> Of the more than 850,000 AI engineers across America, 7.9 percent are Chinese, according to a 2017 report from LinkedIn.

850,000 sounds way way too high.

I've seen recruiters at companies I've worked for throw AI/ML/Vision on job postings that have nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, to do with AI, Statistical Machine Learning, or Computer Vision.
