According to recent polls, China leads the world in adopting generative AI.
China leads the world in the adoption of generative AI, according to a recent survey. This is the latest sign that China is making progress in the field, which has attracted international attention since U.S.-based OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022. Generative AI, the technology behind ChatGPT, was reported to be used by 83% of Chinese respondents in a poll of 1,600 decision makers across multiple industries conducted by Coleman Parks Research and U.S. AI and analytics software company SAS.
This is higher than the GenAI adoption rate of 65% among respondents in the United States and 16 other countries and regions surveyed, and 54% globally. Industries surveyed included energy, manufacturing, retail, banking, insurance and healthcare.
This was higher than the other 16 countries and regions that participated in the survey, including the United States, where 65% of respondents claimed to have adopted GenAI. The global average was 54%. Banking, insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail and energy were some of the industries asked about. The results show that China is making rapid advances in the field of generative AI. The impetus came with Microsoft-backed OpenAI's release of ChatGPT in November 2022, which prompted other Chinese companies to release their own versions of the software.
China is leading the GenAI patent race, according to a report released last week by the United Nations' World Intellectual Property Organization. China filed more than 38,000 patent applications between 2014 and 2023, compared with 6,276 in the United States during the same period. China has created a strong domestic market, from tech giants like ByteDance to startups like Zhipu, even as many of the world's top generative AI service providers face domestic restrictions.
China is expected to see enterprise adoption of generative AI accelerate as price competition drives down the cost of large-scale language model services for enterprises. Continuous automated monitoring (CAM), which the SAS report calls a “controversial but widely deployed use case for generative AI tools,” is also an area in which China is considered a global leader. According to Udo Sglavo, vice president of applied AI and modeling at SAS, “This technology can collect and analyze vast amounts of data about user activities, behavior, and communications, but it can lead to privacy violations because users are not aware of the extent of the data being collected or how it is being used.”
“CAMs often use proprietary algorithms and opaque technologies, which can make it difficult to hold organizations that use CAM accountable for misuse or errors,” Sgravo added. “China's advances in CAM contribute to the country's broader strategy to become a global leader in artificial intelligence and surveillance technology.”
