China has been taking the US head-on in the AI race for some time, with Google and Baidu introducing language models in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Currently, the US is leading an AI revolution with generative AI, but China is responding with its own products such as Ernie Bot and Tongyi Qianwen. China is also a leader in computer vision, with the government allocating substantial funding to support advancements in this field. Additionally, China is a leader in AI research, with the country responsible for approximately one-third of all AI research papers published in 2019.
