Mathematician is not the solution for AI development, money wasted for Huawei. Top notch programmer that can be trained into AI [excellent in different kind of thinking skills] top notch programmer is the key. Math is logical thinking; every step must be right to go to the next step. Well, if concept or idea to be developed in the first step is irrelevant/little important/wrong, then solution could not be reached. The problem here is how far/stubborn one has to go before one gives up the search for the solution and starts from the alternative. Foresight vs hindsight ,先見之明 vs 事後諸葛亮 thing. I would like to think Huawei CEO does not realise he is an AI thinker, dare to think something outside the box and develop that idea concretely. If AI model can think emotionally in addition to think by definition one after another. Then that model is above other model.
