Wu Dao 2.0 - Bigger, Stronger, Faster AI From China

It is no secret that China has COVID-19 under control. When you travel there you need to go through a 2-week hotel quarantine but once you are in the country, you are safe. Probably even safer than before COVID as wearing a mask is now part of the etiquette, and the many other viral respiratory diseases are likely to be on the decline. Hence, when I got invited to speak at the annual conference of the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) in the AI for healthcare section, I readily accepted. The BAAI is a great platform for showcasing technology and talent across broad categories.
