What is the development status and trend of artificial intelligence?

In recent years, China's artificial intelligence industry has shown a good momentum of vigorous development. First, some key application technologies, especially image recognition and speech recognition, are at a relatively advanced level in the world, and the total number of artificial intelligence papers and the number of cited papers are also in the first echelon, which is relatively high in the world. Second, the overall strength of the industry has been significantly enhanced. There are more than 1000 artificial intelligence industries in China, covering technical platforms, product applications and other links, and a relatively complete industrial chain has been formed. The pattern of rapid development of artificial intelligence industry in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other regions has been formed. Third, the application of integration with the industry continues to deepen. With its powerful empowerment, artificial intelligence is becoming an important driving force for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. New intelligent technologies, new models and new formats are constantly emerging in various fields, and the radiation spillover effect is also increasing. The fiery concept of artificial intelligence has promoted the rise of many industries, such as domain names, and many related top-level domain names have been registered. However, we should also see that in the process of rapid development, the basic technology of artificial intelligence in China is still lacking, and few can really create commercial value. The integration of traditional industries and artificial intelligence still has a high threshold. According to statistics, this year's investment and financing in the field of artificial intelligence has also decreased significantly compared with the previous two years, especially last year.

The application of artificial intelligence in China has the characteristics of wide fields and deep penetration, and it has unique advantages in industrialization, but it also faces great challenges, especially in basic theories and algorithms, and the foundation is weak in high-end chips, key components and high-level talents. With the accelerated development of global artificial intelligence, countries will continue to make breakthroughs in cognitive intelligence, machine learning and smart chips.
