On 20th July 2017, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) published the ‘New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan’. The plan outlines China’s ambition to become a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030, with a domestic AI industry worth in excess of $ 150 billion.
At the European Chamber’s second edition of our annual Artificial Intelligence Conference on Tuesday 27th November 2018, an array of speakers from academia and industry will discuss current trends in the application of AI in autonomous driving and flying, facial recognition and virtual private assistants, as well as recent breakthroughs in research related to AI and machine learning.
