The lack of high-quality data and shortage of hi-tech talent are preventing wider adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in China, which has become the world’s second largest market for the technology amid a tech and trade war with the US.
China, which has laid out plans to become the global AI leader by 2030, is projected to have an AI market worth US$11.9bil (RM49.5bil) by 2023, up from an estimated US$4.5bil (RM18.7bil) this year, despite those issues, according to the 2019 China AI Development white paper that was jointly released on Friday by technology research firm International Data Corp (IDC) and Chinese tech media outlet Qbitai.com.
