I feel so lucky in my choice of career

Peng Bowen, 25, will join an AI company after leaving college later this year.

I am studying for a master's in communication technology, and will leave the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in Chengdu, Sichuan province, in the summer.

However, my field of research at university has little to do with my future work in the artificial intelligence sector as an algorithm engineer with Pony.ai, a startup in Beijing that makes self-driving cars.
