The Chinese government is investing billions of dollars to promote the development in the field of artificial intelligence. Chinese companies are also investing billions of dollars for startups in Silicon Valley and in the development of AI in local areas. It is expected that by 2020 China’s progress in the application and technology of robotics will be at an advanced level in the world, while it’s artificial intelligence industry will make a significant impact on its economic growth rate. In July 2017, China announced that it is expected to be a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence by 2030 with an industry potentially worth 150 billion dollars [15]. By now, China hopes to have achieved vital progress in next generation AI technologies, together with massive knowledge, swarm intelligence, hybrid increased intelligence, and autonomous intelligent systems. At that time, the worth of China’s core AI trade is targeted to exceed a hundred and fifty billion RMB (over $22 billion) in value, with AI-related fields valued at one trillion RMB (nearly $148 billion). At the same time, China is advancing in gathering high-quality talent and establishing initial frameworks for laws, ethics, and policy.

Dr. Cameran Ashraf, an assistant professor at Central European University who researches the geopolitics of internet censorship and cyberwar, said in The Defense Post that “China is very likely to remain highly competitive in the AI space by 2030, and barring substantial geopolitical instability will be a global leader in AI and cyber warfare” [15].

As reported in the PLA Daily, the Chinese army has created a lifelike golem mannequin, complete with a pulse and beating heart, to assist in training its medics to treat tract wounds. The medical robot named “Warrior” shown in Figure 3.2 is even ready to provide medics feedback on how well they’re treating the injuries and is provided with over thirty sensors to assist in simulating over three hundred tract injuries [32].
