China wrestles with ‘quantity over quality’ in generative AI patents
Al JazeeraChina has filed for more patents than any other country, but US export controls are not its only hurdle. In July, the UN’s intellectual property agency reported that China had filed more than 38,000 generative AI patents over the past decade, more than all other countries combined. The latest AI boom started with Google’s development of the groundbreaking “transformer” in 2017 – the neural network architecture that underlies generative AI including its large language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. “Although China filed the most generative AI patents in the world, far more than the US, much of these Chinese patents did not and were unable to be translated into forces to help bring the rise of LLMs and other fundamental AI models,” said Alex He, a senior fellow at the Center for International Governance Innovation, a Canadian think tank. Generative AI patents, led by China’s private tech sector are “better than most” according to He, and driven by “real innovative industry research” to catch up or cash in on demand, but he says there has also been a longstanding problem of rewarding quantity over quality.
