HONG KONG -- SenseTime, the Hong Kong-based artificial intelligence startup that has gained renown for its image-recognition technology used in surveillance cameras, is hastening to apply its tech to automobiles and medicine, a co-founder told Nikkei.
"We are not a surveillance company," Wang Xiaogang, the head of research and a founding member of the world's highest-valued AI startup, said in an interview. "We want to become an AI platform that empowers different businesses," he continued, naming smartphones and smart cities as two other target fields.
