Artificial intelligence converges with human ingenuity - SHINE News

Artificial intelligence to many people may seem like a remote idea swirling in the realm of technology eggheads, but it actually is being adapted to many practical areas more familiar to the public. For example, the digital technology is helping protect the priceless ancient Buddhist relics of Dunhuang, improving electricity networks and assisting malaria medical research. The World Artificial Intelligence Conference 2019, which opens on Thursday in Shanghai, won't be focused only on jargon like "algorithms" and "adversarial networks." It will be discussing the ways in which artificial intelligence (AI) is being integrated in daily life, in a range of industries and in the transformation of the economy. The conference also reinforces Shanghai's leading role in the new technology, amid plans to turn the city into an AI global hub of the future.
