Military artificial intelligence, computer vision and medical tech fields lose leading minds to accidents or illness. AI is at the heart of the US-China tech war, with Chinese firms such as DeepSeek challenging American dominance.
But while China has a growing AI talent pool and home-grown success stories, the country has also lost a handful of leading figures in the crucial sector. The early deaths of these experts – due to accidents or illness – have raised concerns about the personal safety of those in the industry and the stressful research environment they face.
The South China Morning Post has compiled a list of top AI scientists who died at a relatively young age, most of whom were in their scientific prime and had made discoveries in key areas such as computer vision, military artificial intelligence and medical AI.
