Artificial intelligence begins to ebb tide? Which kind of AI does capital prefer?

Just after the dusty finale of the US presidential election, the 12-year-old artificial intelligence system "Mogli" ran out to "grab the play"; followed by the November 10th Tmall double 11 carnival night, Alibaba Cloud artificial intelligence ET finale staged A technology magic show; then, the annual Internet amnesty (World Internet Conference) is about to open the show, "artificial intelligence" is considered to be a hot topic throughout the big bang...

Then, the lively is lively, and the data behind it is a bit quiet.
  
——In the past two years, China’s investment in artificial intelligence has accelerated significantly, but the average amount of transactions per transaction has not increased significantly;
  
-- The number of artificial intelligence enterprises and the growth rate of GCF (total capital formation) have slowed down in the past two years.
  
Some people even say that artificial intelligence is an investment field that is about to disappear. What is this? What is the use of data to solve this mystery...

China's AI investment sector capital formation and new business changes

  
   1. The upsurge of artificial intelligence in China began to cool down?

In fact, in the course of development of any industry, in addition to the breakthrough and innovation of its own internal technology, the promotion of external capital is also indispensable, and artificial intelligence is also the same. Since 2010, the number of domestic artificial intelligence enterprises has shown explosive growth. Correspondingly, the domestic artificial intelligence industry capital formation total (GCF) has maintained steady growth during this period, and the relationship between the two is positively correlated.
  
Between 2014 and 2015, the number of artificial intelligence companies increased, and the growth rate slowed down. At the same time, GCF also showed a flat situation. This shows that after 2015, investment institutions have shown signs of slowing down the growth rate of investment in artificial intelligence. However, the number of new AI companies and the amount of investment remain at a high level.
  
China’s total capital formation over the past six years has exceeded the sum of the previous 30 years. In the past two years, the number of newly added artificial intelligence enterprises in China has exceeded the sum of the previous 10 years. In the past year, mainland China has invested a total of 202 billion US dollars (about 6.8 billion yuan) in the AI ​​field, a large scale.
  
  But is this really a fire or a bubble?
  
In the past two years, our country's investment in artificial intelligence has accelerated significantly, but the average amount of transactions has not increased significantly. Combined with the above data conclusions, "the number of artificial intelligence enterprises in China and the growth rate of GCF in the past two years have slowed down", does it mean that the artificial intelligence has passed?
  
  2. Similar to China, global AI investment growth slows down
  
What is the artificial intelligence? Below, let's take a look at the global artificial intelligence investment and financing situation, through horizontal comparison, trying to interpret the problems faced by China's artificial intelligence.
  
In the past year, in the field of AI, there have been more than 1,200 billion investments in the world. The changes in the amount and frequency of global artificial intelligence investments are roughly the same as those in China. On the one hand, the amount and frequency of domestic artificial intelligence investment are subject to the global investment environment in the industry, and on the other hand, it has a role in global changes.
  
  3. Which kind of AI does domestic capital prefer?
  
Most domestic investment and financing of artificial intelligence startups are related to investment institutions. Since domestic technology giants have little incentive to acquire artificial intelligence startups, what is the investment status of domestic investment institutions in the field of artificial intelligence?
  
The domestic investment institutions participate in the financing of various applications of artificial intelligence technology, including computer vision, AI algorithms, automatic driving, deep learning, drones, intelligent robots, and various sensors, speech recognition, laser radar, computing chips. And other hardware areas.
  
In China, it is not that investment institutions do not buy AI, but there are too few high-quality start-ups that are favored by capital. Compared with O2O, live broadcast and other fields, the artificial intelligence entrepreneurship threshold is extremely high. The star entrepreneurs in this field have a strong technical background. The industry talents are scarce and the average person is difficult to enter, which leads to the scarcity of industry startups.
  
Among the enterprises that have completed financing this year, there are only 6 angel companies, accounting for 26% of the total. It can be seen that although the AI ​​field is red, but the number of new enterprises is small, high-quality enterprises are more scarce and available for investment. There are not many targets chosen by people.
  
  4. Global capital AI focuses on the top ten, there are two in China
  
As mentioned above, capital is of great importance to the development of the industry, and investment institutions are behind the industry, so let's take a look at the world's highest concentration of investment in artificial intelligence from 2013 to 2015.
  
In the top ten of the global investment institutions with fascinating intelligence, there are two investment institutions in China (Jinge Fund, Weigang Investment), one in the UK (startupbootcamp), and the rest are US investment institutions. Obviously, the United States still dominates the world of artificial intelligence investment.
  
In addition, in addition to investment institutions, technology giants have gradually changed their R&D strategies. From investing huge R&D expenses, the main business has been affected, and they have turned into direct investment or acquisition of entrepreneurial teams. This simple and violent local behavior is in the field of industry, especially artificial intelligence. The development has played a key role.
  
Indeed, as shown in the aforementioned data, the growth rate of investment in the AI ​​industry has slowed down both globally and in China. In addition to the serious lack of resources for start-up companies interested in capital, it may be true that, as one domestic investor has said, AI is a field of investment that is disappearing, and future investments in artificial intelligence will be spread across application areas.
  
As the vice president of the fund, Meng Xing explained, “The disappearance is because in most fields, artificial intelligence has been scattered in every vertical industry like the Internet and has become a part of the industry itself.” So your company’s core value is not Its algorithm, but to see artificial intelligence as a core barrier, can increase the value of this industry chain.
