Industry experts often focus on China when looking for examples of success. According to foreign media kr-asia, China has the world's most valuable artificial intelligence company, which involves computer vision, drones, speech recognition, speech synthesis and machine translation. With the support of huge investment and favorable government policies, China's artificial intelligence market is expected to grow by 75% in 2018.

In the latest survey of Southeast Asian companies, 37% of local companies plan to use artificial intelligence technology in the next five years. In the process, they can learn valuable lessons from China, such as focusing on practical applications, big data applications, benign market competition and government support.
