Sign up Log in you are to write a description for a podcast episosde from this transcript: Sandy (01:38.523) All right. It's Beamer's best bets. I'm Sandy along with Rich beam and we're getting back into it. We dropped the ball last week and we dropped the ball on a week that was pretty exciting in the week of golf. Scott rich is joining us from somewhere in Scotland today. I'm at my home studio in Austin, Texas, but following you on a social at Beamer PGA has been fun. It looks like you're having a great time. Scotland's a wonderful Rich Beem (02:02.546) Scotland's a great time. If you're following me Instagram, you got to see the post that I put out this morning. I was driving from Trune up to Carnoose where I am now and I pulled off and I was a little bit hungry, but I needed some gas too. So I thought, you know, I just do it all in one go swoop. It's not like the U .S. where, know, you can go into these massive truck stops and do that. You kind of kind of pick and choose. And I kind of thought that I was picking and choosing one of these, you know, bigger places. It turned out it was just a gas station and then there's little building right next to it. And I'm like, I'm to go fill up the gas and then I'm going go right there and just grab a, they call breakfast BAP, which is basically just like a bacon and bacon sandwich essentially in a hot tea and just boogie on the road. So I walk into this, this little shop and the guy from behind goes, my God, rich bean. And he's this, he's this shorter Asian gentlemen. who's got a Scottish accent, but not a heavy Scottish accent. It's kind of a little bit, I'm kind of guessing that he wasn't born in Scotland, but he starts talking about, remember Glenn, goes just up the road and he starts going on and on and on. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. And he was just, he was the neatest, nicest guy. And I'm like, this is why I love this country. I just pulled off for gas and a little breakfast sandwich. And this guy is going on and bought me breakfast this morning at his place. And then I gave him a couple dozen or I gave him a couple sleeves of golf balls that I had just in the bag. And then I did this video. So I'm like, you know what? This is why I love sky. This is why I love traveling around the world is that by happenstance, this guy recognized me from Sky Sports Golf and I was just blown away. It was the funnest morning I've had. I I needed it to after a beat down on a long week work wise. But this guy was just the neatest and nicest guy. So anybody follows me on Instagram at B repuGA, just go check it out. It's really, really funny. This guy, and I think his name, but I think Sandy (03:47.749) Yeah, Sandy (03:59.109) Tanga, something like that, Rich Beem (03:59.377) Tango, tango, tango, tango, tango, yeah, something like that. I mean, couldn't hardly understand him. He was so excitable this morning and I was just like, I'm so happy that I made your morning and you made my morning. I can promise you Sandy (04:12.763) We are going to get into Rich's picks in just a moment. We've got the 3M at TPC Twin Cities this week. And of course we've got the senior open. We're going to focus on the 3M for your picks, which are coming up in just a moment. But briefly on the open championship, boy, I took it all in. I was up two mornings at 5 a .m. watching. I just love it. It's my favorite major. I just love the early morning and the style of golf and the look and the crowd and the There's something about it that I just, love it. I love that major. Rich Beem (04:48.494) It's incredible. It literally for me too, it's probably the most fun sporting events that I attend every year. mean, most of it's all golf related anyway, Sandy, as you well know, but you know, the Masters, even being a past champion of the PGA, for me, it's just so much fun because the crowds, the atmosphere, the excitement, the energy that they have and it's early, you early Monday all the way to the end of golf on Sunday. mean, people are just coming in droves. And I was up at 5 a .m. too, just a little bit different time zone than you. But, you know, we put in some long hours and I always kind of, you know, whinge about it, complain about it little bit. But it's just like, you know what, I just got to be a part of one of the greatest championships of all time. And it's never lost on me, thankfully, you know, but it was really amazing. And what a great week. And again, the people in Scotland are just, they're amazing. If anybody has not been over this part of the world to play golf, as you've been here, Sandy, it's Sandy (05:55.949) It really is, it's hard to explain. And I'll tell you what, as Rich enjoys a pint, as we record the podcast, good for you, and watching it on television, and I did this during the US Open too, I watched you