The latest data shows that as of April 9, 2025, China's artificial intelligence (AI) patent applications have reached 1,576,379, accounting for 38.58% of the global applications, ranking first in the globe.
“China’s accomplishment in artificial intelligence stems from a synergistic interplay of domestic innovation ecosystems and proactive global collaboration,” Xu Shan, Deputy Director of International Cooperation and Technical Service Department, CAICT AI Institute, noted.
At present, China has cultivated more than 400 national-level specialized "little giant" enterprises (innovation-driven small and medium-sized enterprises, which own core technologies in a niche market and show great market potential) in the field of AI, accounting for one-tenth of the global industry scale.
By now, China has formed a complete artificial intelligence industry system covering the basic layer, framework layer, model layer, and application layer.
