Quotable quotes from the World Artificial Intelligence Conference

Yao Qizhi, Turing Award winner, academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences

The progress and applications we see today are actually from basic science. These basic sciences are all rooted in basic theories. So it has become apparent to us we should break through in theoretical innovations, especially in AI fields.

I'd like to share with you a basic concept, that is current applications come from past theoretical research. So current theoretic research will get us huge progress some day in the future.
