ASEAN Media's View on Digital China Media Tour members experience advanced tech

The media members also visited the Guangdong Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy (Shenzhen) in Guangming district. The laboratory is one of the third batches of provincial laboratories approved by the Guangdong provincial government, and is one of the top 10 provincial laboratories in the province.

The laboratory is dedicated to promoting Shenzhen as a national and even global hub for artificial intelligence and digital economy innovation research and industry clustering, and will concentrate on four research directions: blockchain and financial technology, machine learning and intelligent systems, intelligent sensing and precision medicine, and ubiquitous perception and smart cities.

The laboratory is expected to have around 200 researchers by the end of this year.

The tour provided a platform for ASEAN media to learn about Shenzhen's achievements in digital economy and smart city construction, and to promote communication and cooperation between China and ASEAN in these fields.
