China has achieved remarkable progress in the field of artificial intelligence — proof is its second position in the Artificial Intelligence Innovation Index for the third straight year, trailing only the United States. So, more efforts should be made to consolidate the gains made already and aim for the top slot next, domain experts said after reviewing a report released at a key industry event.
The report was released at the sixth World Artificial Intelligence Conference — WAIC, as it is called — that opened on Thursday in Shanghai and will close on Saturday. The WAIC has become an important innovative platform for the global AI industry,” said Xu Xiaolan, vice-minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, during the opening ceremony.
