Chinese President XI Jinping（习近平） said that China must develop, control and use artificial intelligence (AI) to secure the country's future in the next technological and industrial revolution last month. Under the tension of trade war, XI made the comments at a Politburo “group study” session about AI, after the Communist Party's 25-member policymaking body met to decide on a new game plan, saying that China must develop its own AI technology which was important for economic development, social progress and global geopolitics, reported by SCMP.
"AI is a vital driving force for a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and accelerating AI development is a strategic issue to decide whether we can grasp opportunities." Xi was quoted by Xinhua（新华社） as saying.
