Officials and executives in Guangdong, China’s southern manufacturing and tech hub, on Friday vowed to expand artificial intelligence across its $2 trillion economy, a day after Beijing launched an “AI plus” strategy to embed the technology throughout the economy.
They made the comments at an event discussing a new government work report and five-year policy blueprint that, for the first time, puts AI-driven industrial upgrading at the centre of economic growth.