guys on Sky, on Peacock, and I loved the British commentators, especially during the open. Rich Beem (06:02.96) Listen, it's the evening time. Sandy (06:23.821) I wish we had them, we got them in America the whole round because it just feels different when they do. It's just, to me, it's Rich Beem (06:33.107) And we've got, I think one of the best voices of the game of golf, Ewan Murray, who's this eloquently spoken and nothing gets too excitable. And it's just, he's very, very good at what he does. And then you have Nick Fowler sitting to his left. And then you got me over to the right, this hillbilly that calls the bird on 16, a creek, you know, on Thursday morning. And I'm like, what am I doing here half the time? You know, and I, but I think that's also what makes, you know, everything so fun is Sandy (06:37.508) Rich Beem (07:02.983) You know, Peter Alice was the voice of the open. He was the best of the best. There's no doubt. And, sometimes I think about that, like, you know, when I would come over here and was playing in it, you know, still turn on BBC and watch it and listen to it just for Peter Alice. I'm like, this guy's just unbelievable. And, you know, and sometimes I'm sitting there commenting, like, I'm commentating the same thing that Peter Alice used to be, and I'm nowhere in his league. But again, though, that's also the beauty of this game that we play because I'm sitting here next to, you know, broadcast legend in Neu and Murray, six time major champion, three time open champion, Nick Baudo, Hill Billy Beamer here. And I am just having a gas. I just, think it's the greatest tournament to have fun with too, because it doesn't need to be all pomp and circumstance and things like that. You can have a lot of fun with it. And I think that the folks over here enjoy it for the most But it's such a great honor to be part of the broadcast because we are the main broadcasters over here in the UK now, Sky Sports. It's so much fun. Sandy (08:15.429) man, it's gotta be cool for you. mean, the parallels between like what you just described in the broadcast booth and the game of golf are kind of similar too in that it's the only game where like I could never play football with Patrick Mahomes, but I could play golf with Rich Bean. You know what I mean? I could play golf with Cernic Faldo. You know what I mean? And by the way, I'm a big Faldo fan and I probably asked you this before. Is it intimidating to be in the booth with him Rich Beem (08:36.379) Yeah, that's exactly Sandy (08:44.484) is he, you know what I mean? Cause I would be scared to Rich Beem (08:48.372) Yeah, it probably was initially in the first time that I ever did it was with CBS. And so it kind of caught me off guard, but you know, he, to be fair though, he, he did like the first ever time I worked with him, Sandy, you'll love this colonial one year. I was, it was on a Thursday and I was following Jordan Spieth's group and this must've been back in like 15, I it was like 2015. And anyways, first hole out, Jordan's on ninth hole and he hits his second shot on nine up onto the shelf and the pins down front left. And all of a sudden I hear, I set up the shot for Jordan, for the putt, and all of sudden I hear from Faldo, goes, Rich, how would you hit this putt? I was totally caught off guard. I said, well, I would actually line it up like I normally would, but then I dragged the toe of the putter, I put the ball towards the toe of the putter. and I'd hit it off that. That way I could make a competent stroke but the ball would come off a little bit softer, a little bit slower. And I went out. And he comes back and goes, yes, yes, yes. No, I never did Mean he's like marking his territory a little bit because you know I was the other guy you know the other major champion on the broadcast But you know I I've never I don't think I've been intimidated by him And I guess probably because I've never really known him I just I don't know I've never been fearful working with with anybody to be fair You know there's some there's a lot of guys that bring other things to the table. I mean you've been the broadcast in business, you know Sandy (10:00.805) Yeah. Sandy (10:29.157) Yeah, I was just thinking, there's not really anybody I'd be intimidated to be on the radio with. That was a dumb question, I guess. Rich Beem (10:29.492) for your time. Rich Beem (10:33.724) Yeah, we're well, no, it's not a dumb question to be fair at all, because I think that, you know, in, you know, I still look up to so many people like I get intimidated by, know, sometimes by asking questions of golfers, namely Tiger Woods, like I hate asking, you know, when I had to to do work in COVID, there's a couple of times where I had to interview Tiger and I can't stand that. I'm like, I don't want to sit there and interview you