This would leverage their chip arrays and use brute force rather than making individual processors more powerful.<br \/>\nChina seeks self-reliance on AI<br \/>\nReuters reported on April 26, citing state media reports, that Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged \u201cself-reliance and self-strengthening\u201d to develop AI in the country.<br \/>\n\u201cWe must recognise the gaps and redouble our efforts to comprehensively advance technological innovation, industrial development, and AI-empowered applications,&#8221; Xi said at a Politburo meeting study session on April 25.<br \/>\nDonald Trump (left) meeting with Xi Jinping (right) in 2018 at the G20.
