What is the future of artificial intelligence?

1. Market size: China’s artificial intelligence industry is showing rapid growth

The artificial intelligence industry is the core of the development of intelligent industries and the basis for the development of other intelligent technology products. In recent years, China The artificial intelligence industry is showing rapid growth driven by both policy and technology. According to calculations by the Digital Research Center of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the scale of China's artificial intelligence industry in 2020 will be 303.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.1%. The growth rate of China's artificial intelligence industry exceeds that of the world.

Note: The market size of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology is calculated based on IDC data. The statistical caliber is consistent with IDC, that is, it includes software, hardware and service markets.

2. Competitive landscape: China’s artificial intelligence companies are mainly distributed in the application layer, accounting for more than 80%

——China’s artificial intelligence companies have a complete industry chain layout

As a region with good development in the field of artificial intelligence in the world, our country’s enterprises are involved in the basic layer, technical layer, and application layer of the field of artificial intelligence, as well as the hardware products, software products and services of artificial intelligence. In China, excluding vertical companies such as iFlytek, the three giants that have really made progress in artificial intelligence are still Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent.

——China's artificial intelligence companies are mainly distributed in the application layer, accounting for more than 80%

According to the "China New Artificial Intelligence Development Strategy Research Institute" released in May 2021 According to data from the "Generation Artificial Intelligence Technology Industry Development Report (2021)", as of the end of 2020, the layout of China's artificial intelligence enterprises focuses on the application layer and technology layer. Among them, the number of application layer artificial intelligence companies accounts for the highest proportion, reaching 84.05%; followed by the number of technology layer companies, accounting for 13.65%; the number of basic layer companies accounts for the lowest, accounting for 2.30%. The high proportion of application layer companies shows that the development of China's artificial intelligence technology industry is mainly driven by application needs.

3. Technology distribution: The core technologies of Chinese artificial intelligence enterprises are mainly big data and cloud computing

From the perspective of the distribution of core technologies of artificial intelligence enterprises, the proportion of big data and cloud computing The highest, reaching 41.13%; followed by hardware, machine learning and recommendation, and service robots, accounting for 7.64%, 6.81%, and 5.64% respectively; followed closely by the Internet of Things, industrial robots, speech recognition and natural language processing, and graphics The proportions of image recognition technology are 5.55%, 5.47%, 4.76%, and 4.72%.

4. Subdivided fields: The field of deep neural networks is a hot spot in China's AI research

According to the "Artificial Intelligence" jointly released by the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Tsinghua University and the Knowledge Intelligence Joint Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Engineering "Intelligent Development Report 2011-2020", the top ten AI research hotspots from 2011 to 2020 are deep neural networks, feature extraction, image classification, target detection, semantic segmentation, representation learning, generative adversarial networks, semantic networks, collaborative filtering and machine translation .