because that is just like, what if I'm working alongside him? I got no issue, but I'm like, I'm looking at Tiger like, you shot 74 today, but you know what? You probably should have shot 62 because that's what you did every time that we played, you know, that I played against you. Sandy (11:12.867) Rich funny story real quick and we're to get into your predictions in just a moment. But there was a social media clip and someone asked Tiger what is the what loss in his career stung the most. I was waiting for it to say the PGA the O2 PGA when you beat him. I was waiting. I was like, that's what he's going to say. That's what he's going to say. And he didn't. He talked about the Y. Yang PGA because because he was leading the tournament. Rich Beem (11:37.91) I, you know what, that was actually my, and I played with him the first two days there, Sandy, and every single day, I'm like, this guy's gonna win by 90. He's gonna blow everybody away. He's just gonna take this two, and he just, and he didn't, know, why he passed him? didn't have, he didn't have the goods on Sunday, which was so unreal to me. Sandy (11:48.634) Hahaha Rich Beem (12:04.961) I, to this day, it's like that, that I can see that I can see that being the biggest loss because he was actually, I think he was leading. I think it was the first time he actually lost a Only time he'd lost. Yep. I, I, listen, I can see that clear as day, but yeah, that, would have, I mean, cause listen, I had a bet everything that I owned that he was going to win going into Sunday with that week, Sandy (12:12.741) Yeah, he was. Only time he had lost when leading on Sunday, yes. Sandy (12:29.039) Yeah. I was waiting for him to say the loss to rich beam though. That's what I was waiting for. They would have been nice, right? okay. So let's jump into, moving along the golf. seems like the golf season never ends. It's one thing to another traveling circus. You're going to be covering the senior open at car new St back in the S you're playing in Rich Beem (12:32.993) Wow, that would have been nice too. Rich Beem (12:47.816) And playing. yeah, I'm here to play too, baby. I kicked the rust off the body today and I got out there and yeah, played a few holes, it great. Sandy (12:55.653) your pet past major exempt. What does that Rich Beem (12:59.613) I think that's what it is. Yeah, I think that's what my, my exemption into it is. don't really care. I just love this tournament. I love coming over here and competing in links golf courses and, and carnusity is probably my, it's, it's my favorite one. It's the hardest one, I think of the bunch, but I think it's, it's my favorite because you have to come and play a very intimidating golf course, which I'm not intimidated by it anymore. I just love it. I think I kind of have a good idea how to play You gotta hit, you gotta make quality swings, you gotta hit quality shots, but I love carnage. I've played well here a number of times and I'm excited. I can't wait to put you up on Thursday. Sandy (13:40.923) So what does your day look like? mean, how does it work with Sky Sports? you going to, let's say you tee off in the morning, do you have to work that afternoon? Or do they give you the whole day off as long as you're Rich Beem (13:47.736) Yeah, pretty much. I'll go back. Yeah, I'll go back. if I see off the number I tee up in the morning, because everything goes off in the first tee here, as it does in the open, I will, once I get done with my morning round, then I'll pop into commentary in the afternoon for an hour and a half, two hours. I don't think I'll have to go in when I'm doing after when I tee off in the afternoon. If I do, it only be for like 30, 45 minutes, which I don't think they'll make me do it. And then and then on the weekend after I get done playing. So my goal is to have a late enough tee time in the afternoon that I don't get a chance to go into commentary because that means I'm playing well and I'm in contention. Sandy (14:25.925) Yeah, I was gonna say, you must be hitting it pretty good if you're in the tournament. Rich Beem (14:30.304) You know what? I'm hitting it pretty good. it's, you know, again, it's coming off, you know, a hundred hour work week last week and you're trying to, last thing you want to do is look at a yardage book and figure it all out. But, you know, I guess it's just because it's Cardenusty and I know this golf course, so I'm really excited about Sandy (14:38.511) Yeah, well. Sandy (14:51.311) You got a local guy on the back? Rich Beem (14:53.375) I do, in fact he's a tour caddy on the European tour for a guy by the name of, well, they just separated, but he's been out on the tour for about four years now, but he's a local guy born and raised here and he knows the Scouts course as good as anybody. Thanks, ask me a blast. Yeah, ask me a