Shenzhen aims to lead AI for science race by leveraging unique innovation economy

The global race to leverage artificial intelligence for scientific discovery is intensifying, with a focus shifting from model size to accelerating the entire research cycle. The United States' Genesis Mission, in partnership with Japan, exemplifies this trend by integrating national laboratories into a unified discovery platform. China is also investing heavily, with Beijing and Shanghai outlining ambitious plans for AI-driven scientific infrastructure and applications. Shenzhen has a unique opportunity to lead in this domain by capitalizing on its strong R&D intensity and close integration of research, engineering, and commercial deployment, rather than merely replicating existing strategies.
