Why Attend
For a technology strategist or AI research lead, PRICAI offers a direct, first-hand view of the AI research emerging from China and the wider Asia-Pacific region — work that often reaches English-language trade press late or not at all. Because it covers all areas of AI rather than one niche, three days here give a broad picture of where regional labs are investing, and a practical way to find university partners and research hires in Guangzhou and across the Pacific Rim.
