    AI doesn’t become intelligent on its own. It takes a lot of human labor to tag everything we human want it to learn. “I used to think the machines are geniuses. Now I know we’re the reason for their genius.” - How Cheap Labor Drives China’s A.I. Ambitionshttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/25/business/china-artificial-intelligence-labeling.html …

        Smartest piece I've read in the New York Times about Artificial Intelligence. Li Yuan understands that the power of AI is generated from humans. The caption couldn't be more apt for the 21st century. "Hou Ximeng runs a data factory out of her in-laws's former cement factory."pic.twitter.com/x7z6aXh9qc

        I'm sooo sorry about the typos and the misspelling in that. Embarrassed. I was going too fast.

        Those in denial about - and finding it difficult to accept - China's AI successes often attribute it only to a "safe" factor, like cheap labor, rather than more concrete, contextual reasons like sound government policies or entrepreneurship. Jealousy masquerading as journalism.

        Because we are at the stage of narrow AI. Doing one thing really well. But careful when machine is starting to master general AI which is what deepmind has been focusing on. It applies what it learned in the previous domain to a new domain.

        And AI is developing on a double exponential growth with both hardware and software. See this. 500x times improvement on ImageNet training just in about 2 years.https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1063334554482536454 …

        Nice comparison table in the paper showing the wall clock time to 75% accuracy, over time. He et al. was CVPR 2016, so this is ~2-3 years to go 30 hours -> 3.7 minutes (~500X) 🔥 pic.twitter.com/XI4qHF6OfV

        NYT never cease to amaze me. Always able to find negativity of anything related to China and spin on it. Next time they will probably write how 1.3 billion people's breathing are causing climate change.

        This is an encouraging story. To see China committed to drive AI should be perceived as a model for electing future governments.
