Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the global technology industry and the key drivers of change, relying on strong technical accumulation and innovation, is to further the release of enormous energy.
Supported by the policies of various countries, led by large artificial intelligence manufacturers, artificial intelligence continues to be deeply integrated with various application scenarios, spawning a large number of new technologies, new formats and new models.
Recently, a well-known consulting firm Sullivan released a report entitled "2019 China-US Artificial Intelligence Industry and Vendor Evaluation". The report analyzes the similarities and differences of the current development of the Chinese and American AI industries from multiple perspectives, and summarizes the latest AI industry. development trend.
1. Overview of the Sino-US artificial intelligence industry
The artificial intelligence industry has been developing for more than 60 years, the technology has matured, the industrial layout and ecological construction have been gradually improved, and it has now entered the stage of deepening industrial empowerment.
China started late, but the application environment is good, and artificial intelligence is deeply driving the intelligent transformation of the Chinese economy. The United States leads in technology reserves and layout, and maintains its global leading position through policy drive.
From a national policy point of view, it guides the healthy and orderly development of the industry from the aspects of artificial intelligence industry planning, innovation platform construction and technology application, and promotes the continued improvement of China's artificial intelligence application environment and industrial development.
Both China and the United States promote the development of artificial intelligence from the top level of national design. China focuses on financial and technical support. The United States focuses on project cooperation; the United States has the world's overall technical strength, and some of China's AI technology strengths are outstanding.
Artificial intelligence is a popular investment field in the primary market of China and the United States, and the investment direction of China's artificial intelligence segment is wider than that of the United States. In the subdivided fields, there is a big gap in the direction of investment between China and the United States, especially in the data field. At present, China does not pay enough attention to the data field.
Overall, the US AI industry leads the way, followed by China. The overall development of China's AI is relatively weak, but the top technologies in some areas have been aligned with the United States, and the localization trend is obvious.
2. Insight into the trends of the artificial intelligence industry
Trend one: the underlying core elements of artificial intelligence improve computing power and optimize data processing methods.
In the future, artificial intelligence chips will develop from general-purpose chips to special-purpose chips. Data processing methods will continue to be optimized, and human-machine collaboration will evolve into full-scale mechanization, with more efficient processing.
Trend 2: The threshold for the use of artificial intelligence technology has been greatly reduced.
Automated machine learning will lower the threshold for the use of AI technology, the potential of AI technology will be released, enterprise AI deployment will be automated and convenient, and the era of "inclusive AI" is coming.
Trend 3: Artificial intelligence edge applications will be further expanded.
The coordinated development of 5G, Internet of Things, edge computing technology and AI will promote the movement of AI capabilities from cloud data centers to edge locations. In the future, the demand for AI edge computing will increase, and data edge-end processing will become a trend.
Trend 4: The penetration of artificial intelligence in some data-intensive application scenarios is accelerating.
At present, AI has been applied in many scenarios. In the future, it will accelerate penetration in areas with huge amounts of data such as finance, security, manufacturing, medical care, and transportation. This trend will be particularly obvious in China with massive data resources.
Trend 5: The security awareness and autonomy of artificial intelligence manufacturers have increased significantly.
With the continuous improvement of independent and controllable awareness of technology, Chinese AI manufacturers will pay more attention to independent research and development in the future to achieve the safe development of AI application fields.
