Major AI event in China to open online in June

The fourth World Intelligence Congress, a major AI event in China, is set to open online in June in north China's Tianjin Municipality, local authorities said Saturday.

With the theme of "Intelligence New Era: Innovation, Energization and Ecology," the event originally scheduled for April will open next month due to the COVID-19 epidemic outbreak, said Wei Guangyong, deputy director of the Tianjin Municipal Development and Reform Commission, at a press conference.

In the previous WICs in 2017, 2018 and 2019, about 300,000 visitors from both home and abroad gathered in Tianjin to discuss the world's frontier trends in intelligent technologies.
