00:00A new take on man's best friend.
00:05This four-legged robot has been trained with large-scale A.I. models.
00:09It's one of many innovations on display at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference
00:14in Shanghai.
00:15It can get up on its two hind legs and adjust the way it walks.
00:20We use a large amount of data to train it for A.I.
00:24The way it moves has changed a lot from how it used to be.
00:28It's more flexible and it's more like a real animal.
00:35This robotic head is among the other tech on display.
00:39It can mirror human expressions and costs 24,000 U.S. dollars.
00:44These innovations come despite a tense tech rivalry between China and the U.S., fearing
00:50American money would fund advanced tech for the Chinese military, Washington restricted
00:55U.S. investments in China for A.I., semiconductors and quantum computing last year.
01:01But CEOs here in Shanghai say they haven't felt a difference.
01:05So far, it hasn't had a big impact on us, because we've used O-Rin, a robot chip,
01:14and that part of it is no longer limited.
01:19American tech giant NVIDIA is set to make 12 billion U.S. dollars selling A.I. chips
01:23to China this year, despite them being less powerful than the chips they can sell in the
01:29U.S.
01:30The firm's Taiwan-born CEO, Jensen Huang, came under fire in China just months ago after
01:35hailing Taiwan as one of the most important countries in the world at Taipei trade show
01:40Computex, referring to Taiwan's crucial role in the global electronics industry.
01:47Here in Shanghai, over a thousand A.I.-related products are on display, proving Chinese engineers
01:53are moving forward with what they've got and narrowing the innovation gap between China
01:58and the U.S.
