China is rapidly catching up with the United States in the field of algorithms, Shen Xiangyang discusses the current state of AI competition.

Foreign Media: Former Microsoft AI Chief Says China Is Rapidly Catching Up With the U.S. in Algorithm Field

Shen Xiangyang, former head of Microsoft's Artificial Intelligence and Research Department and a renowned computer scientist, said that although China is still behind the U.S. in artificial intelligence (AI) chip technology, it is rapidly narrowing the gap in the algorithm field.

Shen Xiangyang pointed out that AI competition mainly includes three aspects: chips, algorithms, and applications. He believes that the U.S. has a "clear" lead in chip technology, and the chip production gap China faces "cannot be closed within one or two years."

To address challenges in computing power, he suggested that China should focus on breakthroughs in algorithm engineering. He mentioned that China is "closely following" in the field of algorithms.
