China is a late starter in artificial intelligence. However, since the reform and
opening up, especially in the recent decade, China’s AI has been developing rapidly.
The development of AI has become a national strategy,
with hundreds of thousands of scientific and technical personnel, university
teachers and students engaged in the research, learning,
development and application of AI.
The Internet and big data have pushed AI into a new stage of development.
China has made breakthroughs in AI, and has achieved a large number of
internationally advanced application results in fields like natural language
processing, speech recognition, image recognition, machine learning,
virtual reality, intelligent driving and intelligent robots.
