China opens national AI pilot base in Nanjing for steel
Technology
China just opened a new national artificial intelligence (AI) pilot base in Nanjing, focused on bringing artificial intelligence into the steel industry.
It's part of the country's broader efforts to promote the technology, helping move smart technology from the lab to actual factories, and China has laid out ambitions to aggressively adopt AI in its new five-year policy plan.
Pilot base builds AI for steel
This pilot base is all about building AI tools and testing them out specifically for steel production: think custom data sets and models that can make factories smarter and more efficient.
China's doing similar projects in other big industries like electricity, finance, and health care, showing they're serious about weaving AI into everyday life.
