In the global battle for artificial intelligence (AI) supremacy, only a handful of countries and companies are in serious contention. The small club of leading national players include China, Russia, the United States, Israel, Japan and South Korea, while primarily Chinese and American companies lead the pack of commercial contenders. These include Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, Amazon, Facebook and Google.
What distinguishes all of them is the amount of resources they have put into research and the achievements they have already made in the AI arena. And they are poised to leap further and further ahead of those who are lagging behind or have not yet even entered the race.
