Shanghai: new artificial intelligence hub

Shanghai is striving to build itself into an artificial intelligence hub as the city explores further applications of the technology. Last December, the city issued an implementation plan on AI developments in key areas such as education, healthcare, manufacturing and urban management. For an initial batch of scenarios launched in the plan, Shanghai received more than 170 solutions from around the world. The city introduced its second batch in July, with 28 solutions from international enterprises. According to statistics, Shanghai has attracted more than 1,000 core AI enterprises and more than 3,000 AI-related companies, with about 100,000 employees in the sector.
