# Event | Unique U.S. AI Study Tour — Seattle–Silicon Valley, May 12–20 (Signup Open)

_Unique Research · Event signup · March 14, 2024_

Early 2024 stacked U.S. AI “king hits”: Google’s Gemini, OpenAI’s Sora text-to-video, and a forthcoming more socially aware ChatGPT-5. Generative AI is landing across transport, housing, food, and daily life — a new AGI scramble. That speed also fuels debate: is this only a giants’ game, or can next-gen AI startups co-build? Do Sora/Gemini rewrite startup and investment logic? Where should China’s AI go next?

At the 2024 Two Sessions, Premier Li Qiang’s government work report called for deeper big-data and AI R&D/application, an “AI+” action, and internationally competitive digital industry clusters.

Unique Research _2023 Global AIGC Industry Annual_: China AI financing **¥19.18B** — only ~**10%** of global AIGC financing **¥190.2B**, and less than one-third of OpenAI’s alone (**¥70.58B**). China has the conditions; the ceiling is still high — and the U.S. remains the best field trip.

Hence Unique’s China–U.S. AI study camp: **Seattle–Silicon Valley**, **May 12–20, 2024**.
