China’s first artificial intelligence (AI, 人工智能) theme park opened to the public in November, 2018, after 10 months’ renovation(整修) of Haidian Park in Beijing. It is free to the public, allowing anyone to check out the park’s AI devices(设备), Xinhua reported.
Haidian Park covers about 34 hectares near the 4th Ring Road. It received about 1.2 million tourists in 2017. The district government of Haidian and the Internet company Baidu signed an agreement in January to jointly explore the “smart city” building. Haidian Park was chosen to run the pilot programme.
Visitors can travel around the park on driverless buses. There is also a running road that has cameras at its starting point, midway point, and finishing point that can record health data when you run on it. The data include travel distance, time, heartbeat and pulse(脉搏). You can collect this data by following the park’s official WeChat account.
You can learn t’ai chi by practising in front of a screen in the park. Cameras record your movements and compare them with the teacher’s to help you improve.
“It’s hard to imagine that elderly people like me could have such a technological experience,” Mrs He told People’s Daily. Her husband made a video while she was practising t’ai chi.
In recent years, many Chinese hightech companies have set foot in the AI industry. The central government stressed that it would make the development of the country’s new generation of artificial intelligence become better and moresuccessful.
