In China, the fight for AI supremacy starts with the young
Elementary and middle school students confidently tap at computers in the office of Chinese game and e-commerce giant NetEase in Hangzhou, southwest of Shanghai. The children are in a five-day training camp where they learn about artificial intelligence. The company began holding the 5,000 yuan ($740) study sessions during school holidays a few years ago. This one was fully booked soon after the company started taking applications. It's part of a broader push in China to develop a cadre of AI engineers that can challenge U.S. dominance in high technology.
