AI scientific Policies in China – Idees

Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved into a new era, and its rapid development will profoundly affect the everyday life of citizens worldwide. Countries around the world are establishing governmental strategies and initiatives to guide the development of AI. The Chinese government is using the development of AI as a major strategy to enhance national competitiveness and protect national security. In January 2016, the Chinese State Council released the 13th Five-year Plan on National Science and Technology Innovation, explicitly putting forward the guidance, general requirements, strategic mission and reform measures for Chinese science and technology innovation. Over the next five years, smart manufacturing will be one of the major missions of the "Science and Technology Innovation 2030 Project" and there will be a focus on the development of AI technology.
