Chinese State Council Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence

The Chinese government's wish-list for AI researchers is pretty ambitious: "Breakthroughs should be made in basic theories of AI, such as big data intelligence, multimedia aware computing, human-machine hybrid intelligence, swarm intelligence and automated decision-making." They'll get right on that, I'm sure. A common technology system should be developed based on algorithms, data and hardware. Technologies in the system include a computational knowledge engine, swarm computing, virtual reality modeling and natural language processing. Innovation platforms should be constructed, such as an open-source computing platform, which can promote coordination among different hardware, software and clouds.
