Cloud and AI set to expand into other sectors

As China upgrades its economic structure and integrates technology, artificial intelligence and cloud technologies will expand into the agriculture, manufacturing and service sectors, industry officials said in a tech conference today in Shanghai.

An ecosystem of AI, big data and cloud can offer integrated services that will cover finance, retail, manufacturing, transport and agriculture sectors, participants told the ABC Summit held in Shanghai. The integrated services include smart customer service, service robots and automatic driving. 

During the conference, Intel showed its applications in finance, transport and video content analysis using AI and cloud technologies.

Shandong-based Inspur, which takes 57 percent of China’s server market, released an all-in-one server with optimized AI features by partnering Baidu.
