China plans to nurture more AI talent

A new project recently has been implemented by the Ministry of Education, leading venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures and Peking University. Under the plan, China will nurture more than 5,000 students and 500 teachers in AI from top universities within five years and aims to build the world's largest AI talent training program. About 300 students and 100 teachers will first be trained this year with senior experts from China and abroad serving as mentors, such as John E Hopcroft, an A.M. Turing Award winner and professor at Cornell University as well as Li Kaifu, chairman and CEO of Sinovation Ventures. The move came after China's top authorities called for accelerated efforts to strengthen AI research as well as train a new generation of talents during this year's two sessions.
