State of AI: Artificial Intelligence Standardization White Paper by The China Electronics Standardization Institute (CESI)

These white papers detail China's progress and challenges in artificial intelligence (AI) standardisation. The first examines AI's history, key technologies (machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing), and proposes a comprehensive standardisation framework for its burgeoning AI industry, highlighting successful applications. The second (2021 edition) focuses on the current state of AI development in China, identifying shortcomings in underlying technologies and data management, while advocating for accelerated integration with the real economy and further standardisation efforts, illustrating this with case studies of AI applications in diverse sectors.
