China's rapid integration of artificial intelligence into manufacturing, healthcare and consumer industries is creating a development model that offers lessons for global businesses, according to research by global consultancy firm Gartner.
The company has unveiled its "Gartner China AI 25" list, which identifies 25 Chinese companies at the forefront of applying AI technologies across products, services and research.
"China's unique large-scale AI experimentation is being transformed into enterprise insights with global reference value," said Mike Fang, a senior analyst at Gartner.
Rather than focusing solely on software or large language models, many of the selected companies are embedding AI into real-world industrial scenarios, ranging from intelligent manufacturing and autonomous mobility to smart energy systems and next-generation consumer products.
According to Fang, one of China's biggest strengths lies in its ability to connect innovation across the entire industrial chain.
