China to overtake US in AI research

Artificial intelligence is the next powerful weapon global economies are running after. Amidst the race to be the number one when it comes to AI power, China appears to have overachieved its own goal.

The Chinese government published a paper in 2017, outlining its plan to become the world leader in AI by the year 2030. However, according to a new study, the country is soon set to overtake the US and become the global number one, a decade ahead of schedule.
