The executive said that Foxconn Group has established an artificial intelligence R & D team, but the staff is not enough, but also need to recruit more talent.

Foxconn’s head, Guo Taiming, also announced that it will set up an artificial intelligence application and industrial Internet research institute, and set up industrial robot research institutions in Shenzhen, Taipei and the United States.
