- US-based company, OpenAI, will block API traffic from countries not on its supported list, affecting AI startups in mainland China
- OpenAI’s decision to block data traffic may push Chinese AI companies to prioritize innovation and accelerate independent R&D
- China holds 36% of global developed LLMs compared to the US’ 44%
- China leads in global AI patents with 61.1% compared to the US’ 20.9%
- China has 7.4 times more industrial robots installed than the US
- Despite the US leading in fundamental model research, China excels in AI patents and industrial robot installations
- Chinese startups turning to domestic LLM developers will speed up AI sector development through access to linguistic materials and a large internet-connected population
私の考え:
中国のAI企業がOpenAIのAPIアクセスを失うことで、国内企業が独自の研究開発を加速する機会が生まれることは興味深い。中国はAI特許や産業用ロボットの設置数で世界をリードしており、国内のLLM開発者と連携することでAIセクターの発展を促進できる可能性があると感じる。
