China is leading the world in the use and investment of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology, with 83% of respondents admitting to using generative AI, according to a survey by SAS and Coleman Parkes Research. The UK and US followed with 70% and 65% respectively. However, the US leads in fully implemented generative AI, with 24% compared to China's 19%. Despite restrictions on access to US technology, China remains bullish on AI, filing over 38,000 generative AI-related patents in the last decade compared to the US's 6,276.
