According to different studies and reports, China is leading the way in the adoption of generative AI. Several factors contribute to this leadership in generative AI adoption, including:
Government Support: The Chinese government has made AI a national priority, investing heavily and launching strategic efforts to advance AI technology and applications in a variety of sectors.
Major Chinese technology businesses: including Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei, are significantly investing in AI research and development. These firms are pioneering advancements in generative AI, which is driving its rapid adoption. China has a thriving startup ecosystem, with several AI-focused businesses pushing the envelope of generative AI technologies and applications.
Data Availability: The huge amount of data generated in China provides a significant resource for training AI models, including generative AI systems, to improve their performance and capabilities.
Public-Private Sector Collaboration: In China, the public and private sectors work closely together to create a climate suitable to fast AI development and implementation.
These reasons contribute to China’s dominant position in the global generative AI ecosystem
China is dominating the world in generative AI adoption, according to a new poll, the latest indication that the country is making progress in the technology that grasped global attention after U.S.-based OpenAI’s ChatGPT launched in late 2022. In a poll of 1,600 decision-makers in sectors around the world conducted by U.S. AI and analytics software company SAS and Coleman Parkes Research, 83% of Chinese respondents stated they employed generative AI, which powers ChatGPT.
This was greater than the other 16 countries and regions questioned, including the United States, where 65% of those surveyed stated they had used GenAI. The global average was 54 percent. The industries studied were banking, insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail, and energy. The findings highlight China’s quick success in the generative AI area, which gained steam after Microsoft-backed OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022, driving hundreds of Chinese companies to produce their own versions.
Business use of generative AI in China is expected to increase as a price war drives down the cost of massive language model services for companies.
China is the world leader in continuously automated monitoring (CAM), which it describes as “a challenging but popular use case for generative AI tools.”
