The report points out that China has established an artificial intelligence technology system, industrial innovation ecosystem, and enterprise alliances based on independent innovation, including intelligent chips, large models, infrastructure and operating systems, toolchains, deep learning platforms, and application technologies. The key supporting effect of reshaping the industrial system and vigorously promoting new industrialization is gradually emerging.

According to the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Patent Technology Analysis Report" released by the National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center and the Electronic Intellectual Property Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has become an important competitor for global innovation in the new generation of artificial intelligence technology. As of the end of 2023, the number of publicly available patents for the basic and model layers of next-generation artificial intelligence in China has reached 62000, including nearly 20000 valid patents and 35000 pending applications. Since 2017, the average annual growth rate of patent applications has exceeded 43%.
