From the perspective of investment areas, the amount of investment and financing in major regions of the world keeps fluctuating and rising. Among them, China's investment in artificial intelligence is far ahead, reaching 22931900 million yuan in 20021year, which is nearly three times that of the US artificial intelligence market.
Note: The data is up to 202 1 1 1.
Number of enterprises: The rapid growth of the number of global artificial intelligence unicorn enterprises is mainly distributed in China and the United States.
-In 2020, the number of global artificial intelligence unicorn enterprises will increase by more than 50%.
In recent years, artificial intelligence has become one of the focuses of global attention. All countries are vigorously developing artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence-related enterprises are growing rapidly. According to the 2020 Hurun Global Unicorn List, in 2020, there were 63 unicorn enterprises in the global artificial intelligence industry, an increase of 57.5% compared with 40 in 20 19.
-China and the United States are global leaders in the number of artificial intelligence enterprises.
In terms of regional competition, the overall strength of European development zones represented by Britain and Germany is similar to that of Asian development zones represented by China, Japanese, Singaporean and Indian. Europe has more talent reserves than Asia, but the activity of artificial intelligence in Asia is much higher than that in Europe, and Asia is friendly to the development of innovative business. Among them, China is the fastest developing country of artificial intelligence in the world, and its development speed is ahead of the world. It surpassed the United States in the number of new patents and the number of artificial intelligence unicorn enterprises. According to Hurun Global Unicorn List 2020 released by Hurun Research Institute, the United States ranks first with 34 artificial intelligence unicorn enterprises, followed by China with 265,438+0 and Britain with 3.
Competition between enterprises and talents: There are many leading enterprises and high-tech talents in both Chinese and American markets.
-Enterprise competition: Most of the world's leading artificial intelligence enterprises gather in China and the United States.
At present, the country with the largest and most competitive artificial intelligence enterprise in the world is the United States. According to the "Top 20 Global Artificial Intelligence Enterprises in 2020" published by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, American companies have the largest number of finalists, with 9 companies on the list; Followed by China, there are 7 listed companies; There are two in Japan; Britain and Switzerland have 1.
From the perspective of subdivision, artificial intelligence covers a wide range. In addition to the all-round and in-depth participation of technology giants, other enterprises rely on their own advantages to participate in industry competition and build a complex competitive landscape. Among them, the hardware development in the basic layer field is changing with each passing day, and giants have laid out open source platforms; The technical level is applied to the enterprise level, and the competition in the segmentation field is fierce; The application layer has a vast imagination space and many participating enterprises.
Technology giants are the most important force in the industry, with advantages in data, technology and capital. Combine independent research and development and mergers and acquisitions, and carry out all-round cross-level layout in the AI field to lead the development of the industry. Among them, Internet companies with comprehensive data advantages, such as Google and Baidu, have comprehensively laid out the artificial intelligence industry.
Scene-based Internet companies, such as Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Alibaba, Tencent, etc. Deeply integrate artificial intelligence with its own business, and constantly improve product functions and user experience; Traditional technology giants, such as IBM and Microsoft, build intelligent platform systems for enterprise users.
-Talent competition: The number of AI talents in the United States leads the world, and there is huge room for improvement in China.
From a national point of view, the distribution of AI high-level scholars is A 1 high-level scholars in the United States, with 1244 person-times, accounting for 62.2%, more than half of the total number, and more than six times that of the second country. China ranked second after the United States, with 196 person-times, accounting for 9.8%. Germany ranks third, with the most European scholars; The number of scholars in other countries is below 100.
Competitiveness prediction: In 2030, the output value of artificial intelligence in China will rank first in GDP in the world.
Although the level of artificial intelligence technology in China still lags behind that in the United States, the international community is more optimistic about the development of artificial intelligence industry in China. According to the forecast of PricewaterhouseCoopers, China will get the biggest benefit from artificial intelligence in the next decade, and the output value of artificial intelligence will reach 26.1%of GDP in 2030; While North America and Western Europe account for 14.5% and 1 1.5% of each country's GDP respectively.
From the above analysis, China and the United States are the leading regions in the global artificial intelligence market. The development of artificial intelligence in the United States started earlier than that in China, and it is superior in technology and talent reserve. However, in the past two years, the market scale of artificial intelligence in China has grown faster than that in the world, and its share in the world has also increased. Coupled with the fiery capital market, a large number of leading artificial intelligence enterprises have gradually formed and their international competitiveness has been continuously improved. In the future, it is expected to continue to lead the global market under the dual promotion of technology and policy.
