What happens when AI experts from Silicon Valley and China meet

Check out the AI Conference in Beijing, April 10-13, 2018. Hurry--early price ends March 9. Having traveled to China several times over the last few years, I can attest to the strong interest in applications of AI among technologists, business leaders, and policy makers. China is adopting AI tools and technologies at a rapid pace, and since current AI systems rely on large data sets, startups are able to start using AI tools much earlier (a startup in China can quickly have many millions of users). People in the West are curious about the progress of AI research and business models in China. On the flip side, having organized a couple of large conferences in Beijing, I also know that people in China want to hear from AI experts outside their country.
