AI training program enters Chinese universities

China Daily  

Artificial intelligence has become a key aspect of technology in China, and universities in the country are ramping up their training programs to meet the growing demand for AI experts. Goldman and Sachs released a special report on China's Rise in AI in 2017, suggesting that China would become a major global force in using AI to drive economic progress thanks to its supportive policies and booming technology. However, another Goldman report suggested that while China has joined half of the world's new AI projects, it only accounts for five percent of the global AI talent pool. It is China's first international AI training project at a university level and its faculty includes such luminaries as Turing-Award-winning computer scientist John Edward Hopcroft and Chinese AI expert Li Kaifu.
