CHONGQING, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — The number of China's artificial intelligence (AI) enterprises has grown from just over 1,400 to more than 5,000 in the past five years, according to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) at the 2025 World Intelligent Industry Expo held in southwest China's Chongqing.

According to Xin Guobin, deputy head of the MPI, China has created more than 40,000 smart factories, 11 national pilot zones for innovation and application of AI, as well as 17 national demonstration zones for testing intelligent connected cars.

Xin Guobin added that China has set up a state-owned AI investment fund with a total of 60 billion yuan (about 8.4 billion US dollars), drawn up ethical rules for the use of AI, founded the China-BRICS AI development and cooperation center, and developed more than 240 standards for key AI technologies.

The China Internet Development Report 2021 noted that there were a total of 1,454 AI companies in the country in 2020.

China has been paying great attention to developing its AI industry. In 2017, the State Council of the People's Republic of China published the Plan for the Development of New-Generation Artificial Intelligence. In August of this year, it published recommendations for promoting the “AI Plus” initiative, which aims to accelerate the construction of a new form of intelligent economy and smart society, characterized by human-machine interaction, cross-industry integration, and joint innovation.

"The healthy development of China's AI industry comes from borrowing valuable experience from leading countries in this field and making full use of its advantages such as rich data resources, complete industrial system, wide application scenarios and huge market potential," said Wan Gang, chairman of the China Society for Science and Technology.
