Today   

Welcome to 'Today' - an hour of world news and analysis -- from a different perspective. I'm Suyi

Coming up：

The Chinese government has just unveiled a national artificial intelligence development plan, laying out its ambitions to build world-leading technology.The plan is setting the target of China becoming a major center for AI innovation and leading the world in AI technology and applications by 2030.The plan specifies¹ goals for AI development including creating an open and coordinated² system for AI sci-tech innovation, fostering a high-end intelligent economy, building a safe and convenient society, as well as the upgrading of infrastructure³ for Internet, big data and computers.There's been a lot of debate about whether China, not the US, is now leading the global development in artificial intelligence.Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu -- the top three Chinese tech firms -- are all investing heavily in AI research.But at the same time, some industry insiders are suggesting the supply demand ratio of China's AI-related sectors⁴ runs at 1:10, which means there is a huge demand gap here. It's been estimated the demand gap could be as much as 5 million.

For more on this, CRI's Suyi is now joined in the studio by Liu Chunsheng, associate professor of central university of finance and economics, on the line we have Sun Tao,senior director of strategy and research department , Ant Financial;Liu Shaoshan, co-founder and chairman of board of PerceptIn, a company providing robotic and autonomous⁵ driving solutions.
