据钛媒体最新报道，中美在人工智能（AI）领域的差距似乎正在进一步扩大。尽管全球AI投融资活动整体降温，美国在2023年的AI领域总融资额仍达到了310亿美元，占据全球交易近半壁江山。相比之下，中国的AI投融资数量和总额双双下滑，第一季度的数据更是创下近五年来的新低，显示出中国AI行业面临的资金困境。
彭博数据显示，全球最富有的500人中有30位的财富直接源于AI产业，其中大部分是美国企业家。今年至今，他们持有的净资产总计增长了1240亿美元，这一增长比例占到彭博亿万富翁指数财富增加总额的96%，凸显了AI在美国经济中的影响力。
此外，美国OpenAI公司于2月15日发布的创新AI视频生成模型Sora，被业界认为可能加剧中美之间的AI技术差距。Sora的发布不仅展示了美国在AI技术研发上的领先地位，也可能对全球AI市场的格局产生深远影响，尤其是对正在经历融资寒冬的中国AI企业来说，挑战与压力倍增。
这一系列数据和事件表明，中美两国在AI领域的竞争格局正在发生微妙变化，美国在资本和技术上的双重优势或将推动其在全球AI竞赛中保持领先。中国AI行业急需寻找新的增长点和资金来源，以应对日益严峻的国际竞争态势。

Title: “Widening Gap in AI Between China and the US: 96% of US Billionaires’ Wealth Tied to AI, China’s Funding Plummets”
Keywords: China-US AI disparity, US billionaire AI wealth, OpenAI’s new model
News Content:
The gap in artificial intelligence (AI) between China and the US appears to be expanding, as reported recently by TMTPOST. Despite a global cooldown in AI investment and financing activities, the US saw a total of $31 billion in AI funding in 2023, accounting for nearly half of global transactions. In contrast, both the volume and total value of AI investments and financing in China have declined, with the first quarter figures marking a five-year low, indicating a funding crisis for China’s AI industry.
According to Bloomberg data, 30 of the world’s 500 wealthiest individuals owe their fortunes directly to the AI sector, predominantly American entrepreneurs. Their combined net worth has increased by $124 billion year-to-date, representing 96% of the total wealth growth in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, underscoring AI’s significance in the US economy.
Furthermore, OpenAI’s innovative AI video generation model, Sora, released on February 15, is believed to exacerbate the technology gap between the two nations. Sora’s launch not only demonstrates the US’s lead in AI research and development but is also expected to have profound implications on the global AI market landscape, particularly for Chinese AI companies navigating a funding winter, multiplying their challenges and pressures.
These developments suggest a nuanced shift in the competitive landscape of AI between the two countries, with the US’s dual advantages in capital and technology potentially propelling it to maintain its lead in the global AI race. China’s AI industry urgently needs to identify new growth drivers and funding sources to address the intensifying international competitive landscape.
