Pudong New Area has become a leading hub for AI talent in Shanghai, according to a new report released on Dec 7.

Pudong accounts for 40 percent of Shanghai's AI industry output and has the city's largest AI talent base, said the report on Pudong's AI talent development trends in 2024.  

By the end of 2023, Pudong had more than 600 key AI companies, and the output value of AI-related industries had surpassed 140 billion yuan ($19.2 billion), said Xia Yuzhong, deputy director of the Pudong New Area Science and Technology and Economic Commission. 

The report highlights China's position as a global leader in the AI sector, with Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen serving as key hubs for talent. 

It also underscores a talent shortage in the sector, which has a strong demand for highly educated professionals with practical experience.

Pudong will focus on humanoid robotics and domain-specific large models to drive innovation and growth, Xia said.

The report was released at the Artificial Intelligence Industry Talent Forum, a sub-session of the 2024 Pudong International Talent Hub Forum.
