China's new generation of artificial intelligence development planning and major science and technology project launch implementation, arouse the society's high concern. Over the past six years, the voice recognition technology has been accurate from 60. It has risen to more than 95% and has taken the lead in the world.

According to the BBC, the Chinese government has used artificial intelligence (AI) as the main driver of industrial upgrading and economic transformation to encourage, support and promote the development of artificial intelligence. According to the data, China has 1,354 enterprises in the field of artificial intelligence since 2012, and the total investment in 2017 exceeds 62.2 billion yuan, a hundred times more than the 600 million yuan in 2012. The Chinese media called 2017 the "year of AI", and 2018 is the key year for artificial intelligence to enter the industry and popularize the application.

Chinese artificial intelligence companies are moving at a dizzying pace, according to a recent article in the British journal nature. The future of ai will be a contest of data and talent, according to David weve, principal researcher at Microsoft research in Beijing. Therefore, to become a global leader in artificial intelligence, China will need a large and high-level talent team to support it.

Published after the U.S. the MIT technology review article points out that China's efforts for mastering artificial intelligence technology is unprecedented, China is likely to become a dominant force in the development of artificial intelligence, which can increase in industrial productivity, and become a new type of artificial intelligence business leaders.

2017 is a milestone in China's artificial intelligence funding policy and algorithm development. "AI+" has become the industry consensus. On the one hand, the new technology became a "standard" of various industries, widely introduced financial, security, good data base industry fields such as medical treatment, and will be introduced for the construction of safe city, intelligence traffic momentum. On the other hand, some relatively mature technologies are being used in the consumer market. Many of the AI applications directly exposed to the public, such as face payment, AI translation, unowned stores and intelligent voice speakers, began to increase significantly, making the concept of artificial intelligence practical.

Artificial intelligence is on the rise, but it is also seeing more investment, fewer companies and more expensive projects. Our ability to be artificial intelligence needs to have the right expectation. Currently, artificial intelligence can only be commercialized in specific areas. In the future, the ability to move artificial intelligence to more areas is a problem that scientists need to solve.

In the report of the comprehensive interpretation of the development of artificial intelligence industry in China and the United States, the tencent research institute found that the development of artificial intelligence industry now shows the pattern of the rivalry between China and the United States. On the investment quota, China equalled the United States in 2016, reaching 492. 9.8 billion yuan. Chinese investors are more focused on the application tier, such as the top three areas of financing for computer vision, natural language processing and autonomous driving/assisted driving.

And the United States pays more attention to the basic level. Chip, machine learning and natural language processing financing rank top three. In terms of the number of papers published, the research of artificial intelligence in China develops rapidly, and the advantages of Chinese authors are becoming more and more obvious. But from the scale of the industry, the number of Chinese artificial intelligence enterprises is only half that of the us.

Compared with the us, China's weakness lies in core areas such as chip, algorithm and basic theory, and the number of enterprises in chips and core technologies is less than half that of the us. In addition, China's artificial intelligence talent gap is large, the talent team is uneven, and demand exceeds supply.

But China has obvious advantages in data, Internet, Internet of things and other related technologies. As the "new oil" of the 21st century, the importance of the development of artificial intelligence is self-evident. China has seven. With 7.2 billion Internet users, the breadth and depth of Internet and Internet of things applications are significant, and the number of data types and aggregates continues to increase.

In addition, China also has great advantages in government support, industrial application, entrepreneurial support, market enthusiasm and investment and financing environment.

In May 2016 the government issued the "Internet + artificial intelligence" action plan for three years, key support intelligent household, smart cars, intelligent security and other key projects in the field of nine, and from financial support, the standard system, intellectual property rights, personnel training and so provide security; Introduced in July 2017, "a new generation of artificial intelligence development plan", will rise for the national strategy of artificial intelligence, proposed the strategic target of "three steps", by 2030, the artificial intelligence theory, technology and application of overall reached world leading level, to become the world's major artificial intelligence innovation center.

In addition to the basic theory, the core technology system, the base and innovation platform, personnel training, funding, and other aspects of planning, also put forward a new planning laws and regulations related to artificial intelligence and ethical norms, technical standards and intellectual property, safety supervision and evaluation system, workforce training, specialized agencies and other security measures.

To build an artificial intelligence power, China needs a comprehensive layout and preparation. Artificial intelligence technology research and development support, personnel training, industrial application system construction, new business model cultivation, etc. are all due. But the global implications of policy, law and ethics are just as important.

At present, many countries and regions such as the United States, Britain, the European Union are early movers, including automatic driving, laws, regulations and policies in the field of robot such as segmentation, to break, both the institutional obstacles of technology and industrial development to create new rules. In the future, new technologies such as artificial intelligence may lead to artificial intelligence laws such as data protection, responsibility commitment and algorithmic regulation, and it is expected to reshape many international rules. Only in advance of these areas can the research be strengthened, and in the future, it will be possible to have more say in the international competition related to artificial intelligence.
