Google is deepening its push into artificial intelligence (AI) by opening a research centre in China, even though its search services remain blocked in the country. <\/p>\n

Google said the facility would be the first its kind in Asia and would aim to employ local talent. <\/p>\n

Silicon Valley is focusing heavily on the future applications for AI. <\/p>\n

China has also indicated strong support for AI development and for catching up with the US.<\/p>\n

Research into artificial intelligence has the potential to improve a range of technologies, from self-driving cars and automated factories to translation products and facial recognition software. <\/p>\n

In a blog post on the company's website,<\/a> Google said the new research centre was an important part of its mission as an "AI first company". <\/p>\n

"Whether a breakthrough occurs in Silicon Valley, Beijing or anywhere else, [AI] has the potential to make everyone's life better for the entire world," said Fei-Fei Li, chief scientist at Google Cloud AI and Machine Learning. <\/p>\n

The research centre, which joins similar facilities in London, New York, Toronto and Zurich<\/a>, will be run by a small team from its existing office in Beijing. <\/p>\n

Strict rules<\/h2>\n

The tech giant operates two offices in China, with roughly half of its 600 employees working on global products, company spokesperson Taj Meadows told the AFP news agency.<\/p>\n

But Google's search engine and a number of other services are banned in China. The country has imposed increasingly strict rules on foreign companies over the past year, including new censorship restrictions.<\/a><\/p>\n

China has for many years censored content it sees as politically sensitive, using an increasingly sophisticated set of filters that critics have called the "great firewall".<\/p>\n

At the same time, China has been expanding its push into artificial intelligence. <\/p>\n

Last week, the country's President, Xi Jinping, urged senior officials at a key Communist Party meeting to "accelerate implementation of big data".<\/p>\n

In July, China announced its national plan for AI<\/a>, calling for the country to catch up with the US.<\/p>\n

But its advances in this area have sparked concerns. Human rights groups are among those troubled by China's use of artificial intelligence to monitor its own citizens.<\/p>\n

Addressing the meeting of Communist Party officials late last week, President Xi reportedly emphasised "the necessity of using big data to improve governance".<\/p>\n
