As the world enters the era of Artificial Intelligence, how can technology serve the many rather than the few? General Secretary of the South African Communist Party (SACP) Solly Mapaila weighs in on China's role as a global leader in innovation. Contrasting the capitalist drive for "profit maximization" with the socialist goal of "development of the people," Mapaila expresses his admiration for China's high-quality technological advancement. In a dialogue with researcher Qu Qiang, Mapaila argues that China's success is rooted in keeping the "innovative route" open to improve lives. He calls for a global shift where science and technology are protected as tools for human empowerment rather than purely for-profit enterprises.
