PressTV-2019 Global Artificial Intelligence, Robotics Summit kicks off

The 2019 Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics Summit kicked off on Friday in China's Silicon Valley, Shenzhen - a city in south China's Guangdong Province, gathering together many AI bigwigs to discuss the future of AI. Thousands of young engineers keen to hear and learn from the pioneering scholars attended the opening ceremony. "Although we're in the top front-tier of AI as we are working at universities, but you still can feel that it's an eye-opening experience for many audiences here," said Wu Haifeng, associate professor of Chinese University of Hong Kong Shenzhen. From virtual assistants on smartphones and in cars, to facial recognition cameras in airports and on streets, AI has become a maor part of our lives in just a few short years. The passionate developers at the summit are evidence of China's explosive AI industry growth.
