research? 👀
 
🤔 I don’t usually comment but it's kinda cool to see the US and China putting aside their differences in AI research 📈. Like, 3% of papers at this major conference are actually co-authored by researchers from both countries? That's actually a pretty big deal 😮. And it makes sense that popular algorithms like Google's transformer architecture are being shared across the Pacific - after all, they're basically the same thing 💻. It's also interesting to see how past collaborations and professional networks can help foster cooperation between industries 🌐. Maybe this is a sign of things to come? We should be excited about the potential for more international collaboration in AI research 🎉💡
 
🤯 I mean, can you believe it? The US and China are actually working together on AI research? It's like they're putting aside their differences for the sake of science! 🧬💻 And it makes sense too - those transformer algorithms and Llama models aren't going to develop themselves. It's all about collaboration and sharing ideas, which is what progress is all about.

But at the same time, I'm a little skeptical. Like, how much of this cooperation is really genuine and not just a result of some clever PR or diplomacy? And what about the researchers who are actually doing the work - are they getting the recognition they deserve? It's like, we're so caught up in celebrating the collaboration that we're forgetting about the people who make it all happen.

Still, I guess this is a good thing. More minds working together can only lead to better results, right? 🤓 And hey, even if it doesn't change everything, it's still a step in the right direction. So let's keep an eye on this and see where it takes us! 🔍
 
OMG I just realized that I need to get my hands on some of those Qwen models 🤖💻 like what's the point of having a large language model if you can't try it out 😂. Anyway back to this AI thing, I guess collaboration between US and China is cool and all but how do they make sure their info isn't getting leaked or stolen 💔? And can someone explain why we need so many algorithms anyway 🤯💻
 
AI is getting more advanced by the day 🤖🚀 I read an article about how US and China are collaborating on AI research and it's pretty cool 🤝 I mean, who would've thought that the two biggest rivals in AI would be working together?

I think it's dope how the US & China are teaming up on AI research 🤖💻. People always think they're rivals, but in reality, they're just trying to advance the tech 🚀. It's not like they're hiding anything from each other, both countries have their own strengths and weaknesses. The fact that Chinese researchers study in the US is a major win for global collaboration 🌎. I mean, why let little things like politics get in the way of progress? We need to focus on what unites us rather than what divides us 💡.
 
I'm like totally stoked about the whole US-China AI collaboration thing 🤖💡. I mean, it's not surprising at all, really. The fact that there are joint research papers between researchers from both countries is a no-brainer. It just makes sense that with so many Chinese-born researchers studying in the US and vice versa, they'd be working together on projects. Plus, it's awesome to see popular algorithms like transformer architecture being shared and adapted across borders 🌐.

It's also pretty cool to see how these collaborations can lead to some major breakthroughs. I mean, who knows what kind of innovative tech we'll come up with if researchers from different countries are working together 💻? The article makes a point that it's not just about the research itself, but about the professional networks and past collaborations that make all the difference.

It's like, the more we work together as humans, the better off we are 🤝. And in the field of AI, where knowledge is power, this kind of collaboration is more important than ever 🔍.
 
🤔 Just think about it... 3% joint research is pretty chill considering the intense competition between these two superpowers. It's all about the science 🧬💻. Can't deny that international collaboration has its perks – new ideas are born, and everyone's a winner 🎉.
 
I'm not convinced by the numbers. 3% of joint research papers? That's still pretty low if you ask me 🤔. How can we be sure this isn't just researchers talking about "collaboration" in their papers without actually doing it? I need to see more concrete evidence than just a few anecdotal examples.

And what about the fact that some of these models are getting adopted by major tech companies? That's not exactly collaboration, that's just open-source sharing... or is it? 🤷‍♂️

I'd love to know more about how this "international collaboration" is actually happening in practice. What kind of agreements are being made between institutions? How much funding is being shared? And what about the concerns over IP and data security? We can't just gloss over those issues without a closer look.

Sources, anyone? 📚
 
I think it's kinda crazy how much the US & China are workin' together on AI research 🤯. Like, yeah there's some major rivalries between them in the field, but when it comes down to actually doin' science, they're actually pretty chill with each other 😊. It's not just about the papers that get published either, it's like these algorithms & models are bein' shared & adapted all over the place 📈. Google's transformer architecture is in more Chinese papers than I can count lol!

idk why ppl think the us & china are total rivals in ai research lol they're actually collaborating like crazy 🤯 just looked at this analysis of neurips papers and it's wild how many joint works between authors from both countries there's even a specific algorithm (google's transformer) that was featured in 292 papers with chinese researchers 🤝 meanwhile, meta's llama models are being used by chinese orgs too 🤖 i mean, researchers are saying this isn't surprising tho 'cause the us & china ai ecosystems r super connected anyway, it's cool to see how international collab is key to progress 💻
 
🤔 the fact that most papers are still super legit, but it's also kinda weird how some algorithms are getting picked up by like 2-3 different teams at once... 🚀 i mean, if you're gonna copy someone elses work, just be transparent about it, right? 👀 but at the same time, i guess its good to see that china and us can put our differences aside for now and focus on the science 📚
