Li Jun, CEO of Dawning Information Industry Co Ltd To be at the forefront of the global technological competition, we need to gear up and innovate in core sectors, as well as develop basic disciplines and scientific research in cutting-edge technologies, such as the artificial intelligence sector. China used to lag behind leading countries in computers and the internet fields. However, today we are gradually catching up with those countries in several emerging industries, including the mobile internet, AI and big data technologies. And we even have become a global leader in some specific fields. Particularly, China has huge application scenarios, such as healthcare and education. In the future, we need to use big data, AI and Internet Plus strategy to solve problems around the application scenarios and social development. And then we will see technological advances and the digital economic development.
Chen Tao, rotating president of iFlytek President Xi’s speech shows that China has attached importance to core information technologies and the country is accelerating steps to make breakthroughs in them. Cheetah Mobile has always focused on innovations in core technologies, including artificial intelligence, and hopes to build a well-rounded technology chain in its robot products.
