Ding is a researcher at the University of Oxford who has now published 48 issues of his insightful ChinAI newsletter. Four out of Ding's five points are likely to remain true through at least 2019. The odd one out is number four: AI research, in the near future, may no longer be an area of active China-U.S. collaboration.
