While typically fashion has nothing to do with math, this 17 Y.O. fashion student from China showed quite the opposite by beating over 500 AI teams and her own teacher.

Alibaba’s math competition attracted more than 563 teams from all around the world, including participants from such prestigious places as MIT, Stanford or Princeton while for the first time this year, it allowed artificial intelligence to assist with solving questions.

When Jiang first discovered the Alibaba math competition, she didn’t have much confidence in herself, but still wanted to try her luck. Wang Runqiu, a math teacher at the vocational school, who ranked 125th in the contest, was the one who encouraged the girl and helped her join the competition.“She is a self-disciplined girl. When her classmates are playing around, Jiang Ping spends all her spare time studying math,” Wang shared.

Although the U.S. is considered to be leading the AI race, the best 3 AI teams were from China: Shanghai Jianping High School, Southwest Jiaotong University, and Renmin University.
