China Answers | How will China unleash innovation vitality for all in the new era of AI?

"AI clearly is one of the main drivers of innovation, and so there is a need for everybody to cultivate the talent," said Fausto Giunchiglia, professor at University of Trento, Dept. of Information Engineering and Computer Science, while joining in the latest edition of China Answers with China News Network.

The resolution adopted by the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on further deepening reform comprehensively to advance Chinese modernization at its third plenary session stated that China will improve the mechanisms for nurturing domestic talents. The country will also intensify efforts to build a skilled workforce with strategic expertise, focusing on cultivating science strategists, top-notch scientists and innovation teams. Speaking of the scientific innovation, professor Fausto raised his question on how China will cultivate AI talents.

In response to Professor Fausto's question, Yin Ximing, associate researcher at the School of Management in Beijing Institute of Technology, stated that China should implement dual transformations both in systematic and talent-training mechanisms. By deepening the reform of the scientific and technological system, the country can stimulate the vitality of innovation and creation, involving everyone in the innovation and development of AI technologies.
