China is making significant strides in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and robotics, signaling a growing technological prowess. Huawei is reportedly developing new AI chips, the Ascend 910D, aiming to rival Nvidia's high-end processors. These chips are undergoing testing with Chinese tech companies, and early samples are expected as soon as late May. This move aims to diminish reliance on foreign technology and support China's growing AI ambitions, especially given the restrictions placed on sales of advanced Nvidia products to China.
Chinese scientists have also made advancements in quantum technology with the development of a drone-mounted quantum sensor capable of detecting submarines. This sensor, utilizing a Coherent Population Trapping atomic magnetometer, addresses limitations of traditional magnetic anomaly detectors in low-latitude regions. Offshore trials near Weihai, Shandong province, demonstrated the system's high accuracy and stability in detecting minute changes in Earth's magnetic field, presenting possibilities for underwater resource mapping and military applications. Further testing in harsher conditions is needed before operational deployment.
President Xi Jinping has emphasized the need for self-reliance in AI development. At a Politburo meeting, he called for increased support in research, talent training, and intellectual property protection. He also urged for strengthening basic research and key technologies like high-performance chips and basic software. Additionally, he pushed for expediting AI laws and regulations to ensure safety and control, highlighting China's commitment to closing the AI gap through homegrown innovation. Simultaneously, in the realm of robotics, China is emerging as a serious contender, demonstrated by the recent humanoid robot half-marathon, showcasing progress in humanoid robot technology and the country's manufacturing and engineering capabilities.
