NEW DELHI, July 14: China has surpassed the West in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research which has emerged as a “strategic asset” to military capabilities, which the countries are struggling to achieve, as per a latest report.
The report named “DeepSeek and the New Geopolitics of AI: China’s ascent to research pre-eminence in AI”, says China has progressed to the point of becoming the most influential country in the realm of AI research.
It also pointed out that the EU-27 (European Union, which consists of 27 member countries), the United States and the United Kingdom are lagging behind China. The research paper is authored by Daniel Hook, CEO, Digital Science.
In the research paper, Hook analysed the database from the year 2000 to 2024 by tracking the key trends and analysing them in geopolitical, economic, and technological realms.
Daniel Hook’s 11research report highlighted that AI research has grown at an “impressive rate” globally, from a mere 10,000 publications in 2000 that reached the mark of 60,000 publications in 2024.
Hook also pointed to the fact that AI or artificial intelligence is no longer neutral, and governments are leveraging it for their strategic initiatives.
“Governments are using it as a strategic asset, akin to energy or military capability, and China is actively leveraging this advantage,” Dr Hook said. (UNI)
