Foreign media: China is rapidly catching up with the United States in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), despite some technical bottlenecks. Leading Chinese AI startups, such as MiniMax and Zhipu AI, have recently made successful listings on the Hong Kong stock market, demonstrating strong confidence in the AI sector.
Chinese AI researchers believe that although advanced chip manufacturing tools are lacking, the growth of innovation and venture capital makes it possible for China to see globally leading AI companies emerge within the next three to five years.
However, chip manufacturing remains a major obstacle. China's extreme ultraviolet lithography machines are still unable to produce usable chips, and it may not be until 2030 that breakthroughs are expected. In addition, the United States still leads China in computing infrastructure, although Chinese AI companies have driven technological innovation through algorithm and hardware co-design, despite limited resources.
Younger Chinese AI entrepreneurs are more risk-tolerant, promoting a high-risk, high-reward innovative spirit similar to that of Silicon Valley. These entrepreneurs believe that by improving the innovation environment, more talented people can be involved in the development of cutting-edge technologies.
