Chinese State Council Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence

The State Council has issued a guideline on developing artificial intelligence (AI), setting a goal of becoming a global innovation center in this field by 2030. The total output value of artificial intelligence industries should surpass 1 trillion yuan ($147.80 billion). A mature theory and technology system should be formed. Developing AI is a "complicated and systematic project" according to the guideline. An open and coordinated AI innovation system should be constructed to develop not only the technology, but also products and market.
