= AI in China = Al technology comes under computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals. The leading position of AI in China are focusing on computer vision, speech recognition, AI chip, intelligent finance, intelligent medical technology and other mature or widely used scenarios in the circuit. Progress in AI hardware has change networks dramatically.

AI technology
China's research efforts in artificial intelligence (AI) began later than the U.S. and Europe. 'In the late 1980s and 1990s, an emphasis on research in Chinese natural language processing took hold. With the establishment of basic research funding to include AI research and development (R&D) in 1986, two agencies—the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), which supports basic research, and the 863 Program (State High-Tech Development Plan) for applied research—began funding diverse AI-related research topics, such as hardware and software for intelligence, human-computer interaction (HCI), intelligent application systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics. After 2000, China's Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), NSFC, other central government agencies, and local governments including Beijing, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou, increased funding tremendously to facilitate the new AI boom. Not only government-supported academic research, but also industry very active in AI exploration .' Chinese published more AI researches paper than US for serval years, the published is rapidly as this trend continue, two nations might produce an equal share of top AI publications in 2020.

The current application of AI in China
AI in China research in industry labs is generally more business oriented, such as online payment, social network and gaming. Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei, those technical giants are actively investing in AI research and related development, the companies improve their algorithms and systems to optimise. Autonomous vehicles, facial recognition and certain kinds of drones are part of the leading technology in China, especially capabilities in image and facial recognition are possibly the best in the world. One of the reasons might be the policies, the government could organise data from bank, mobile phone companies. Also, online payment platforms such as WeChat pay and Alipay are unique capabilities in China. Therefore, it provided an advanced platform for the rapid introduction of further AI technologies. However, China's AI capabilities have limits, such as advanced semiconductors to support machine learning applications, the supply of semiconductors, are depended on other counties like USA.

China is one of the countries that the government being planned and guide to test 5G technologies. China is aiming to launch commercial 5G service in 2019, bringing one year ahead its original schedule. It will put her among one of the first markets to launch 5G services, along with the US, Korea, Australia, and the UK. China’s 5G capex will amount to RMB1.5 trillion (US$223 billion) between 2019 and 2025.

Chinese government is using facial-recognition software to “track and control” a predominantly Muslim minority group and using the cameras to identify the Uighurs. China appears to be the first country to use the systems explicitly for racial profiling. It seems to use the information to monitor the persecuted group and for racist social control, people worry about other governments could adopt similar practices. Though it might one of the ways for Chinese government to crackdown on the Muslim, it could cause fear of the government increase.

Positioning Chinese AI technology
According to the research from MIT technology comparing AI in the developing world, with how they use AI to improve agriculture yields infant health care, and entrepreneur earnings. In Kenya and South Africa, the company use AI to predict crop yields base on some conditions such as soil moisture, shifting weather patterns. Helping the local famers to make better decision and expand their operations and so on. In India, AI doing analysis of pest trap in cotton farms, identify the amount and types in order to guide the farmers appropriate pesticides to apply that base on the statement. Also, AI are used to improve infant health care in India, estimate the newborns. In order to mediate the case of low birth weight that avoid baby dead during the first year or lifelong health problems. Comparing with those developing countries, AI in China has reached across multiple industries not only health care but also industrial, energy, financial services, since more than 80 percent of Chinese companies are willing to active in AI. In July 2017, The State Council of China released the “New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan” (新一代人工智能发展规划). This policy outlines China’s strategy to build a domestic AI industry worth nearly US$150 billion in the next few years and to become the leading AI power by 2030 .U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is spending the most on research and development at $2 billion over five years. In contrast, Shanghai, which is a city government, is planning to spend $15 billion on AI over 10 years; since Chinese government's eagerness to support the technological advancement were key reasons it could build infrastructure such as cloud computing and a software engineering workforce, and become a big player in artificial intelligence. One of the most important roles of AI in USA is maintaining the economic and national security.

Looking into the future
As the development of technology, it might rapid advances in AI. As the AI's industry growth will start to explode, it not only influencing on businesses but also businesses. The marketplace of AI industry revenue might increasing, by 2020 the revenue of AI industry might more than double compare with 2015 that has the potential to claim a total market cap of USD 120-180 billion. It pushes the boundaries of automation and AI is into our life, it might cause Unemployment problem since AI is more efficiency in productivity than human being especially for low-skills and predictable jobs. However, it provided the opportunities for employees upgrade their skills and focus on creative aspects in order to avoid AI instead of their profession.

In 2030, 5G technologies might reduce 8 million unemployed population and 6.3 trillion yuan($947 billion) worth of economic output.