blast. Sandy (15:09.371) That's cool, that's cool. Well, good luck. That'll be fun to follow you. We'll be watching for sure. Let's go back across the Atlantic to the United States and we head to the Twin Cities, TPC Twin Cities is where this week's 3M is. Who do you like in this? Rich Beem (15:25.495) I've got Tony Finau, Tom Hogy, and Eric Van Royen. And the reason being is I think Tony Finau is playing extremely well right now. He didn't have a very good open championship, but he also played in the afternoon on Friday when the, probably the worst weather came in. Tom Hogy and Eric Van Royen. Tom Hogy is from Minnesota. So he's a local guy. One of the best ball strikers we have on tour. I think he's amazing. And Eric Van Royen is South African, but he went to school in Minnesota and he's got one of his teammates on the bag. He's been counting for years now. And I think that they make a dynamic deal. So I'm taking Tony because of how he's been playing as of late. I can see him kind of bubbling up to win again. And then I've got two local guys just because I think that is, I think that they're going to be out there with a lot of fans behind him and that's what you Sandy (16:23.715) Alright, go back. I got a question for you about the about last week's open after the tournaments over and the trophy has been handed out and what's the town like afterwards? Is it is the party just rage on or is everyone like it's been a Rich Beem (16:38.018) Yeah, these folks don't say no. I mean, I actually went into town. So I stayed over last night and I went into town to meet up with some friends of mine that actually, they volunteer at the Open as security for the players. They're all special ex -military in the UK, in Scotland, but they just go, they follow the players around and you know, they're, mean, Sandy (16:42.681) Yeah Rich Beem (17:07.294) They're still tuned in pretty good. They're taking some of their skills that they've had in the military and they put them to good use. fact, there's a guy that comes over actually every year. That's a two star retired Admiral. And so, yeah, so I've gotten to know him very well. Dano. I couldn't tell you his real name, but that's his call sign. Dano. I wish it was Bookum Dano, but anyways, but we went into town last night. I met them for dinner and Sandy (17:19.855) Mm -hmm, that's cool. Rich Beem (17:37.159) I couldn't believe how, how many people were still in town and it's not, it's not local. I can promise you that Trune is not that big of a place and it's just a, it's just heaving. You know, there's just so many people there saying that are just hanging out. and it's not really any players, maybe a few caddies that you can see that, you know, maybe teed off late and hanging out, and just kind of, you know, having some fun before they have to flight, catch your flight back home. today, but I mean, these folks just, love it. They love the atmosphere. They love her and it was the town was absolutely rocking last night. I left, I left about nine 30, thankfully, because I can't, no, I left, I left town. Yeah. I went down there by about eight o 'clock. I stayed for about an hour and a half. And I'm like, okay, I got to get going back. Cause I knew that I had to wake up wake up and had to drive two and a half hours to get here today, but it was awesome. Sandy (18:15.589) That's Sandy (18:19.387) golf course you left at 930? I left town. Rich Beem (18:33.443) It was so much fun being down there and there's people out there who just hollering and hooting and just, you know, it was awesome. This is you would expect. Sandy (18:41.477) Cool, very, very cool. Well, good luck this week. I'm excited that you're in the senior open this week. It's been a while since you teed it up on tour professionally. Rich Beem (18:48.024) Me too. Yeah, it's, yeah, I haven't seen it often played since a senior PGA, which is back in May, but yeah, the body's okay. It's just, you know, why is it that we get a little bit older and like one day your right shoulder hurts and it might hurt for like three or four days. And then that pain goes away and all of a sudden your left knee hurts. Like, why is it? It's not for wimps. There's no doubt. And thankfully you've got this, this gal, this Irish gal that is the physio trailer over here. Sandy (19:11.099) Okay, getting old is not for wussies. Rich Beem (19:21.372) And she just walks in like Mr. Miyagi. And rubs her hands together and she's just amazing. So I'm going to be like spending every waking moment that I can inside that physical fan to have her, you know, get the pain out. it's an amazing, it's an amazing week, Sandy. just, I'm so excited about, A, not really working because I'm not working, you know, playing golf though and I got a great guy in the bag it's gonna be a great Sandy (19:53.795) good man.

UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc) is considered one of the biggest and most competitive trail races in the world and is making a small step into drug testing in trail running Doping is a concern in trail running, and efforts are being made to address it, although the fragmented nature of the sport makes it challenging. The concept of power hiking in ultra running is debated, with some considering it a form of walking and others emphasizing its athletic nature. Humor and jokes related to ultra running and different generations are awful. A book recommendation, 'Itch' by Nick Fowler, is given. The significance of rocks, particularly 'ugly rocks,' is pondered. Sound bites "FKT's jokes ugly rocks this episode has everything" "FKTs on the Pacific Crest Trail and the Appalachian Trail. She's also written a couple of books if you're a book person." "There's even the influencer level of money in the sport" Chapters 00:00 FKTs, Cocodona, and UTMB: Exploring the World of Trail Running 03:45 Heather Anderson's FKTs and Book Recommendations 08:01 Addressing Doping in Trail Running 16:29 The Debate on Power Hiking in Ultra Running 23:04 Contemplating the Significance of Rocks Keywords FKTs, Cocodona, UTMB, trail running, doping, power hiking, jokes, generations, book recommendation, rocks

Summary In this conversation, I interview Nick Fowler, a renowned thru-hiker and FKT (Fastest Known Time) record breaker. We discuss Nick's experiences with thru-hiking and FKT attempts and dive into his record-breaking Pacific Crest Trail hike. Nick shares his training approach and the challenges he faced during his PCT FKT attempt, including health issues and a hurricane. The conversation highlights the determination and resilience required for long-distance hiking and FKT pursuits. We talk a little bit about my own experiences on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and the Pacific Northwest Trail (PNT). We also dive into the book that Nick wrote about the Pacific Northwest Trail record. Overall, Nick is just an amazing backpacker, thru hiker, and everything in between. Support Nick's book: ⁠⁠https://pntbook.com/⁠⁠ Takeaways Thru-hiking and FKT attempts require determination, resilience, and careful planning. Training for FKT attempts often involves strength training, long-distance running, and building up mileage gradually. Challenges during FKT attempts can include health issues, adverse weather conditions, and difficult terrain. Thru-hiking and FKT attempts are not only physical challenges but also mental and emotional journeys. He faced challenges such as difficult stream crossings, extreme heat, and physical ailments. He has written a book about his PNT FKT and plans to attempt more FKTs in the future. Sound Bites "I've always known about thru-hiking. I've always known about the Appalachian Trail and everything, but I never really gave it any thought until I started getting into big day hikes." "I started with running a half marathon a day in January, 2021. And then I bumped it up to a marathon a day with a couple of rest days a week in February, 2021." "I was struggling to open water bottle lids. I was drinking water out of trash cans." "I started off with 5,000 calories a day. And then by the time I got to mid Oregon, I was at 10,000 calories a day."

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, we are joined by Nick Fowler. Nick went from 1-2 mile day hikes in 2019 to setting the self supported PCT FKT in 2023, with many learning lessons, mistakes, and miles in the four year span in between. We learn all about his experiences on the Hayduke, Pacific Northwest trail (which was another FKT hike for him), the Arizona Trail, and of course go deep on his PCT hike from this year. We also learn about how Nick is able to financially swing being basically full-time hiker trash, outlining how some specific entrepreneurial decisions and savings strategies enable him to dirtbag around the clock. Even if FKTs aren't your jam, we think you'll really enjoy this conversation, as we feel it does a good job of normalizing this extreme style of trekking. We wrap the show with how Zach endangered his family with a black widow, news of the removal of an iconic AT shelter, things that are normal at 3pm but terrifying at 3am, and the triple crown of drunk regrets.

