At the Fourth World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, as the core driver of a new round of industrial transformation, artificial intelligence technology has become a major highlight of the conference, and artificial intelligence talents have also become the focus of attention. Globalization Think Tank (CCG) and Wuzhen The think tank jointly released the "2017 China Artificial Intelligence Talent Report" on the 4th. The report pointed out that the world's artificial intelligence has been rapidly developing in recent years. China's eastern region, especially the southeastern coastal region, has become a rising star and has ranked the highest in the world in artificial intelligence patents. Ultra-start earlier in the US East and Europe, with the three cities contributing the most artificial intelligence patents to Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, followed by Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Tianjin and Wuhan.
The report pointed out that the cities with the greatest demand for artificial intelligence are Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Guangzhou, providing about 60% of the total jobs and the planned number of hiring accounts for 52.7% of the national total, which is in line with the national artificial intelligence enterprises, The distribution of artificial intelligence investment and financing is generally the same.
2016 Global Artificial Intelligence Patent Distribution
From the geographical distribution and financing of AI enterprises, Beijing has 634 new artificial intelligence enterprises since 2000, more than the sum of Shanghai and Shenzhen, while the number of artificial intelligence enterprises in Shanghai and Shenzhen is also quite high Followed by Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Suzhou, Chengdu, the number of the four companies and the equivalent since 2000, Beijing AI Cumulative total size of more than 2.8 billion US dollars, accounting for 34% of the total; followed by Shanghai, accounting for more than 24% , Shenzhen is 15.5%, Hangzhou is about 10% .According to mainland China's main recruitment website contains information on the exact size of the enterprise data, the recruitment of artificial intelligence companies, more than 76% of the scale of enterprises in 500 people, more than 50% Of the enterprises in the scale of 150. The size of more than 5,000 companies accounted for only about 5% of the total number of recruitment companies.

According to the university's academic capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence (including the relevance of disciplines and artificial intelligence, the number of published papers and citations, the number of citations per unit) and the number of university alumni in the field, the assessment of the Global University and China University Among them, Tsinghua University is 100, Peking University is 94, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Southeast University, Nanjing University, Zhongshan University, Fudan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology , Harbin Institute of Technology, Northeastern University index between 89.2-81.98 in the professional composition of China's artificial intelligence personnel, computer science is the most relevant disciplines in all major segments of artificial intelligence.
The report argues that the development of artificial intelligence industry in China, a shortage of talent is a major problem.Most enterprises for artificial intelligence personnel to provide an average salary of less than 150,000 yuan, only slightly higher than the average salary of the IT industry.

The report also proposed to promote China's artificial intelligence industry and related personnel training of the 9 recommendations: First, to strengthen the introduction of talents in the field of artificial intelligence, in the 'thousands of people plan', 'people plan' and other national-level talent plan to introduce artificial intelligence talent tilt The second is to further relax restrictions on access for foreigners in the field of artificial intelligence The third is to win the top AI activities in the field of artificial intelligence such as the 'World Assembly of AI' held in China to recruit the top talent through activities Fourth, to support the China Association of Artificial Intelligence Industry Association International development, enhance the ability of resource integration in artificial intelligence field.Fifth, support BAT and other joint ventures in colleges and universities to carry out the training of artificial intelligence personnel.Second, encourage colleges and universities to strengthen discipline construction in the field of artificial intelligence, it is suggested to upgrade relevant disciplines according to specific conditions. Government departments to support the development of leading-edge technology and artificial intelligence enterprises to carry out research and development and achievements, to give the relevant topics or projects to support the funds .8 Encourage Chinese enterprises involved in the development of artificial intelligence international standards, industry standards and other technical standards .9 is to encourage angel investment and venture capital investment Social capital increases to labor To support start-ups in the field.
