SHANGHAI will launch a fund of about 100 billion yuan (US$14.6 billion) for developing the artificial intelligence industry, the city government said on Monday.

“Shanghai needs to seize the opportunity that the AI industry has created, and take full advantage of the city’s abundant resources in scientific research, talent, data, and policy support to implement more new AI technologies,” said Ma Chunlei, deputy secretary-general of Shanghai municipal government.
The three-day WAIC 2018 is set to conclude today. Themed “A New Era Empowered By Artificial Intelligence,” the event is seen as an opportunity to boost AI development for both China and the world.
