In the field of global artificial intelligence research, China is rising at an astonishing speed and quality. According to the latest survey report by Georgetown University’s data analysis platform ETO, between 2017 and 2022, China published 243,000 AI papers, accounting for 25% of the global total, ranking first in the world. This achievement marks a major breakthrough in China's AI technology talents and technological innovation capabilities, and also demonstrates China's strong strength in global technology competition.
The United States followed closely with 171,000 papers, accounting for 18%, while the contributions to papers in other regions were more dispersed. It is worth noting that ETO statistics only include technical papers in English. If Chinese papers are also included in the statistics, the number of papers in China will be more considerable. This phenomenon not only reflects China's extensive participation in the field of AI research, but also highlights the importance of Chinese in scientific and technological exchanges.
Judging from the number of citations in the paper, the United States ranks first with 34,036 highly cited papers, while China followed closely behind, reaching 29,229. It is particularly worth mentioning that in the ranking of academic and research institutions, AI papers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University have been cited more than world-renowned universities such as MIT and Stanford, ranking first and third respectively. This achievement not only proves the research quality of Chinese academic institutions, but also adds a new footnote to China's position in the global AI field.
In terms of enterprises, Google ranks first in the enterprise category with 6,529 papers and an average of 183.8 citations per article. Companies such as Microsoft, Tencent, and Alibaba also have significant contributions and influence in the field of AI research. The active participation of these companies not only promotes the commercial application of AI technology, but also provides rich practical cases for global AI research.
China is in a leading position in AI research output, and the total amount of AI research and high-frequency cited research papers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences rank first in the world. In addition, China has applied for 38,210 patents in Generative AI (AIGC), six times that of the United States. This figure fully proves China's emphasis on and technical strength in the field of AI. These patents not only cover basic research, but also practical applications, demonstrating China's huge potential in AI technology transformation.
