Online Edition
CHINA has rich talent sources and great potential on AI or artificial intelligence thanks to strong mathematics and IT research as well as local firms’ expansion into AI, said LinkedIn in a report yesterday after the AlphaGo’s winning in a machine-vs-human Go match.
There are totally 250,000 people work and research on AI globally, mainly in the United States, Europe, India and China, according to LinkedIn, the world’s largest business social network.
Besides the eye-catching AlphaGo, the artificial intelligence is already part of people’s lives, from applications used in navigation, Siri and Google Translate to robots deployed in manufacturing and stock-advice software. AI technologies have been evolving steadily alongside the development of the Internet, big data, cloud computing and graphic chips.
The United States has the most AI talents with the top employers Google, developer of AlphaGo, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM and Apple. In China, the top AI employers include Microsoft China, Baidu, Tsinghua University, Huawei and Alibaba, according to LinkedIn.
The gap between US and China is the number of AI talents with experience of more than a decade (50 percent VS 25 percent).
China has great potential on AI with the national policies supporting smart manufacture and robot and leading firms’ investment on it, such as BAT (Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent), Huawei and DJI, the world’s biggest drone maker.
For example, the country’s leading smartphone brand Xiaomi has established special division on artificial intelligence, which becomes one of the strategic business for Xiaomi in 2016, said Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun.
Baidu has already used AI on self-developed driverless cars, which is being tested on roads in Beijing.
AI, with data analysis and automatic response features, has been used in a new system to fight against online finance fraud, said Ye Daqing, CEO of Rong360, a third-party online finance platform based in Shanghai.
China has its unique advantages as strong academic backgrounds on mathematic and physics, a key part of AI research, said LinkedIn.
