If the U.S. blacklisting of China's budding artificial intelligence companies is aimed at thwarting their progress, we already are starting to see the limits to that strategy. A strong signal came this week when Megvii Technology, a Beijing-based AI firm on the U.S. blacklist, made moves to test the IPO waters in Hong Kong. Numerous media reports said the company, known for its facial-recognition platform Face, is seeking to raise $500 million to $1 billion in a listing that is imminent. The move follows the early success of Alibaba's (NYSE: BABA) secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that may raise as much as $13 billion next week. The HKSE was the world's top bourse for IPOs last year, supplanting Nasdaq, and looks primed to win that race again this year despite the civil unrest there. Last month the U.S. Commerce Department added to the list of Chinese AI companies banned from buying U.S. products or importing American technology.

What can artificial intelligence do for physics? And what will it do to physics? In the past two years, governments all over the world have launched research initiatives for Artificial Intelligence (AI). Canada, China, the United States, the European Commission, Australia, France, Denmark, the UK, Germany – everyone suddenly has a strategy for "AI made in" whatever happens to be their own part of the planet. In the coming decades, it is now foreseeable, tens of billions of dollars will flow into the field.

Machine learning technologies and techniques are giving organizations powerful new ways to utilize the vast amounts of data they're collecting. According to several reports, ML spending is increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 25%. That's benefitting vendors providing ML solutions, which appears to be mostly cloud vendors outside of the HPC segment. According to Zion Market Research's July report, the global market for ML was valued at $1.6 billion in 2017 and is expected to account for $20.8 billion in spending by 2024, which translates into a rather healthy 44% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). That was the outlier in a recent roundup of ML market reports. Market Reports World came up with a similar number in its global tally on ML spending.
