China deployed an autonomous drone that rescues drowning people faster than humans can respond. One speaker argues real-world AI saves lives better than chatbots, and that America is falling behind because cities like Boston can't even get Waymo service.

I love this product. Let's take a look at the quick video here. It's like, wow, best use of a drone I've seen. So I thought this was fantastic for a couple of reasons, right?
This is compressing time, response time, where time equals lives. So this is so great because autonomous response is so much more interesting than remote control in this context for this type of use case. These types of applications are gonna do more for public acceptance of AI than any like chatbot benchmark, whatever. It's such a great use case.
I love this. I've tried to push the notion of a broken Waymos theory, the idea being that if a city or a nation can't deploy autonomous robots, then they're not prepared for the singularity. I see videos like this drone life preserver aircraft coming out of China, and I shake my head a bit because here in Boston we can't even get Waymos, and I raised the subject or attempted to raise the subject with Mayor Wu a couple weeks ago. I just think like we're getting lapped by China at this point.
