"Nature": China launches AI war for talents and grabs people with the United States
(Original title: "Nature": China is fighting for AI talent competition)
Reporter Fang Linlin
“The Chinese government recently announced that it will spend 13.8 billion yuan to build an artificial intelligence (AI) industrial park in Mentougou, Beijing. This is the first major investment the Chinese government plans to become the world leader in this field by 2030." On the 16th of January (Beijing time), Nature magazine’s official website published a review article entitled “China's Fight for AI Talent Competitionâ€, paying attention to the shortage of Chinese AI talent.
The article quoted David Weiff, chief researcher of the Microsoft Research Institute in Beijing, as saying: "The future of AI will be a contest between data and talent." "To become a global AI leader, China will need a large and high-level AI talent team to do it. support."
The article points out that Chinese AI companies are advancing at a dazzling pace. At least five companies are developing facial recognition technologies, including Sence Candle ime and Face++. Both companies are in Beijing, and both have invested more than one billion U.S. dollars in 2017. Many AI companies are working hard to recruit researchers. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology estimates in 2016, China needs 5 million AI workers to meet the development needs of the industry.
The number of experienced AI talents around the world is very small, but Chinese companies must also compete with talented multinationals such as Google, which actively recruit in China. Some people worry that the high salary conditions given by Google and others have a lot of temptation for university researchers.
Zhang Xiaodong, dean of Wuzhen Research Institute, an artificial intelligence think tank, said: “This is a battle for talent. Whoever can achieve the best results will win.†He disclosed that experienced AI talents are at the social media giant Tencent or Baidu can get a salary of 1 million US dollars or more. "This was unthinkable five years ago."
The article stated that in China, accomplished AI industry veterans are scarce resources, but China has a large number of smart, hard-working graduates in computer science disciplines who have expertise in machine learning and other AI-related fields.
In 2004, Peking University opened the nation's first AI undergraduate program. Since then, more than 30 universities have also offered similar courses. Part of the reason why Microsoft set up a research institute in Beijing was precisely to hire outstanding graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University. Last month, Google set up its own AI research center in Beijing to attract these talents.
"Indeed, many outstanding graduates have left China and become researchers at the American or Israeli AI labs." The article gives evidence: In December last year, at the seminar held at New York University in Shanghai, most of the participants were working on U.S. university experiments. Chinese researchers at the lab or industrial laboratory.
The article is concerned that in July last year, the State Council of China issued an artificial intelligence roadmap calling for strengthening artificial intelligence education in primary and secondary schools. Online AI training courses are also becoming more and more popular. “The enthusiasm for learning artificial intelligence is very high,†said Zhang Jiang, a professor of artificial intelligence at the School of Systems Science at Beijing Normal University. However, according to Wuzhen Research Institute, China still lags behind the United States in most AI indicators, such as private investment and the number of patents.
When he was interviewed by a reporter from the Science and Technology Daily, Ali Yun, vice president of Alibaba Cloud, lamented that in the early days of the founding of New China, there was also a battle for talent. Although there was no generous treatment and high venture capital, a large number of scholars resolutely returned home and made great contributions. "National sentiment" is driven by the drive.
“In contrast, this AI competition for talent, China can give the same treatment, the wind investment is not inferior, may grab more talent. But pay attention to the purely profit-seeking behavior of people returning. When returning to China, people must land, things must be grounded, and their hearts must fall to land in China."
Regarding the necessary scientific literacy of Chinese AI talents, Wan Wanli believes: “Without mathematics, it is only AI practitioners. To be an AI researcher or even to become a leader requires a solid mathematical foundation.â€

CKB currency is the brand new upgrade of this small mining coin in the sales market in 2020. The first mining machine to release this currency is developed by Toddminer, a team of ToddMiner. They became interested in the new Nervos project in early 2019, and immediately invested their scientific research energy when the Nervos team released CKB's Eaglesong optimization algorithm. After 2 years, ibelink finally developed a 32T KDA machine emperor, and the price is affordable compared with KD6, cost-effective and stable pressure tube over KD6 head, and there are two ways to convert freely, emerald green way calculation rate is only 22T, but the function loss is reduced to 1850w, customers can choose the different way according to their own situation. As a new star in the mining circle, iBelink company's new implementation of BM-K1,BM-N1 is obligatory. BM-K1 mainly mines KDA coins, with a calculation rate of 5300G, a functional loss of only 800W, and a daily profit of 300+. And BM-N1 went up with 6.6T calculation rate to kill the small ant K5, ranked first.
