"We use the term cognitive technology because the computer in the future will have some element of human being characteristics," said Chen. "Understanding, reasoning, learning."

Artificial intelligence is becoming more common in the latest tech, as well as cloud computing. This is part of the reason when experts say, the future won't make us more like our devices, but our devices more like us.
"The system itself will be able to understand," added Chen. "And it will also be able to interact with people."
AI technology will be applied in various fields such as driverless technology.
Companies like IBM, Microsoft and others have much to gain by making China even more technology-savvy. Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent calls for further Internet integration reflect his vision to bolster China's economic and manufacturing potential. Chen said that the data solutions on the way will create unlimited opportunities in nearly all Chinese sectors.
"Government data, education data, utility data, energy data, medical data, all the data. It’s a time of opportunity, you know, for everybody."
