The phrase "coreless (chip) and less soul (operating system)" helped China break out of the challenging situation in the information industry during the PC era. Today, as the artificial intelligence (AI) wave sweeps across the globe, the 19th China International Industry Fair in Shanghai showcased a series of breakthroughs in cutting-edge technology, highlighting the opportunities for China in the smart era and giving the Chinese AI industry a significant "jump" in momentum.
Entering the top tier of the industry, a group of AI "knives" is emerging. This year, the Industrial and Commercial Exposition featured a dedicated AI zone. At the Cambrian booth in Shanghai, a circuit board smaller than a tablet was on display. A staff member pointed to a small square at the center, explaining, “This chip was developed entirely by us.â€
“Within three years, we aim to capture 30% of China’s high-performance smart chip market and ensure that over one billion smart terminals worldwide use our Cambrian terminal processor technology,†said Chen Tianshi, founder and CEO of Cambrian. The smart chip demonstrated this time has been optimized in terms of power consumption, energy efficiency, and cost. “Its performance-to-power ratio has made a leap forward, and its applications span image recognition, security monitoring, autonomous driving, drones, speech recognition, and natural language processing.â€
So far, no global AI ecosystem has been universally recognized, and there are no established standards—this creates a window of opportunity for China to achieve a "jumping change" in the AI field. More and more companies are proving that China's AI development not only benefits from vast data but also from improved algorithm systems and the expansion of application scenarios.
In this area, companies like Yitu and Shangtang have introduced advanced "face recognition" solutions. In international competitions, such as the FRVT test organized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, which is considered the industry's "closed-book exam," Chinese teams have started to make their mark. In 2017, Intu Technologies became the first Chinese team to win the competition. Fan Yanyan, vice president of the company, highlighted a solution with a hundred-million-dollar scale and an ultra-low false alarm rate, aiming to bring the technology into real-world applications.
Driven by applications, China's AI initiatives are showing tangible results. In July this year, the State Council released the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan," which analyzed China's weaknesses. It pointed out gaps in major original achievements, basic theories, core algorithms, key equipment, high-end chips, major products, systems, materials, components, software, and interfaces. Additionally, it noted that scientific institutions and enterprises had not yet formed an influential ecological system or industry chain, and that AI talent was still lacking.
As a latecomer, China's foundational technologies may be weaker, but it has made significant progress in the technology and application layers, especially in areas like face and voice recognition. Reporters found that cities such as Shanghai, Anhui, Zhejiang, Guizhou, and Jiangxi have already planned ahead and laid the groundwork for this future industry.
Chen Mingbo, director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economics and Letters, emphasized that Shanghai will focus on industrial chain integration, data integration, platform construction, demonstration applications, production and research efficiency, and the development of an industrial ecosystem support system, along with industrial policies.
Data is the fuel for AI, and one of the key elements for attracting talent. As the owner of large amounts of core data, the government is changing its approach. “We prioritize application-driven strategies and will enhance data sharing and open up demonstration projects in urban security, government services, healthcare, and cultural creativity,†said Fang Shizhong, district governor of Xuhui District. Xuhui aims to build a complete AI ecosystem by 2020, becoming an internationally renowned AI innovation center with an industry cluster worth 10 billion yuan.
Seizing the opportunity of "change," China is moving toward becoming a global AI innovation hub. Sun Ninghui, director of the Institute of Computing at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, stated that focusing on cultivating and expanding AI-based hardware and software companies can inject new momentum into China's smart industry. “Our R&D has achieved a leading position globally in smart chips, and through cooperation with upstream and downstream partners, we expect to lead the Chinese AI industry to 'change lanes and overtake.'â€
Among all factors, people remain the most critical. Earlier this year, McKinsey reported that China and the U.S. are currently leading in global AI development, but talent recruitment is vital for China. Over half of U.S. data scientists have more than 10 years of experience, while 40% of researchers in China have less than five years of experience.
To address this, the plan emphasizes strengthening collaboration between industry, universities, and research institutes. Reporters observed that more tech companies are now partnering with universities to provide powerful computing resources and large data sets, offering "real-world training" for machine learning researchers. Recently, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Shangtang Technology announced the establishment of a joint lab focused on "deep learning and computer vision."
“The key to competition in AI is talent. Those skilled in deep learning are hard to develop through traditional methods and require seamless integration between academia and industry,†said Xu Li, co-founder and CEO of Shangtang Technology. This synergy not only promotes the mutual transformation of technology and applications but also aligns corporate needs with research directions, effectively nurturing cutting-edge AI talent and supporting the development of China’s original technologies.
