【英文】安全与新兴技术中心报告：美国对中国人工智能企业的投资分析（68页）

Given that the majority of investment in Chinese AI companies comes from Chinese  investors alone, regulating U.S. outbound investment into China’s AI ecosystem will be  unlikely to achieve desired objectives if those objectives are to halt China’s AI progress.  Moreover, Chinese AI companies are also capable of attracting investment from foreign  investors other than the United States. For instance, Chinese investors co-investing  with foreign investors other than U.S. investors, accounts for $11 billion over 92  investment transactions (See Appendix C, Table C2). Foreign investors from countries  such as Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea, among others, have also put in about $9  billion across 57 deals into China’s AI ecosystem from 2015 to 2021.  Types of Chinese AI target companies  AI is a general-purpose technology that has a broad range of applications, spanning  across different sectors. 

The Chinese companies in our dataset that received U.S.  investment are developing applications in sectors such as business services and  analytics, transportation, medicine and life science, security and biometrics, among  others.28 More specifically, as Table 3 shows, the majority of Chinese AI companies  that we identified as recipients of U.S. investment focuses on general purpose AIrelated tools and applications, transportation, and business uses such as business  services and analytics and sales/retail/customer relations. Advances in AI are likely to  impact many sectors of the economy and in doing so, spur innovation and enable other  cutting-edge technologies, such as chips and semiconductors, and vice versa. Within  the general-purpose category, eight AI companies focus on computing hardware that  may be applied to different sectors, whereas two AI companies develop chips catered  to specific uses, including in finance and transportation.
