Artificial intelligence in China is facing unprecedented development opportunities and has many advantages in terms of development. Let us make a few considerations in this regard. Significant progress has been made in the IT environment and the technological level of human society between big data, cloud computing and the Internet, which are closely related to AI and have developed quickly. AI has started to have a significant impact on the structure of human society and the dual human-machine environment is gradually developing into the third human-machine-intelligent machine environment. The cooperation and coexistence of humans, machines and intelligent machines will become the new normal of the social structure. Such harmonious coexistence is hopefully not only a need for social development, but also provides a distinct place for AI.

It is hard to believe a bullet train is piloted by a human in the cockpit. Would you let this person take over the train at 300 miles/hour? In such a technologically advanced world, critical industrial processes such as inspections are inefficient, costly, and wasteful. Countries are aware of their inefficiencies; according to a study by the International Monetary Fund, countries waste about one-third of their infrastructure spending due to inefficiencies. As digital technologies are integrated into business processes and workflows, McKinsey estimates that could lead to a two percent productivity boost, on average, per year over the next decade.
