AI technologies key for China in fight against pandemic

Zhou Shuchun, publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily, said during the pandemic a host of AI technologies have come to the fore, becoming key for China in the fight against the virus.

"AI has become a major driving force for the new round of technological and industrial revolution. It is profoundly changing the way people work, live and learn and pushing human society toward an intelligent era of human-computer cooperation, cross-sector collaboration and joint creation and sharing," Zhou said at the 14th Vision China event, titled "Intelligence New Era: Innovation, Energization and Ecology".

In particular, Zhou noted Tianjin is a pioneer in AI city construction and has become a leader in China's AI development. The intelligent technology industry gives a strong impetus for Tianjin to achieve high-quality development.
