谷歌宣布在中国成立人工智能研究中心

Google pulled some of its core businesses out of China seven years ago.
七年前谷歌(Google)将一些核心业务撤出了中国。
Since then, as China's online scene has grown and prospered, the American search giant has been looking for ways to tiptoe back in.
从那以后，随着中国网上景象的发展繁荣，这家美国搜索巨头一直在寻找悄悄回到中国的方法。
On Wednesday, it unveiled a small but symbolically significant move toward that end: a China-based center devoted to artificial intelligence. The move nods to the country's growing strength in A.I., thanks to substantial government funding prompted by Beijing's ambition of having a say in the technologies of the future.
周三，谷歌公布了一个规模不大但具有象征意义的、朝着上述目标迈出的一步：公司将成立一个致力于人工智能（简称AI）的中国中心。北京有在未来技术领域拥有发言权的野心，这种野心推动了中国政府的大力投入，让国内在人工智能领域展现出日益增长的实力。谷歌此举是对这种实力的认可。

Google said the center would have a team of experts in Beijing,where the company has hundreds of employees in research and development, as well as other roles. The center will be led by Fei-Fei Li, who runs Stanford University's Artificial Intelligence Lab and leads the artificial intelligence arm of Google's Cloud business, and Jia Li, the head of research and development for the A.I. division of Google Cloud.
谷歌表示，该中心将在北京拥有一个专家团队，谷歌已在北京有数百名从事研发和其他工作的员工。谷歌AI中国中心将由李飞飞和李佳领导。李飞飞是斯坦福大学人工智能实验室的负责人，领导着谷歌云业务的人工智能部门；李佳是谷歌云业务的人工智能部门研发主管。
The Silicon Valley company, which announced the center's opening at a software developer conference in Shanghai, cited China's growing academic and technical contributions to the A.I. field, and said the new center would be "working closely with the vibrant Chinese A.I. research community."
在上海举行的一个软件开发者大会上，这家硅谷公司宣布了成立该中心的决定。谷歌在宣布中提到，中国在人工智能领域的学术和技术方面的贡献不断增加，并表示新中心将“与中国活跃的人工智能研究界紧密合作”。
"The science of A.I. has no borders," Fei-Fei Li said in a post on Google's website, and "neither do its benefits."
“人工智能科学没有国界，”李飞飞在谷歌网站上的一篇文章中写道，“其带来的好处也没有国界。”
