TAPPING THE AI TALENT POOL
He added that China has the world’s largest share of AI professionals.  ,
Every month, there are about 3.7 million STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics ) graduates in China, said Fang. The United States, in contrast, produces 800, 000.  ,
” Annually, China publishes the highest amount of AI scientific papers in the world, more than the US”, he added. ” But, in terms of highly-cited documents, the US takes the top position, and China is minute”.
However, China is losing to the US at the top end of the AI skills pool.
A 2022 review found that among the leading 2 per cent of AI skills widespread, only 12 per cent operate in China, whereas 57 per cent function in the US.
It is still a step up from 2018, when China was not one of the major economies.
While China trails the US in high-end AI research, it is making great strides in applying Artificial in real-world cases.
China has a number of benefits, including its enormous client base and huge data sources, which” can be fed into the algorithm to make it more precise and accurate,” according to Patrick Liu, a scientist at Roland Berger Strategy Consultants.  ,
” The more information you have, the more precise and accurate your product may be, which means it may obtain better business performance”, he told CNA’s East Asia Now.
“( Then, ) you would attract more consumers to use your product, which in turn generates more data to feed into your algorithm, ( making ) it a positive cycle”.
