China is leading the world in adopting generative AI, a new survey shows, the latest sign the country is making strides in the technology that gained global attention after U.S.-based OpenAI's ChatGPT launched in late 2022. In a survey of 1,600 decision-makers in industries worldwide by U.S. AI and analytics software company SAS and Coleman Parkes Research, 83% of Chinese respondents said they used generative AI, the technology underpinning ChatGPT. That was higher than the 16 other countries and regions in the survey, including the United States, where 65% of respondents said they had adopted GenAI. The global average was 54%.The industries surveyed included banking, insurance, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail and energy. The results underscore China's rapid progress in the generative AI field, which gained momentum after Microsoft-backed OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022, prompting dozens of Chinese companies to launch their own versions. https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/ad6a909b8dfd6e278f94881d83dbd5ad5f9260c7502175059b29042e589fb93c/files/1720183793997-YAKIHONNES3.jpg https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/ad6a909b8dfd6e278f94881d83dbd5ad5f9260c7502175059b29042e589fb93c/files/1718790627582-YAKIHONNES3.png
