aA the World AI Conference in Shanghai, China’s AI industry demonstrated tremendous confidence in spite of Western constraints, showing cutting-edge technologies created by a growing pool of youthful talent.
There has been rapid growth in China’s generative AI sector. It has reportedly filed more patents than any other country for AI software that generates images, computer code, and other content, as per a UN report.
Not only this, even if Western regulations restricted the growth of its own enterprises, China may eventually gain from its vast population of digital talent, according to Ethan Duan – an employee of a startup incubator
“A sudden cut of access to (OpenAI) API would definitely pose some challenge to many corporations right now, but it’s still far too early to say if it’s going to also be a challenge after one year or two,” Duan told AFP.
According to MacroPolo, the Chicago-based Paulson Institute’s think tank, China had 47% of the world’s top AI researchers in 2022, up from 29% in 2019.
