演讲摘要：

Artificial Intelligence has achieved great success and given high people hopes for a more efficient and better society. However, the development of AI has met some major challenges. Chief among the challenges are issues related to the availability of the Big Data. In many practical scenarios, high-quality big data is hardly available. The society demands more governance on the data, especially in light of the recent events related to user privacy. In this talk, I will present these challenges and explore some potential solutions for addressing these challenges.
