China leads the world in adoption of generative AI, survey shows
BEIJING (Reuters) - China is leading the world in adopting generative AI, a new survey shows, the latest sign the country is making strides in the technology that gained global attention after U.S.-based OpenAI's ChatGPT launched in late 2022.
In a survey of 1,600 decision-makers in industries worldwide by U.S. AI and analytics software company SAS and Coleman Parkes Research, 83% of Chinese respondents said they used generative AI, the technology underpinning ChatGPT.
That was higher than the 16 other countries and regions in the survey, including the United States, where 65% of respondents said they had adopted GenAI.
The global average was 54%.
The industries surveyed included banking, insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail and energy.
The results underscore China's rapid progress in the generative AI field, which gained momentum after Microsoft-backed OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, prompting dozens of Chinese companies to launch their own versions.
Last week, a report by the United Nations' World Intellectual Property Organization showed China was leading the GenAI patent race, filing more than 38,000 between 2014 and 2023 against 6,276 filed by the United States in the same period.
