How AI is booming in China

China correspondent

He went in his hands, eight -year -old Timmy muttered himself as he tries to overcome a robot supported by artificial intelligence in chess.
But this was not a showroom or a laboratory of artificial intelligence – this robot lived on a coffee table in Beijing’s apartment, along with Timi.
On the first night she returned home, Timmy embraced his friend’s little robot before heading to bed. He has no name for that – yet.
The boy said: “He is like a young teacher or a young friend,” where he showed his mother about the next step he was thinking about the chess panel.
Moments later, the robot rose in: “Congratulations! You win.” Rounded eyes on the screen, I started rearranging the pieces to start a new game while continuing in the Mandarin: “I have seen your ability, I will do better next time.”
China adopts artificial intelligence in an attempt to become a high -tech power by 2030.
Dibsic, Chinese Chatbot penetration This caught the world’s attention in January, just a hint of this ambition.
The money flows into the work of Amnesty International is seeking more capital, and feeding local competition. There are more than 4,500 companies developing and selling artificial intelligence, and schools in Capital Beijing offer Amnesty International Elementary and Secondary Students’ courses later this year, and universities have increased the number of places available to students studying artificial intelligence.
“This is an inevitable trend. We will coexist with artificial intelligence,” said Mom Timi, Jan Shyo. “Children should know this as soon as possible. We should not reject it.”
She is eager for her son to learn both chess and the GO strategy game – the robot alike, which convinced her that her price of $ 800 was a good investment. Creators are already planning to add a program for language science.

Perhaps this was what the Chinese Communist Party was hoping when he announced in 2017 that artificial intelligence would be the “main driving force” of the country’s progress. President Xi Jinping is now very betting, as the slow Chinese economy is struggling with the blow of definitions from its largest commercial partner, the United States.
Beijing plans to invest in Chinese 10TN Yuan ($ 1.4 trillion; 1tn pounds) in the next 15 years as it competes with Washington to obtain the edge in advanced technology. Funding artificial intelligence has obtained another batch in the annual political gathering of the government, which is currently taking place. This comes in the wake of the investment fund from the Yuan I6 Investment. A billion yuan was created in January, a few days after the United States tightened the export controls for advanced chips and put more Chinese companies in a commercial list.
But Dibsic showed that Chinese companies can overcome these barriers. This was astonished by Silicon Valley experts and industry experts – they did not expect China soon to catch up.
Dragon race
It is a reaction, Tommy Tang used to do so six months after his chess robot in various competitions.
Timmy’s Machine comes from the same company, Senserobot, which provides a wide range in capabilities – Chinese government media praised an advanced version in 2022 overlooking Grand Master in the game.
“Parents will ask about the price, then they ask where I am. They expect me to come from the United States or Europe. They seem to be surprised that I am from China,” Tang said with a smile. “There will always be a second or two seconds of silence when I say I am from China.”
His company sold more than 100,000 robots and now has a contract with a major American supermarket chain, Costco.

One of the secrets of engineering success in China is its youth. In 2020, more than 3.5 million country students graduated with scientific degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as STEM.
This is more than any other country in the world – and Beijing is keen to benefit from it. “Building force in education, science and talent is a shared responsibility,” said party leaders last week.
The Shanghai -based Vice President of Whalesbot, a company that makes Amnesty International, a company that manufactures Amnesty International, a company that manufactures Amnesty International Games, a company that manufactures Amnesty International Games, a company that manufactures Amnesty International games, a company that makes AI games, since China has opened its economy to the world in the late seventies of the twentieth century, since China has opened its economy The world has in the late 1970s, which is “through the process of accumulating talent and technology”, a company that manufactures Amnesty International. “In this era of artificial intelligence, we have a lot of engineers, and they are working hard.”
Behind it, a dinosaur made of stained colored bricks in life. It is controlled by the code collected on a seven -year -old smartphone.
The company is developing games to help children who do not exceed three symbols. Each bundle of brick comes with a booklet of code. Children can then choose what they want to build and learn how to do this. The cheapest game sells about $ 40.
“Other countries have Amnesty International educational robots, but when it comes to competitiveness and smart devices, China is working better,” Mr. Liu insists.
On the success of Deepseek CEO of Liang Wenfeng to a national hero “and” deserves 10 billion yuan of ads [China’s] Artificial intelligence industry, “added.
“I have told the audience that artificial intelligence is not just a concept, and that it could already change the lives of people. It has inspired the curiosity of the audience.”
Six local artificial intelligence companies are now named, including Deepseek, called Six Little Dragons on the Internet – others are Robotics Unitree, Deep Robotics, Brainco, Science Game, and ManyCore Tech.

