With mismanagement and lack of visionary leadership and innovation, its contributions could reduce to a single one: a big zero.

The country is becoming a hub for global AI development. Five priorities can help China harness AI for productivity growth and prepare for the societal shifts it may unleash.

Submitted by -filhon on Tue, 12/05/2017 - 10:54
