Now you know who to turn to for help 😆

An AI-powered program developed by Microsoft Corp. has surpassed the average level of the top players in a recent competition in Japan, Harry Shum, executive vice-president of the company’s artificial intelligence and research group, said in Shanghai on Thursday.

China plans to be a world leader in artificial intelligence by 2030When Google’s AI computer program AlphaGo beat Chinese Go master Ke Jie in May 2017, that was widely seen as the Sputnik moment that spurred China to seek dominance in the AI industry. Microsoft’s lighthearted presentation in Shanghai was delivered after US President Donald Trump’s call to ditch their investments in China. Trump said in a tweet last week that he was prepared to use emergency powers to force American companies to cut ties with China.
