NetEase Technology News June 29 news, artificial intelligence is an important driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, with a strong spill-driven "head geese" effect. The meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held not long ago emphasized the acceleration of the construction of traditional infrastructure and new infrastructure such as 5G and artificial intelligence. This year's "Government Work Report" proposes to develop the industrial Internet, promote smart manufacturing, and cultivate emerging industrial clusters.

It is understood that artificial intelligence is one of the fruits of the development of computer science. It attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produce an intelligent machine that can react in a manner similar to human intelligence. Research in this area includes robotics, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing, and expert systems.

In recent years, with the continuous development and innovation of science and technology, artificial intelligence is infiltrating into various industries at an unprecedented speed, providing many industries with powerful momentum for innovation and upgrading, and attracting the attention of all sectors of society.

Voice assistants, face-to-face payments, smart punch cards, logistics robots... According to Deloitte’s previously published Global White Paper on Artificial Intelligence Development, the world’s artificial intelligence market will exceed US$6 trillion by 2025. The popularity of artificial intelligence will allow more ordinary people to enjoy the convenience brought by technology.

According to the data of Tianyancha Professional Edition, China's business scope includes "artificial intelligence, robotics, data processing, cloud computing, language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing", and the status of enterprises is in the industry, surviving, moving in, and moving out ( Hereinafter referred to as "artificial intelligence-related enterprises") more than 850,000. Among them, limited liability companies account for more than 91%.

In terms of geographic distribution, Guangdong and Beijing are the two regions with the most concentrated AI-related enterprises in my country. The number of enterprises adds up to more than 280,000, accounting for 32.75% of the total number of relevant enterprises in the country.

It is worth noting that the professional version of Tianyancha data shows that about 83% of the AI-related enterprises in my country were established within 5 years. According to the overseas edition of the People’s Daily, since 2015, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has selected 305 intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration projects, 583 new model application projects and 19 benchmark enterprises.

According to the statistics of the Prospective Industry Research Institute, as of 2018, the number of pilot demonstration projects for smart manufacturing in East China was the largest, reaching 136, accounting for 45% of the country; followed by the North China region, the number of pilot demonstration projects for smart manufacturing was 38.

In the past ten years, the number of annual registered enterprises (the status of all enterprises) of artificial intelligence-related enterprises in my country has increased steadily year by year. Among them, the growth rate of related company registrations in 2016 was as high as 44.81%. In 2019, more than 230,000 registered related companies were added, the highest in history.

Intelligent manufacturing and artificial intelligence are the main directions of China's manufacturing transformation and upgrading. Promoting the in-depth integration of informatization and industrialization, with intelligent manufacturing as the core, promoting product innovation, technological innovation and business model innovation, can better and faster revitalize the real economy. Data from Tianyancha Professional Edition shows that among my country's artificial intelligence-related enterprises, information transmission, software and information technology service industries account for 38.11%, and scientific research and technology service industries account for 28.48%.

As of June 22, the data of the professional version of Tianyanzha showed that based on the industrial and commercial registration, my country had added nearly 110,000 artificial intelligence-related enterprises in the first five months of this year, an increase of 28.54% over the previous year. Among them, the number of newly registered related enterprises was the largest in April this year, exceeding 34,000.

On June 22, the international data company IDC released "Tracking of China's artificial intelligence software and applications (in the second half of 2019)", saying that in 2019 China's artificial intelligence software and applications market will reach USD 2.89 billion, including hardware, the overall market size will be Reached 6 billion US dollars. By 2024, China's artificial intelligence software and application market will reach USD 12.75 billion, with a compound growth rate of 39.0% in 2018-2024.

The overseas version of the People’s Daily also pointed out that the new generation of information technology represented by artificial intelligence is leading a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, which has a major and far-reaching impact on economic development, social progress, and the international landscape.
