BEIJING — China’s video-heavy entertainment world has yielded a trove of data for companies — and they’re now ramping up money-making artificial intelligence tools for generating ads and film clips.
TikTok parent ByteDance holds the first and third spots in research firm Artificial Analysis’ top-ranked text-to-video generative AI models, which were launched in the last two months. Google holds the second and fourth spots, while Beijing-based short video app Kuaishou’s
Kling AI ranks fifth.
Despite some consolidation in other parts of the AI industry, “competition in AI video generation models is at an earlier stage, and some Chinese companies have emerged as early leaders in this space,” said Wei Xiong, China internet analyst at UBS Securities.
“We believe AI video generation has the potential to reshape the content industry,” she said, “by enhancing production efficiency, lowering barriers to creation and unlocking new monetization models.”
