largest cargo hop sends and receives over eight million containers a year most of which reach the port by truck the hyperloop plans offer a network of low pressure chips that allow the containers to travel at high speed without clogging up streets leading to higher efficiency and a smaller carbon footprint the joint venture calls the installation of a test tube and development of a standardized carrier. when it comes to the use of artificial intelligence or a.i. china is surging ahead investment in the sector growing from one hundred seventy million dollars to hit over one point three billion dollars within the next two years now it promises to make the country easier to run safer help doctors and patients and control traffic an entire city administrations some see it as big brother with a credit system penalizing over awarding citizens based on their behavior sometimes it's pretty tricky to draw

a line between the benefits all the threats of artificially intelligent systems. the in for vision start up in beijing is at the forefront of a medical revolution its employees use for artificially intelligent algorithms to help doctors identify illnesses like lung cancer more accurately and faster. after studying in the u.s. in for vision's founder chen kwan made a point of returning to china. i think the lack of good doctors is actually more severe in china i can see there are so many patients in china and we have. a larger and larger demand for medical services beyond medicine china is investing massively an artificial intelligence district in high tech metropolis gens then has become the first to install a so-called brain it's huge monitor portrays data collected from local authority sensors and all public closed circuit cameras the administration hopes ai will help

it analyze the flood of data to make the city safer and run more efficiently parliament well done woman that's really where the brain health is to see what's happening in every corner of our district it helps us to judge situations quickly and to react to them it's to make people's lives and work more pleasant than that and. at the touch of a screen the monitors display information about all the districts building such as how many people live there and how accessible they are intelligent cameras sound the alarm in the event of any emergencies of course there's only a very thin line between running a smart city and wielding totalitarian control two hundred million cameras are said to be monitoring china's citizens with more being mounted every day and they're becoming increasingly smart one company's video shows what's already reality the smart cameras keep tabs on vehicles numberplates models and colors while tracking them through the city and compiling movement profiles citizens can be checked against data banks within seconds suspects identified behind windshields traffic

offenses like not wearing seat belts or using a phone whilst driving are increasingly penalized swiftly and automatically via text message to mobile phone medical companies also profit from a deluge of health related data from gigantic hospitals something which companies in many other countries can. only dream of chen kwon says in for vision takes data protection seriously but the rules in china are more relaxed. i think there's actually an advantage for any ai development to have easy access to anonymize data i think that will be a very critical factor in the future development of a i think china aims to be the world leader in artificial intelligence by twenty thirty and many analysts think that's a likely outcome as well. to uganda now where tensions have been growing between slowly gand and traders and chinese businesses that are operating in the country now the growing competition has stoked local resentment including protests
