There's going to be a Sputnik moment in the next decade or two where The West wakes up to how far it's fallen behind in this area.

Could the West not take data from China in the same way they've taken data from the West to get ahead (arguing the capability, not the morality)?

Funny, I've heard AlphaGo referred to as the Sputnik moment for China.

Any chance you have a source for that? AlphaGo seemed like a monumental achievement but I didn't hear anything specifically China related.
