The development of generative AI technology has stunned the global tech community. According to a recent survey released by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), China leads the world in the number of patent applications for generative AI, six times that of the United States, which is undoubtedly a staggering proportion.
The Biden administration is very troubled by this, because it means that China has a clear advantage in technological innovation and application in this area. Many Chinese people said that there is no way to do this, we are so powerful.
China is 6 times ahead of the United States!
In recent years, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has become a global focus in the tech sector, especially in the patent filing wars.
According to data from Lianhe Zaobao and the World Intellectual Property Organization, China has won the science and technology race across the board, and its lead is huge.
According to reports, China has six times as many patent applications for generative AI as the United States. This figure is based on data from the last ten years, that is, from 2014 to 2023.
In the past 10 years, there have been a total of 54,000 applications for technological inventions related to this topic worldwide, of which China has overwhelmingly accounted for more than 38,000 of them.
In the face of such data, people can't help but be amazed - the scale of China's R&D strength and investment in scientific and technological resources is really beyond people's imagination!
However, it is worth noting that the United States, a leading power in the field of science and technology, has not been able to dominate the world, but it still has filed 6,276 patent applications, ranking second in the world.
In addition to the United States, a number of countries with advanced scientific and technological capabilities, such as South Korea, Japan and India, have also been left behind by China.
It can be said that this leading edge of China is very obvious.
So, how did China achieve such a leading position?
To some extent, this is undoubtedly due to China's great attention and huge investment in scientific and technological innovation.
In recent years, the mainland has always maintained a high level of investment in scientific research and development, especially in the fields of artificial intelligence and high-end technology.
On the other hand, China has a large domestic market and talent pool, which undoubtedly provides a fertile and fertile soil for scientific and technological innovation to nurture and promote its vigorous development.
Let's take a look at the changes this technology will bring.
Generative AI is a technology that can learn and innovate on its own, and it can play a role in a variety of fields, such as autonomous driving, robotics, healthcare, and even the entertainment industry.
The development of these technologies has the potential to revolutionize the way we work and live in the future.
However, while China leads the way in generative AI patent filings, that doesn't mean it's okay to sit back and relax.
Technology is evolving rapidly, and other countries are catching up at an accelerated pace. Therefore, China also needs to continuously strengthen its innovation capabilities and scientific and technological research to ensure that it can continue to maintain its leading edge.
Biden is already driven crazy
China's performance in the field of artificial intelligence research can be said to have attracted the attention of the whole world. From basic research to application development, China's AI technology is not only leading in quantity, but also in terms of quality and innovation.
While many companies and institutions around the world have made significant contributions in this field, well-known organizations like OpenAI have not been recognized in the patent rankings, despite their attention.
This phenomenon may be due to the fact that after OpenAI changed from a non-profit organization to a for-profit company, they paid more attention to trade secrets to protect their innovations, rather than adopting the usual patent application strategy in the past.
Historically, until 2019, the U.S. led the world in the number of patent applications.
However, everything changed in 2016, when the new US President Donald Trump came to power, and his administration imposed a series of economic sanctions on Chinese companies such as Huawei and ZTE, severely restricting the products and services that US semiconductor companies can provide to these Chinese companies.
In the face of such tremendous pressure, China did not choose to compromise, but actively responded to the challenge, greatly increased its investment in scientific and technological research and development, and vigorously promoted the process of independent innovation.
This spirit of self-reliance has not only enabled China to make a remarkable technological breakthrough several years after being sanctioned, but has also helped the country win respect and leadership in the global science and technology race.
On this basis, in May this year, in the beautiful scenery of Geneva, Switzerland, China and the United States jointly held an in-depth and professional discussion, focusing on many topics of common concern to both sides, such as technological risks in the field of artificial intelligence and global governance.
This conversation is unlike any other in the past, because this time China's AI technology is in the global spotlight.
In such an international arena, China has also made clear its solemn position on the US restriction and suppression of China in the field of artificial intelligence.
Under the pressure of great power, US President Joe Biden has been forced to accept the reality and frankly admit that the development of artificial intelligence technology contains great opportunities, but also hidden risks that cannot be ignored.
His remarks are undoubtedly an indirect and subtle recognition of China's significant and powerful strength in the field of artificial intelligence.
The global tech race is far from over
In recent years, the United States seems to be facing a certain degree of dilemma in the process of scientific and technological innovation and development, especially in the frontier scientific territory of artificial intelligence (AI).
It is undeniable that Biden once frankly pointed out in a talk show that only a decade ago, the United States undoubtedly occupied the first place in global scientific research spending, but now, its ranking has slipped to ninth; China, on the other hand, has risen rapidly from eighth to second place in terms of R&D spending.
Such a huge change cannot but make people sigh whether the United States has really pushed itself into a corner.
Behind this phenomenon is a problem: the United States may be too confident that it thinks its technological leadership is unmatched.
The reality, however, is that China's rapid rise has caught the United States off guard. This change is not only a jump in numbers, but also a direct reflection of the comparison of the scientific and technological strength of the two countries.
In the global AI patent competition, although the United States ranks second with a total of 6,276 patents, the huge gap with China undoubtedly makes the United States feel a little embarrassed.
It's like a champion who has been leading alone in the field all year round, and suddenly one day he finds that someone far surpasses him, and the feeling in his heart can be imagined.
At present, artificial intelligence technology is unprecedented, leading to earth-shaking changes in the entire scientific and technological world at an extremely rapid pace.
Whether it is from the popularity of autonomous vehicles, the gradual penetration of intelligent robots in various fields, or the rapid development of speech recognition and image processing technology, artificial intelligence technology has penetrated into all aspects of our daily life.
In this technological revolution, new ideas and technologies are constantly emerging, and every innovation could be a door to a smarter world.
China has done a particularly good job in this regard, not only ranking first in the world in terms of the number of patent applications for generative AI, but more importantly, reflecting China's determination and strength in technological innovation.
Chinese companies are like explorers, obsessed with research in the field of science and technology, bravely moving forward to challenge the unknown. They rely on their own ingenuity and courage to push China's science and technology forward in great strides.
Although the United States is still a technological powerhouse with many decisive technological advantages, the future of development in the coming years is still unpredictable.
If the U.S. maintains the status quo and does not invest more in innovation and R&D, its existing "core technologies" are likely to become insignificant.
In short, the global tech race is far from over, and both the United States and China are trying to write their own tech stories. In the future, who can stay ahead in this fierce competition depends on how they adjust their strategies and how they grasp opportunities.
