ANGELA MERKEL, Germany's chancellor, has a reputation for being dour. But if she wants to, she can be quite funny. When asked at a recent conference organised by Ada, a new quarterly publication for technophiles, whether robots should have rights, she dead-panned: "What do you mean? The interview was also striking for a different reason. Mrs Merkel showed herself preoccupied by artificial intelligence (AI) and its geopolitics. "In the US, control over personal data is privatised to a large extent.

The following is an interview with Daniel Wagner, ahead of the release of his new book, AI Supremacy: Winning in the Era of Machine Learning. Can you briefly explain the differences between artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning? Artificial intelligence (AI) is the overarching science and engineering associated with intelligent algorithms, whether or not they learn from data. However, the definition of intelligence is subject to philosophical debate-even the terms algorithms can be interpreted in a wide context. This is one of the reasons why there is some confusion about what AI is and what is not, because people use the word loosely and have their own definition of what they believe AI is. People should understand AI to be a catch-all term for technology which tends to imply the latest advances in intelligent algorithms, but the context in how the phrase is used determines its meaning, which can vary quite widely. Machine learning (ML) is a subfield of AI that focuses on intelligent algorithms that can learn automatically (without being explicitly programmed) from data.

IEEE Spectrum: Why do you believe that China will soon match or even overtake the United States in developing and deploying AI? Kai-Fu Lee: The first and foremost reason is that we've transitioned out of an era of discovery--when the person who makes the discovery has a huge edge--and into an era of implementation. The algorithms for AI are pretty well known to many practitioners. What matters now is speed, execution, capital, and access to a large amount of data. In each of these areas, China has an edge. That's why I began the book by talking about China's entrepreneurism.

The investment will be made via SoftBank's Vision Fund which has used some of its $100bn of capital to acquire stakes in tech firms such as Uber and Indian digital payments firm Paytm. According to a report in the Financial Times, the new JV is designed to expand the technology side of ZhongAn's business which has increasingly focused on blockchain and artificial intelligence-based projects. ZhongAn was launched in China in 2013 by PingAn Insurance and e-commerce firms Tencent and Ant Financial as a digital-only insurer. However, while ZhongAn has attracted more than 300m customers it has failed to generate a profit due to the small margins involved in its insurance business. It reported a $95.40 million loss for the first half of 2018 Consequently it has sought to expand the technology side of its business.

The number of job postings featuring "artificial intelligence" or "machine learning" in their description has doubled since 2015, according to global jobs website Indeed.com and New York is becoming the capital for jobs related to artificial intelligence or A.I. Samsung just announced the opening of an A.I research center in NYC. Serkan Piantino who works with Facbook, started his own company called Spell Inc. and explained to Crain's New York what his goal is. "AI tools can be built for anyone, not just computer engineers", is the concept behind his startup. Facebook itself has an A.I research center in New York City which employees over 1000. They are researching how to improve MRI's with NYU researchers.
