The New York Times reported that China “laid out a development plan on Thursday to become the world leader in A.I. by 2030, aiming to surpass its rivals technologically and build a domestic industry worth almost $150 billion.” The July 20, 2017 report entitled “Beijing Wants A.I. to Be Made in China by 2030” included these details on the plan:
