Move over, Silicon Valley! China is racing ahead as the world's top adopter of generative AI (GenAI) tools, with 83% of Chinese businesses already using the technology – beating the U.S. (65%) and smashing the global average (54%), according to a new SAS-Coleman Parkes survey of 1,600 industry leaders.
East Meets Algorithm
While American companies lead in mature implementations (24% vs China's 19%), the dragon economy's AI ambitions are catching fire :
4,500+ AI companies operating
578B yuan ($79.5B) core AI industry value in 2023
38,000+ GenAI patents filed since 2014 (6x U.S. filings)
Standardized Growth
China plans to launch 50+ national AI standards by 2026, covering everything from ethics to industry applications. \"This isn't just about chatbots,\" says one Shanghai tech CEO. \"We're reinventing manufacturing, healthcare, and smart cities through AI.\"
From TikTok's viral filters to autonomous factories, China's AI revolution is proving that in the age of algorithms, East and West are writing the future together.