Nick Fowler, in a self-supported attempt, was on pace to beat the supported PCT record by 2 days*.And then he got stuck in a cave for 41 hours, dodging a hurricane in the Sierra.To make matters worse, he started peeing red, got washed away by several river crossings, and tore his quad.But he still ended up breaking the self-supported record by over 3 days.We were lucky enough to run into Nick halfway through our own FKT attempt. And his energy (he was running by himself for over 3 weeks at that point) was inspiring.I just wanted to have him on the show to understand what kind of human being even thinks about attempting an endeavor like this solo.Knowing how hard it was for Karel and the crew, I can only imagine how intense it must be to spend all those weeks alone.I'm grateful for this open, inspiring, sometimes raw, conversation I was able to have with Nick.I wish you a perspective-shifting episode.And keep an eye out for his upcoming book about his earlier FKT on the Pacific Northwest trail. It even has a chapter about Karel.*Timothy Olsen's supported record. Social link's: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nick.fowler.says.hi/  Book: www.PNTbook.com  

In this episode, I had the pleasure of catching up with Nick Fowler for the third time. Now, you might remember Nick as the guy who conquered the Self-Supported Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Pacific Northwest Trail and the Ozark Trail in our previous chats. Back then, he was dealing with some pesky ankle injuries but was determinedly preparing for a shot at the Self-Supported FKT on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). It's been a fantastic journey following Nick's evolution as a runner, hiker, and all-around person. And guess what? Nick not only took on the PCT challenge but crushed it in a jaw-dropping 52 days, 9 hours, and 18 minutes! We dive deep into his experiences, lessons learned, and how he's grown. His journey has it all….including blood, sweat, and tears! So, if you're up for some inspiring stories and a good dose of ultrarunning enthusiasm, you're in for a treat. Nick's journey is a testament to dedication and pushing boundaries, and it's always a blast chatting with him! Show notes: http://www.theriot.run/nickfowler3

I got to sit down in person again with Nick Fowler. Nick had finished the Self-Supported FKT on the Pacific Northwest Trail when we spoke last. Since then, he was able to get the Self-Supported Fastest Known Time on the Ozark Trail! He's dealt with ankle injuries, but is training up for a stab at the PCT Self-Supported FKT! It's been fun watching his journey and hearing how he's learned and grown as a runner, hiker, and person. You'll love his personality and crazy stories from the trail and in life!

Greater international cooperation is needed to explore technological frontiers such as computer-brain interface technologies and artificial intelligence, which are widely seen as key future drivers of global economic growth, officials and experts said.官员和专家表示，需要加强国际合作来探索脑机接口技术和人工智能等技术前沿，这些技术被广泛视为未来全球经济增长的主要驱动力。Highlighting that decoupling in crucial technologies will only slow down the world economy, they called on Chinese companies to have a problem-solving mindset and to accelerate the drive for breakthroughs in core sectors.突出关键技术脱钩只会拖慢世界经济，他们呼吁中国企业要有解决问题的思维，加快推动核心领域的突破。The comments came as AI is grabbing global headlines.这些评论是在人工智能成为全球热点之际发表的。US company Nvidia became the world's first chipmaker with a market capitalization of over $1 trillion on Tuesday morning amid surging demand for its AI chips. Meanwhile, Tesla CEO Elon Musk's brain-implant company Neuralink said last week that it had been given the green light for its first in-human clinical trial.由于对人工智能芯片的需求激增，5月30日，美国公司英伟达成为全球首家市值超过1万亿美元的芯片制造商。同一周内，特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克的大脑植入公司Neuralink表示已获得批准，将启动首次脑植入物人体临床研究Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Thursday that China firmly opposes any actions by the United States to politicize and weaponize economic, trade and technological issues.6月1日，外交部发言人毛宁表示，中方坚决反对美方将经贸科技问题政治化、武器化。