A technology park dedicated to developing artificial intelligence (AI) will be built in Beijing in five years, authorities said.

The park will be in a suburban district in western Beijing, covering 136 acres, Beijing News reported, citing a plan released by authorities.

With an estimated investment of about $2.1 billion, the park is expected to attract about 400 enterprises, with an estimated annual output value of about $7.7 billion.

The park will focus on developing areas such as super highspeed big data, cloud computing, biometric identification and deep learning. Its technological infrastructure includes a fifthgeneration mobile network, a super computer and cloud services.
