Wing Media (http://www.wingmedia.com.cn) is a leading Chinese media content producer with an over 100 million member audience viewing 12 shows over 9 national channels. It’s premier show, “Geek Go”, is the first and only artificial intelligence (AI) TV series in China. The company is currently inviting leading international AI and robotics companies to participate in Season 2 of “Geek Go”, in an effort to pit the best technologies in body, mind, and transport systems against each other to solve some of the world’s largest challenges. This season will build on the successes of Season 1, and on-site shooting in locales in Israel, France and other international markets has already begun. US shooting will begin in September. Wing Media may also choose to invest in such technology companies through a private fund, depending on potential relevance for the Chinese market. 
In particular, we are seeking to identify leading technology companies in the following areas:
1.      Body (Enhanced Vision, Instant Translation, Exoskeleton, Neuroprosthetics)
2.      Mind (Analytics, Wearables, Emotion Detection)
3.      Systems (Self-driving cars, Underwater and Air Drones, Self-driving planes, etc.)
We are therefore recruiting an independent contractor primarily to:
1. Identify up to 40 AI and robotics companies in the above categories based in major US hubs such as LA, San Francisco, and Boston, as well as Europe.
2. Contact and schedule meetings between Wing Media’s CEO, Michelle Yu, and these companies. Travel is therefore required. Initial meetings will take place in early August.
3. Liaise with companies eventually selected to schedule on-site filming crews to produce TV segments September – November 2017.
Wing Media expects this engagement to be ongoing, as the search for the following 2018 season technology companies will then begin in December 2017. Salary will be commensurate with experience and paid monthly. A $5,000 monthly budget will also be included to cover US domestic economy class travel, hotel lodging, meals and related expenses with written prior consent by Wing Media. Flights and hotels will be booked by Wing Media.
Successful candidates ideally will be knowledgeable about the US AI and/or robotics industry, self-starters, highly organized, communicative, accountable, and resourceful. Mandarin fluency is preferred but not required. Video interviews for this position will be conducted with CEO, US senior advisor, and other senior executives.
Interested parties please contact the individual below and include:
  • Your resume and availability
  • One-page statement about how your skills and experience position you well for this opportunity
  • List of 20 US-based AI companies in the categories above that would be appropriate and of interest for a TV audience
