China brings AI to high school curriculum

@machinelearnbot

China was late to the last industrial revolution, but with the arrival of AI it is determined not to miss the next one. The Chinese government is introducing a textbook called "Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence" to 40 high schools, according to the South China Morning Post. It describes the history of AI and how the technology can be applied in areas like facial recognition, autonomous driving, and public security. Last year, the central government asked the country's education policy makers to include AI courses in primary and secondary schools. The nine-chapter book was penned by an all-star lineup, including the chairman of one of the world's most valuable AI startups, SenseTime.
