At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference 2018, a blue Book on the development of artificial Intelligence industry in the world 2018, jointly compiled by Gartner and Ict, was released in Shanghai. (If you want to obtain the electronic version of this book, you can follow the public account “Pegasus” and reply the number “40” in the menu bar. If you follow the rules, you can obtain the 2018 Blue Book on the Development of the World artificial Intelligence Industry.)



The new 2018 AI Maturity Curve will be customized by Gartner’s 67 international analysts. Compared with 2017, the new 2018 AI maturity Curve will update the maturity and forecast of more technologies, with 30 technology points such as deep learning and natural language processing moving and adjusting.


Global map produced by mail tunnels university for AI industry, system analysis was carried out on the global industry of artificial intelligence, focus on research results and practical experience in the field of artificial intelligence, especially focusing on the world’s major artificial intelligence power industry development, the present situation and development trend and the technical route map from the industry chain, industry distribution map, industry research institutions and supporting policies of different perspectives, It provides important decision-making reference for promoting the development of Artificial intelligence industry in China.


According to the Blue Book on the Development of the World ARTIFICIAL Intelligence Industry 2018, AI is still in its early adoption stage, and many enterprises are still in the stage of considering and planning AI adoption, but only 4% of the enterprises surveyed have invested in and deployed AI technology. In Gartner’s AI maturity curve, there is still a lot of technology congestion in the period of expectation inflation, but it is still very difficult to transition to production implementation. Enterprises can drive ADOPTION of AI within the framework of “centers of Excellence” in the four styles outlined in the Blue Book, and the key is to choose an approach that is appropriate to the business style and application requirements.


As an important report outcome of the Conference, this blue Book opens a window of dialogue between China and the world in the field of ARTIFICIAL intelligence, and makes a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the development situation and technology trend of the global artificial intelligence industry. I hope this book will bring useful thinking and reference to practitioners and researchers in the field of artificial intelligence, as well as interested readers, and play a necessary role in enlightenment.

The report summary

Blue book will share in the field of artificial intelligence research results and practical experience, the world’s major artificial intelligence power industry development and the technical route to conduct a comprehensive grasp the present situation and development trend, the detail in the field of artificial intelligence application technology research, industry investment, service, thus to promote the development of the artificial intelligence technology and industry to provide some basic information and guidance. Blue book compiled, it is in the world for the development of artificial intelligence industry on the basis of in-depth and extensive investigation, combined with the survey data and authorities related information, through combing the artificial intelligence technology, industry and application development situation, analyzing the hot point of artificial intelligence technology, enterprise, industry application and future trend, compiled by the team.

The report focuses on the global AI industry map, which was jointly produced by the Institute of Integration of Informatization and Industrialization and the Data Research Center of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology. The map systematically analyzes and draws the global AI industry from multiple perspectives, from underlying technology to vertical application, from industrial structure to industrial distribution, from research institutions to government policies, and summarizes the development trend of AI, providing important decision-making reference for promoting the development of AI industry.

At the same time, in east China branch of China academy of information and communication industry the contents of the map are fully described and extension, and designed the overall frame structure of this report, in detail elaborated the industrial development environment, technology environment, the global enterprise development of artificial intelligence, and industrial applications of artificial intelligence, more clear response industry current situation of the development of artificial intelligence.

The global ai industry map mainly includes the following parts :(1) industrial chain map (2) industrial distribution map (3) industrial research institutions and supporting policies.

1) Industrial chain map section

The ai industry chain structure of this edition block is divided into basic support layer, software algorithm layer and industry application layer. Base layer mainly from computing hardware industry map (training, calculates the clouds, the clouds end reasoning, smart chips, intelligent sensor), computing systems technology (cloud computing, big data, 5 g communications and Internet of things) and data (data collection, annotation and analysis) three dimensions of the world’s major is engaged in the paint industry of base layer of typical enterprise.

Map software algorithm layer industry mainly from the algorithm theory, machine learning algorithm, classes, brain, knowledge map), development platform, open platform based on open source framework, technology) and application technology, computer vision, natural language processing, and human-computer interaction) three dimensions of the world’s major is engaged in the paint industry layer of typical enterprise software algorithm.

Application-level industry map mainly draws typical global enterprises mainly engaged in application-level industry from two dimensions: industry solutions (vertical application of “AI+” industry) and typical products (visual products, voice terminals, robots, intelligent vehicles and UNMANNED aerial vehicles).

2) Industrial distribution map section

This panel mainly inventory and draw the distribution, scale and enterprise name of typical AI enterprises leading in AI industry in China and other provinces and cities.

3) Industrial research institutions and policies

This panel mainly reviews and draws the mainstream ai industry research institutions, alliances and industrial policy documents in China and the world.

The structure of this report is divided into five parts: 1) industrial development environment 2) technical environment 3) global AI enterprises 4) global investment and financing 5) industrial development

1) Industrial development environment

This part expounds the development process of ARTIFICIAL intelligence, relevant policies of artificial intelligence around the world and the development conditions of artificial intelligence, and comprehensively discusses the foundation and environment of the development of artificial intelligence industry.

2) Technical environment

This part summarizes the current technology environment in the field of artificial intelligence from the aspects of global patents, papers, research environment and technology competition.

3) The situation of global AI companies

This part discusses the situation of global AI enterprises in terms of structure, scale and regional distribution.

4) Global investment and financing

This part describes the distribution, scale and rotation of global investment and financing in the field of artificial intelligence, and analyzes the development of artificial intelligence industry from the aspects of investment and financing and industrial scale.

5) Industrial development

This part describes the global ai industry technology and application development status, development trend, and some typical AI enterprise application examples.
