China’s Race To Become An Ai Superpower

China has declared its ambition to become the world’s premier artificial intelligence innovation center by 2030. To achieve this, the country has advantages such as a large pool of skilled workers, a vast amount of digital information, and relaxed regulations for data protection in cases of national interest. Additionally, Chinese consumers are the world’s biggest users of smartphones, voice recognition software, and virtual assistants. However, US trade sanctions and a brain drain of the best engineers may impede China’s progress.
