SenseTime, which has been valued at over $7.5 billion, is considered one of the leading AI start-ups in China, with a focus on computer vision and deep learning technologies. As the company seeks to solidify its position in the market, it will be interesting to see how it addresses the challenge of retaining its top talent amidst the fierce competition in the AI industry.
