In the past five years, the number of Chinese artificial intelligence companies has grown from over 1400 to over 5000, which is equivalent to one AI company being born in an average of about 11 hours. At the 2025 World Intelligent Industry Expo being held in Chongqing, Xin Guobin, Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology of China, introduced that the number of artificial intelligence enterprises in China has exceeded 5000, and there are over 400 national level "little giant" enterprises specializing in artificial intelligence. At present, the number of artificial intelligence enterprises in China has more than tripled compared to five years ago. According to the China Internet Development Report (2021), there will be 1454 AI enterprises in China in 2020. In recent years, China has attached great importance to the development of artificial intelligence. In July 2017, China issued and implemented the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan"; The Opinion on Deepening the Implementation of the "Artificial Intelligence+" Action, issued in August this year, proposes to accelerate the formation of a new form of intelligent economy and intelligent society characterized by human-machine collaboration, cross-border integration, and co creation and sharing. The foundation of the intelligent industry is becoming increasingly solid, intelligent products are flourishing, and empowering applications are deepening. ”Xin Guobin introduced that China has built more than 35000 basic level, 6300 advanced level, and 230 excellent level intelligent factories, as well as 11 national artificial intelligence innovation application pilot zones and 17 national level intelligent connected vehicle testing demonstration zones. Xin Guobin said that China has established a national artificial intelligence industry investment fund with a total scale of 60 billion yuan, formulated ethical service management measures for artificial intelligence technology, established the China BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center, and developed more than 240 core technology standards in the field of artificial intelligence, promoting the continuous improvement of the industrial ecology. Entering the exhibition hall of this year's Smart World Expo, various artificial intelligence application scenarios are dazzling: humanoid robots perform exciting football and boxing matches, and robotic dogs use "backflips" to cheer up the arena; Disabled people wear mechanical "smart hands" to play the piano; Mechanical exoskeletons assist disabled elderly individuals in walking again through gait analysis; The AI visual quality inspection system quickly scans and inspects new energy vehicles... "The development speed of artificial intelligence in China is getting faster and faster! ”Huang Zhenxiang, partner of Leju (Shenzhen) Robot Technology Co., Ltd., an exhibitor, said that taking humanoid robots as an example, in the past, products were usually iterated once every two years, but now they are iterated twice a year. The healthy development of China's artificial intelligence industry is due to its emphasis on drawing on the beneficial experience of developing countries, as well as fully combining its own advantages such as abundant data resources, complete industrial system, broad application scenarios, and huge market space. ”Wan Gang, Chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology, said.
