Artificial intelligence will double the economic growth rate in developed countries. China is not bad.

To what extent does artificial intelligence (AI) promote the development of the global economy? Which industries can best benefit from artificial intelligence? Will it cause great fear of unemployment?

It now appears that these problems have already received some partial answers.

Recently, Accenture, an internationally renowned market research company, studied the impact of AI in the economies of 12 developed countries and found that by 2035, artificial intelligence will increase economic growth by changing job attributes and creating new human-computer relationships. Doubled.

Sweden, Finland, United States, Japan: Most benefit from artificial intelligence

The 12 developed countries studied by Accenture are the United States, Finland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, Japan, Belgium, Spain and Italy. The study said that by 2035, artificial intelligence will help these countries increase productivity by about 40%. Among them, due to the growth of artificial intelligence productivity in several countries are: Sweden, Finland, the United States and Japan.

The study also predicts that benefiting from the deployment of artificial intelligence technology, the US economic growth rate in the same period may increase by 2.6 to 4.6%.

This report is a boost to the frustrating economic growth of today. The general capital input and manpower data show that the role of traditional manufacturing has apparently declined in promoting economic growth. But according to Accenture's report, artificial intelligence, as another influencing factor in manufacturing, has the potential to bring about new growth, change the way of working, and strengthen the role of people in promoting business growth.

Accenture Chief Technology Officer Paul Daugherty said that artificial intelligence is the biggest driving force in today’s global economic transformation. He said: "We are still just at the beginning of a new era in artificial intelligence, which will bring about tremendous changes to the enterprise. It will bring more changes than cloud computing, and it will also exceed the entire digital business wave we have seen, because It will change the way people interact with technology, consumers and employees."

China: Artificial Intelligence Becomes an Economic Driving Force

The Accenture report did not study the promotion of artificial intelligence on the Chinese economy. However, the manifestation of the role of artificial intelligence in the Chinese economy and its importance have also emerged.

For the Chinese economy, the status quo that the manufacturing industry is large but not strong still makes it at the third stage in the international arena, at least 20 years away from Japan and Germany. As far as the domestic situation is concerned, with the sluggish real economy, the manufacturing industry is still in a state of loss, and it is urgently needed for technological transformation as an opportunity for industrial innovation. This kind of technological innovation must be accomplished by artificial intelligence technology.

In July 2015, "Artificial Intelligence" was pushed to the national strategic level in the "Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Actively Promoting the "Internet Plus" Initiative." In March 2016, the term "artificial intelligence" was first written into the Outline of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" and was listed as a key technological breakthrough in China in the future. In addition, according to BBC forecast data, the global artificial intelligence market will be approximately 119 billion renminbi in 2020 and approximately 9.1 billion in China.
