Abstract

As an important driving force for the new round of technology revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence is bringing a disruptive impact on perspective of economic development, international political and economic patterns, and social progress.The revolutionize impact of AI on business and national security in the next 20 years is likely to be as huge as the impact of semiconductors, computers and the Internet over the past 25 years.Since 2019, the global artificial intelligence industry has come to a new stage of commercial application.Countries are accelerating the layout and seizing the strategic commanding heights of development.Basic theoretical research is highly valued, and core technological breakthroughs continue to advance.The application of artificial intelligence in security, finance, customer service, retail, medical, education and other fields is landing with accelerated speed.With the continuous introduction of products and services, increasing industry understanding has become the key to integrated applications.

In 2019, artificial intelligence industry in China presents a good momentum of vigorous development.With the joint promotion and guidance of policy, capital and market demand, China's artificial intelligence enterprises have taken both “quality and quantity” into account the development, the industry scale continues to expand, and the layout of the industrial chain continues to be improved.The agglomeration development effect is prominent.In terms of technology, China’ s artificial intelligence technology innovation has been accelerated, and the international competitiveness of core technologies such as AI chips and algorithms has been steadily improved.In terms of applications, the integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy has been continuously expanded, and the deep integration of application scenes has become a new engine for industrial development.In terms of regional development, China’s artificial intelligence industry has formed a distinctive development pattern.With significant advantages, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu lead in terms of the number of enterprises, industrial operation and technological innovation.

In 2019, artificial intelligence technology innovation growed vigorously.The industry of artificial intelligence chips maintained a high-speed development trend, and its application in the field of terminal inference accelerates.Milestones have been achieved on the progress of brain-like computing and other emerging architectures.The research on artificial intelligence algorithms represented by deep learning has developed rapidly, and the open source framework for deep learning has blossomed.The intelligent voice industry has rapidly changed from a single terminal interaction to a diversified ecology, accelerating the integration and development of vertical fields.Lots of research results on computer vision are emerged, the technology is more mature, and the commercial maturity is constantly improving.Natural language processing has entered an active period of technological development, core technologies have continued to make breakthroughs, and performance in many areas has been significantly improved.

However, artificial intelligence technology is a “double-edged sword”, and as its application becomes more and more widespread, the risks involved has been an industry focus.The global “war of position” at the ethical and normative level of artificial intelligence has started, and multiple countries and regions such as the European Union, the United States, China, and Germany have actively issued safety management policies in the field of artificial intelligence.In the future, under the background of frustration in face recognition and frequent occurrence of deep forgery, a practical safety risk assessment landing plan is expected to be introduced, and the development of artificial intelligence will become more and more rational.

In order to fully grasp the development trend of the global artificial intelligence industry, technology and applications in 2019, and to summarize and judge a series of problems involving the development of the artificial intelligence industry, based on the long-term continuous research of the global artificial intelligence industry , China Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team write the book “Artificial Intelligence Development Report (2019-2020)”.This book is divided into 6 parts: general reports, technical articles, integration articles, investment and financing article, thematic articles and appendices.It conducts research and analysis on the development of the global artificial intelligence industry in 2019 from multiple angles, and features data annotation, deep forgery, artificial intelligence talent situation and other topics with special articles.It also summarizes the 2019 TOP10 events, and the layout of each link in the global artificial intelligence industry chain.
