Afterward, they will have a strong hold on surveillance systems, driverless cars, autonomous weapons, and wide-ranging internet services.

Back in July 2017, the Chinese disclosed their strategies to become the superpower in the field of Artificial Intelligence. They planned to establish an A.I. industry having a worth of $150 billion to its economy up to the year 2030. In this regard, two Chinese cities assured to finance $7 billion. Moreover, other countries governments like Britain, Canada, South Korea, and France also committed for considerable investments in this regard.

The Defense Department of the United States speeded its effort to embrace Artificial Intelligence by shifting its annual budget worth of $75 million to a new office which is responsible for developing these technologies. The project also backed by other government agencies while several artificial experts show their worries that the significant talent in the U.S. is switching its services towards private companies like Amazon and Google. In 2017, this theory empowered when Google started a project to build Artificial Intelligence for the Pentagon when the workers protested that they are using such a technology which could be favorable for fatal purposes.
