South Korean media: China's competitiveness in physical AI patents ranks first globally, surpassing the US and Japan!
On February 16, South Korean media "Financial News" published an article stating that China ranks first in global competitiveness for physical AI patents. Among the top ten companies and institutions in the physical AI patent competitiveness ranking, five are Chinese companies. The United States has three companies, ranking second, and South Korean companies Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics also made the list.
Recently, "Nikkei News" analyzed the competitiveness of patents related to physical AI. The results showed that according to the countries and regions where relevant patents were applied for, China ranked first in overall competitiveness, while the United States ranked second with a slight gap.
This ranking is based on effective patents related to robots, machine learning, and AI, and is calculated by integrating the total value of patents into a score reflecting the quantity and quality of patents.
Five Chinese companies and institutions entered the top ten. Baidu (4126 points), Huawei (3645 points), and Tencent (3043 points) took the top three positions, while Ping An Insurance (1891 points) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (835 points) ranked sixth and tenth respectively.
Three American companies entered the top ten: NVIDIA (fifth, 2154 points), Intel (seventh, 1543 points), and Alphabet (ninth, 1325 points). Although Chinese companies are considered slightly inferior in quality to these American companies, Huawei has been proven to be approaching the level of American companies.
South Korea's Samsung Electronics (fourth, 2734 points) and LG Electronics (eighth, 1393 points) ranked high, but overall, they still have significant gaps compared to the US and China.
In Japanese companies, Fanuc ranked highest, at thirteenth place. "Nikkei News" pointed out: "Japan previously had an advantage in the machinery field, but the center of technological competition in this field is shifting toward AI, and Japanese companies are being required to respond in new ways."
In industries where technology is a key competitive advantage, the accumulation of patents is regarded as "the basic way to survive." "Nikkei News" pointed out that leading indicators of industrial growth potential show that China is consolidating its advantages in physical AI.
Physical AI is currently one of the most prominent fields in the global competition for technological development, with Tesla and Chinese companies competing to develop this technology and establish business models.