Some of them were at the Amnesty International exhibition recently in Shanghai, where the largest Chinese companies at work showed their progress, from search and rescue robots to a posterior dog -like stomach, which wandered in the halls among visitors.
In a single noisy exhibition hall, two teams of human robots fought in the football game, complete in red and blue shirts. The machines fell when they clashed – and one of them until the stadium was removed in a stretch by their human therapist, which was keen to keep the joke continuous.
It was difficult to miss the atmosphere of excitement between the developers in the aftermath of Dibsic. “Deepsik means that the world knows that we are here,” said Yu Jinggi, 26 -year -old.
“Putting annex with knees”
But as the world learns about the capabilities of Amnesty International in China, there are also concerns about what the Chinese government allows the Chinese government to identify its users.
Amnesty International is hungry for data – the more intelligent, the more intelligent, with about one billion mobile phone users compared to more than 400 million in the United States, Beijing has a real feature.
The West, its allies and many experts in these countries believe that the data collected by Chinese applications such as Deepseek, Rednote or Tiktok can be accessed by the Chinese Communist Party. What refers to the country’s national intelligence law as evidence of this.
But Chinese companies, including Bytedance, which owns Tiktok, says the law allows the protection of private companies and personal data. However, the doubt that the US user data on Tiktok may end in the hands of the Chinese government. Washington’s decision to ban the very common application.
This fear itself – where the concerns of privacy meet the challenges of national security – hit Dibsic. South Korea is banned New downloads from DeepseekWhile Taiwan and Australia have it Preventing the application from the agencies issued by the government.
Chinese companies realize these sensitivities and Mr. Tang was quickly telling the BBC that “privacy was a red line” for his company. Beijing also realizes that this will be a challenge in its attempt to be a global pioneer in artificial intelligence.
The commentary in the state’s daily Beijing indicated that “Dibsic’s rapid rise led to hostile reactions from some in the West,” adding that “the development environment for Chinese artificial intelligence models is still very uncertain.”
But artificial intelligence companies in China are not deter. Instead, they believe that the Thrifty innovation will win an indescribable feature – because Deepseek’s claim that it could compete Chatgpt for a simple part of the cost that shocked the artificial intelligence industry.

So the engineering challenge is how to make more, for less. “This was our mission impossible,” said Mr. Tang. His company found that the automatic arm used to move chess pieces was very expensive to produce them and will lead the price to about $ 40,000.
Therefore, they tried to use artificial intelligence to help do engineers’ work and enhance the manufacturing process. Mr. Tang claims to pay the cost to $ 1,000.
He says, “This is innovation.” “Artificial engineering has now been combined into the manufacturing process.”
This can have enormous effects because China applies artificial intelligence widely. Government media has already displays factories full of human robots. In January, the government said it would enhance the development of humanitarian robots in Amnesty International to help care for its rapid population.
Xi has repeatedly declared “technological self -reliance” a major goal, which means that China wants to create its advanced chips, to compensate for the American export restrictions that may hinder its plans.
The Chinese leader knows that in a long race-the daily Beijing newspaper warned that Deepseek’s moment was not time for “artificial intelligence victory” because China was still “having a knee”.
President Xi invests extensively in artificial intelligence, robots and advanced technology in preparation for Marathon who hopes China will eventually win.