These comments were in response to recent media reports quoting US Treasury official Paul Rosen as saying that new rules were under consideration which would restrict the flow of US investment and know-how to Chinese companies engaged in the fields of advanced semiconductors, AI and quantum computing.这些评论是为了回应最近媒体报道援引美国财政部官员保罗·罗森的话说，正在考虑新的规则，限制美国投资和技术流向从事先进半导体、人工智能和量子计算领域的中国公司。But China is clear that partnership and cooperation is the only way forward if the world is to fully harness the potential offered by the technological revolution, according to experts.但专家表示，中国很清楚，如果世界要充分利用技术革命所提供的潜力，伙伴关系与合作是唯一的出路。This was expressed clearly by President Xi Jinping in his congratulatory message to the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum, which ended in Beijing earlier this week. Xi said in the message that China is willing to work with countries around the world to promote technological innovation to better benefit the people of all countries.国家主席习近平向在北京举办的2023中关村论坛致贺，其中明确表达了这一点。国家主席习近平在贺信中表示，中国愿同世界各国一道，携手促进科技创新，推动科学技术更好造福各国人民。Wu Hequan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said international cooperation is vital to achieving scientific breakthroughs, and China and the US are highly complementary to each other in AI.中国工程院院士邬贺铨表示，国际合作对于实现科学突破至关重要，中美在人工智能领域具有很强的互补性。US companies are advanced in fundamental science and underlying computer algorithms, while China has a big market and rich application scenarios, and its research and development prowess in AI is also growing, Wu said.邬贺铨说，美国公司在基础科学和底层计算机算法方面处于领先地位，而中国拥有广阔的市场和丰富的应用场景，其在人工智能方面的研发实力也在不断增强。By 2022, China had secured the top position globally in terms of the number of patent applications for AI, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.据工信部的数据，到2022年，中国在人工智能领域的专利申请量方面已位居全球第一。AI technology will usher in the next digital revolution after the internet and smartphones, experts said, with Goldman Sachs forecasting that generative AI could drive a 7 percent increase in global GDP, or almost $7 trillion, over a 10-year period.专家表示，人工智能技术将引发继互联网和智能手机之后的下一场数字革命，高盛预测，生成式人工智能可以在10年内推动全球GDP增长7%，即近7万亿美元。Nick Fowler, chief academic officer at Elsevier, a Netherlands-based academic publishing company, said there is enduring strength in the China-US research relationship, despite noise about the two countries decoupling.总部位于荷兰的学术出版公司爱思唯尔首席学术官尼克·福勒表示，尽管有关两国脱钩的传言甚嚣尘上，但中美研究关系具有持久的优势。The Field Weighted Citation Impact — a proxy measure of research quality — of China-US co-authored publications reached almost two, which is twice the world average, and higher than the performance of either China or the US alone, according to a report by Elsevier.爱思唯尔的一份报告显示，中美合著出版物的领域加权引文影响力——研究质量的代理指标——几乎达到了2.0，是世界平均水平的两倍，也高于中国或美国单独的表现。While Washington is imposing increasingly tighter restrictions on technology, China's central leadership is attaching greater importance to innovation-driven development.在美国对技术施加越来越严格的限制的同时，中国中央领导更加重视创新驱动的发展。Beijing and Shenzhen, a metropolis in Guangdong province, announced favorable policies this week to support the development of domestically developed AI chips, which are the key to the ongoing AI boom triggered by ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by the US company OpenAI.本周，北京和深圳发布了支持国产人工智能芯片发展的优惠政策，这是由美国公司OpenAI开发的人工智能聊天机器人ChatGPT所引发的持续性人工智能热潮的关键。Liu Qingfeng, chairman of Chinese AI company iFlytek Co, said, "Chinese companies must devote big, real money to research and development in fundamental science to achieve breakthroughs in AI."中国人工智能公司科大讯飞董事长刘庆峰表示：“中国企业必须投入大量资金进行基础科学的研发，以实现人工智能的突破。”So far, China has developed at least 79 AI large-language models, or rivals of ChatGPT, according to the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China.据中国科学技术信息研究所数据迄今为止，中国已经开发了至少79个大型语言模型，或可媲美ChatGPT。When it comes to computer-brain interface technology, which enables a person to control an external device using brain signals, China is also making steady progress.在由人脑控制外部设备的脑机接口技术方面，中国也在稳步推进。A team led by Duan Feng, a professor at Nankai University in Tianjin, completed the world's first interventional brain-computer interface experiment in a nonhuman primate earlier this month.本月早些时候，天津南开大学教授段峰带领的团队完成全球首例非人灵长类动物介入式脑机接口试验。Artificialintelligence英/ˌɑːtɪfɪʃ(ə)l ɪnˈtelɪdʒəns/ 美/ˌɑːrtɪˈfɪʃ(ə)l ɪnˈtelɪdʒəns/n.人工智能Quantum英/ˈkwɒntəm/ 美/ˈkwɑːntəm/n.量子Chip英/tʃɪp/ 美/tʃɪp/n.芯片
