The "Generative Artificial Intelligence Application Development Report" points out that the development of artificial intelligence-related industries has always attracted much attention in China. As early as 2017, the State Council issued the "New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Development Plan", which put forward the goal of achieving a major breakthrough in the basic theory of artificial intelligence by 2025 and ensuring that some technologies and applications reach the international leading level. The plan also emphasizes the importance of AI as a key force to promote industrial upgrading and economic transformation, as well as to promote substantial progress in the construction of an intelligent society. With the rise of generative artificial intelligence, this field has attracted the active participation of many large Internet companies and start-ups, which has greatly accelerated the pace of technology research and development and industrial application, and effectively improved China's industrial competitiveness and development level in this field. This not only promotes technological innovation, but also injects new vitality into economic development.
In terms of industrial scale: In recent years, the system of China's artificial intelligence industry has become more and more comprehensive, and by the end of 2023, the scale of Chinese's artificial intelligence core industry has reached nearly 600 billion yuan, and it is expected to continue to maintain rapid growth in the next few years. According to relevant forecasts, from 2025 to 2035, the scale of Chinese's artificial intelligence industry is expected to grow from about 398.5 billion yuan to about 1,729.5 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 15.6%. By 2030, the size of China's AI industry is expected to exceed 1 trillion yuan.
In addition, China has more than 4,500 AI companies, accounting for about one-seventh of the global total. These companies have layouts in chips, computing power, data, platforms, applications and other links, and have built a relatively comprehensive artificial intelligence industry system. With the support of national policies, huge market demand and abundant human resources, China's AI industry is developing rapidly and occupies an important position in the global market. Not only that, the application of artificial intelligence technology in China is also expanding, such as smart mining, drug research and development, weather forecasting, government processing, financial services, intelligent manufacturing and railway management. At the same time, intelligent driving and embodied intelligence are considered to be the first echelon of artificial intelligence applications, and they have a close demand for AI technology and strong companionship, indicating that these two fields will be the focus of future development.

In terms of product quantity: According to information released by the Cyberspace Administration of China on January 8, 2025, as of December 31, 2024, a total of 302 generative AI services have been filed with the Cyberspace Administration of China, a significant increase from the previous number. Among them, there are not only comprehensive large models that are deeply involved in general fields, but also professional models that focus on subdivided industries such as healthcare, finance, and law. For example, Ping An Healthcare and Technology Company's "Liao ge tian Model" focuses on the medical and health field, and can provide users with professional health consultation, preliminary diagnosis and advice on diseases. Some large models of the legal industry can assist lawyers in case search, legal document writing, etc., and promote the intelligent upgrading of various industries. According to the Report on the Application and Development of Generative Artificial Intelligence, the penetration rate of artificial intelligence represented by large models in China has reached 16.4%6. Generative AI products such as Baidu's Wenxin model, Alibaba's Qwen model, Tencent's hybrid model, ByteDance's Cici model, Huawei's Pangu model, the "Kimi Intelligent Assistant" on the dark side of the moon, and Deep Seek, which exploded at the beginning of this year, have been launched, providing users with rich choices and differentiated user experiences.
In terms of industrial integration, generative AI is deeply integrated with traditional industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, and education, promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, and promoting the continuous emergence of new formats and models. For example:
Manufacturing: By using generative AI for product design, process optimization, and quality control, companies are able to achieve more efficient production and higher product quality. For example, intelligent algorithms can predict equipment failures, advance maintenance, and reduce downtime.
Healthcare: Generative AI provides powerful support for drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and personalized treatment development. It can help doctors analyze imaging data faster and improve diagnostic accuracy; It is also possible to speed up the development of new drugs by simulating the molecular structure of drugs.
Education: The education industry is beginning to adopt generative AI to develop intelligent tutoring systems and adaptive learning platforms that adapt instructional content to students' learning pace and style to improve learning outcomes.
It now appears that the scope of applications for generative AI is still expanding, and its potential touches almost every industry. With the advancement of technology and the expansion of application scenarios, generative AI will continue to deepen the integration of various industries, injecting new vitality into the development of China and the global economy.
