Vladimir Putin, the Russian President is quoted as saying, “whoever becomes the leader in (AI) will become the ruler of the world”.Barack Obama, the former POTUS saw it coming and published the US National Artificial Intelligence R & D strategic plan in 2016 - it was lost on the incoming POTUS Donald Trump who promptly shelved it. Thus there is currently no road map for AI strategic Development in the US even though she is the leader in AI but not for long for want of a strategy.Countries outside the US who are more aware of AI’s potential are Russia, Canada and UAE. Even the UAE saw the importance and established a new portfolio for a Minister of AI in 2017. Given the investment by the state and its tenacity, China however will emerge as the leader in AI in the next decade.In 1978, China’s Deng Xiaopeng started it on its journey to reform and transform from a closed agricultural economy to an international industrial powerhouse - from cheap labour climbing up the learning curve by transfer and imitation of technologies. In 2006, in the National Medium and Long Term Plan for the development of Science and Technology, notice was given that China would become an innovative nation.The ‘Made in China’ by 2025 was the broad policy brush which strategized that China was not to become a leading industrial power producing imitation and cheap mass produced goods. Instead it was to become an innovative producer of high quality products. It is expected that AI will increase efficiency and precision across the technology spectrum, increase the wealth of societies and the means of administrating national security. The assimilation of AI into society will not be easy as it will roil the labour market by reducing head counts (industrial, manual group of workers), and take away human control over critical decision making nodes (managerial positions). Nations which adopt, adapt, develop and deploy AI, early, will reap greater incremental gains in productivity, enlarge its spheres of influence and make changes to the global balance of power. The aims of achieving a more innovative economy, a modern military and enabling China to expand its influence globally will be achievable.The turning point for China’s road to AI was in 2016, when AlphaGo the AI program developed by Google DeepMind defeated Lee Sedol, the best professional player in the Go board game. This inspired in July 2017, the Chinese Govt published a road map for national development called the Next Generation AI Development Plan (AI Plan) which proposes for China to develop AI in 3 major milestones. By 2020, China will catch up with the Westp/existing AI state of the art technology; by 2025, China will overtake the West; by 2030 China will become the AI top dog. In December 2017, the MIIT, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology drew up a detailed AI development plan for the period 2018 to 2020.Money had already been provided for introduction of teaching AI in primary schools and nurturing talents in tertiary institutions (a giant campus for an AI university in Beijing was established in Jan 2018). Industry was encouraged to venture outside China to set up R&D centers to attract overseas talents especially newly minted PhDs to synergistically share research findings resources in AI, semiconductors, robots, weapons, quantum computing etc. Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent were corralled together to form the AI national team to help developed new products. To this end Baidu set up a R&D Centre in Silicon Valley while Tencent put up a R&D Centre in Seattle. Military aspects (eg AI equipped guns, stealth camouflage, kinetic energy rail guns, high power lasers and radars capable of detecting stealth fighters etc) of more use to the PLA were spin offs and cherry picked from civil or joint research efforts with civilian contractors/local universities. In this way China hoped to leapfrog and shortened the lead time for results in AI research. Also with the incoming of Trump, as POTUS, some of the AI research by US Govt initiatives or its contractors, initiated by Obama was downsized which presented opportunities to mop up talents and acquire facilities for the Chinese.During the period 2018 - 2020, 4 major tasks were established; 1) a Plan was formulated with concrete milestones to develop smart products over 8 categories which include among other things , networked vehicles (autonomous driven vehicles), intelligent service robots (aging population?), video imaging identification system, neural chips, intelligent manufacturing and public intelligent support system, 2) In 2017, the Ministry of Science and Technology issued requests for tenders of 13 transformative technologies, 3) Recognizing its weakness in hardware (semiconductor design) and software, it called for the development of core technologies such as an AI chip more powerful than that from US Nvidia , and software development that will fully exploit such hardware breakthroughs, 4) Because of the closer ties between the state and Chinese private companies, the execution of the AI Plan becomes an all-country effort and key to success to realizing national strategic goals to fruition would be national acceptance and an intelligent internet.China has the world’s largest number of near-homogenous (by language, culture, habits) users of smartphones and therefore algorithms on AI (eg facial recognition and e-wallet) is rendered more accurate by the sheer size of its data points.In conclusion, with the political will and national acceptance and embrace of AI in alignment with the thinking, planning and execution by President Xi and his politburo there is every likelihood that China will become the top nation in AI by 2030 or even earlier.Ref: How China Is Dominating Artificial IntelligenceRef:https://chinapower.csis.org/china-research-and-development-rnd/
