Sundar Pichai, chief executive officer of Google, expects China to play a crucial role in artificial intelligence as he keeps expanding the search giant’s workforce in the country, even as many of its services are blocked. 

“China is already playing a big part in how AI will shape our futures,” Pichai said at the annual China Development Forum in Beijing. “When we build together we get to better ideas faster.”
