Young Chinese thoughts on generative AI? 🤖🇨🇳 🤖 Over 60% of young Chinese surveyed said they “like” or “love” generative AI, while fewer than 3% “dislike” or “hate” it. More below. 👇
❗️ Just So Soul, run by the social app Soul, polled nearly 3,500 young Chinese about generative AI. 80% of respondents were from Gen-Z. So, what did they say?
🤖 Over 60% said they “like” or “love” generative AI, while fewer than 3% “dislike” or “hate” it. This is more positive than last year’s survey, where only 43% expressed liking the technology.
🤖 According to the study, young Chinese regularly use generative AI products. Only 4.8% said they’ve never used it, while over 90% have.
🤖 Younger people are most likely to use AI regularly, with 18% born after 2000 using it “almost every day.” Text generation tools like ChatGPT are the most popular generative AI products in China.
Looking ahead, China’s strategic investments are paving the way for an AI-driven future.
✔️ China’s AI industry will grow significantly in the next 10 to 15 years, reaching 1.73 trillion yuan ($240.4 billion) by 2035, accounting for 30.6% of the global market, according to CCID Consulting.
✔️ As of December 2023, China had 234 large language models with over 1 billion parameters. Generative AI tech is being used in media, finance, retail, healthcare and smart manufacturing.
✔️ Chinese enterprises spent 2.3 trillion yuan on digital transformation in 2023, and will spend more this year.
