TRAINING CHINA'S COMPUTING MUSCLE
China has the world's second largest amount of computing power, and that number is likely to grow as tech giants like Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and Huawei invest in building up China's computing muscle. But what will businesses do with all this power? Future technologies, like artificial intelligence, need a lot of computing power--much more than what's required by current digital business models. Enterprises will have to identify the critical problems that computing power can help them tackle and solve. FORTUNE talks with the founder of Alibaba Cloud to learn more about how China's computing power can do for industry.
