CNNIC’s document points out that the penetration rate of generative artificial intelligence has exceeded 50%. The technology is already being used in various fields, but the main use case for generative AI remains communication (conversational interaction), the report said.
It turns out that 76% of users use this technology to get answers to their questions. The study also pointed out that the growth rate of smart technology consumption is accelerating, especially the purchase of smart devices. In the past six months, 38.7% of Internet users purchased such devices online.
The report also talks about the debugging of China’s first domestic artificial intelligence super cluster, which is equipped with 100,000 GPUs. This activity has become an important pillar of the country’s independent innovation and development in the field of artificial intelligence.
The document emphasizes that generative artificial intelligence promotes in-depth industrial transformation and modernization, making all walks of life smarter.
It is worth noting that entity artificial intelligence has become one of the most actively developing areas in the field of artificial intelligence. By increasing their ability to perform complex tasks, physical AI robots are finding applications in many fields, including manufacturing, surgery, and consumer services.
The report was released at the 2026 China Internet Infrastructure Resources Conference in Beijing.
