The United States is leading rivals in development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) while China is rising quickly and European Union is lagging, a research report showed Monday.

The study by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation assessed AI using 30 separate metrics including human talent, research activity, commercial development and investment in hardware and software.

周一，一項(xiàng)調(diào)查研究報(bào)告顯示美國(guó)在人工智能的開(kāi)發(fā)與應(yīng)用上處于領(lǐng)先地位，中國(guó)正在迅速崛起，而歐洲相對(duì)滯后。信息技術(shù)和創(chuàng)新基金會(huì)(Information Technology and Innovation Foundation)的研究用30個(gè)獨(dú)立指標(biāo)評(píng)估了人工智能，包括人才、研究活動(dòng)、商業(yè)開(kāi)發(fā)和軟硬件投資。

The United States leads, with an overall score of 44.6 points on a 100-point scale, followed by China with 32 and the European Union with 23.3, the report based on 2020 data found.?The researchers found the US leading in key areas such as investment in startups and research and development funding.?But China has made strides in?several areas and last year had more of the world's 500 most powerful supercomputers than any other nation -- 214, compared with 113 for the US and 91 for the EU.

以2020年數(shù)據(jù)為基石，百分制計(jì)分，美國(guó)以總分44.6分雄踞榜首，其次是中國(guó)32分，歐盟23.3分。研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)美國(guó)在關(guān)鍵領(lǐng)域占據(jù)主導(dǎo)地位，包括初創(chuàng)公司的投資和研發(fā)經(jīng)費(fèi)方面。但中國(guó)在幾個(gè)領(lǐng)域取得了長(zhǎng)足進(jìn)步，2020年中國(guó)已經(jīng)擁有世界前500超級(jí)計(jì)算機(jī)的數(shù)量為214臺(tái)(美國(guó)為113臺(tái)，歐盟91臺(tái))，超過(guò)其他任何國(guó)家。

"The Chinese government has made AI a top priority and the results are showing," said Daniel Castro, director of the think tank's Center for Data Innovation and lead author of the report."The United States and European Union need to pay attention to what China is doing and respond, because nations that lead in the development and use of AI will shape its future and significantly improve their economic competitiveness, while those that fall behind risk losing competitiveness in key industries."

Daniel Castro，數(shù)據(jù)創(chuàng)新智庫(kù)（the think tank's Center for Data Innovation ）的領(lǐng)軍人物，也是該項(xiàng)研究報(bào)告的主要作者說(shuō)道：“中國(guó)政府將人工智能視為國(guó)家優(yōu)先發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略項(xiàng)目，效果也顯而易見(jiàn)。美國(guó)和歐盟都需要注意到中國(guó)的做法并作出反應(yīng)。因?yàn)樵谌斯ぶ悄荛_(kāi)發(fā)和使用方面處于領(lǐng)先地位的國(guó)家將塑造其未來(lái)，并顯著提高其經(jīng)濟(jì)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，而落后的國(guó)家則面臨在關(guān)鍵行業(yè)失去競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)?！?/span>

The EU lagged notably in venture capital and private equity funding, while faring better in terms of research papers published.?The report found China published some 24,929 AI research papers in 2018, the latest year for which data was available, to 20,418 for the European Union and 16,233 for the United States.- AFP

歐盟在風(fēng)險(xiǎn)投資和私募方面明顯落后，而研究論文發(fā)表方面表現(xiàn)相對(duì)較好。作為有數(shù)據(jù)可循的最近一年，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)中國(guó)2018年發(fā)布人工智能相關(guān)文章24929篇，歐盟發(fā)表20418篇，美國(guó)發(fā)表16233篇。--法新社
