Beijing Is Getting a $2.1 Billion AI District

MIT Technology Review  January 4, 2018
China is gearing up to build a technology park in Beijing entirely dedicated to the development of artificial intelligence. The endeavor is just the latest sign of China’s remarkable ambition to master and dominate artificial intelligence by 2020. The plan will apparently establish a “national AI research center” and will include efforts to form partnerships with foreign research institutions and companies. China’s AI masterplan seems to have been inspired, in part, by the the U.S. government report at the very end of the Obama administration, PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
