According to the New York Times website on February 13, this 28-page English version of the English-language technical expert on artificial intelligence is the most important technical study that the United States may be in the coming decades A direct challenge to leadership in the field.It outlines a Chinese government proactive and spared no effort to regard the development of artificial intelligence as the Apollo 11 mission to China - a program that will also stimulate national pride and, Trigger a technological breakthrough that determines the overall situation.
Elsa Cania, an associate research associate who is involved in translating this declaration and focused on the development of artificial intelligence in China, said: 'It is noteworthy that artificial intelligence has become the top priority of China's leadership and that all The business has started quickly.
According to reports, when China embraced artificial intelligence, at a crucial moment of technological development, the leading position the United States has been occupying has begun to shrink.
For decades, artificial intelligence is not so much a science as fantasy, but over the past few years tremendous progress has prompted billionaires in Silicon Valley, Detroit and some of China's giants to invest in dialogue with people Everything from auto-driving cars to home appliances.
Reported that as ethics discuss how much autonomy should be given to weapons that can be thought independently, artificial intelligence has also become an important part of national defense policy.
American companies such as Amazon and Google do more than any other company in converting artificial intelligence concepts into real products.But due to factors such as the fear that the Trump administration will limit the number of engineers immigrating to the United States, many of the key AI The research is being transferred to other countries, including hot tech cities such as Beijing, Toronto and London.
Reported that for China's increasingly prosperous science and technology sector, to promote the realization of the next big event in the industry ('next big thing' is the mantra in Silicon Valley) is becoming an attractive possibility.
Reported that, with its huge market size and rapid experimentation, China will become one of the artificial intelligence powers, and even the most powerful artificial intelligence power.
Artificial intelligence has been the focus of Chinese technology experts for some time now.China published more research papers in 'deep learning' than in the United States, and deep learning allowed it to learn by analyzing large amounts of data, driving the rise of artificial intelligence One of the key technologies.
It is unclear what the overall Chinese spending in this area is now, but a provincial government in China promised to invest $ 5 billion in artificial intelligence and the Beijing government has pledged $ 2 billion to an artificial intelligence development park in the city. Nearly $ 1 billion has been allocated to this and Canada is home to many of the top researchers in the field, pledging to invest 125 million U.S. dollars, partly to attract new talent from other countries.
Reported that it is difficult to assess the current amount of investment in the United States government is exactly how much.USAIA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the United States National Science Foundation and other government agencies continue to fund new research universities and the private sector according to The Office of Technology Policy reports that the federal government spent about $ 1 billion on this area in 2015. The Trump administration said spending soared to $ 3 billion in 2017. But the administration said it could not match the 2015 statistics Make a viable comparison because it is not certain how the Obama administration calculates it.
'We may have some small initiatives that work well within the government, but we do not have a core national strategy.' Jack Clarke was a journalist and is now responsible for overseeing the creation of Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla. Artificial Intelligence Laboratory OpenAI policy work, he said. "It is puzzling is that we have the technology has so obvious power and value, we do not get full support, including financial support. '
According to a report of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Trump administration's budget for 2018 will cut 15% of the research funding for science and technology within government departments.
'They happen to be in the wrong direction,' said Thomas Khalil, a former Obama administration for technology and innovation at the White House Office of Technology Policy (OSTP). "Since China has placed it as a strategic priority, this is especially true Worrying.
