截至6月底,中国生成式人工智能用户规模已超过7亿,占总人口的一半以上。随着人工智能的广泛应用,该技术在中国的普及率达到了历史新高。

China’s generative artificial intelligence user base surpassed 700 million at the end of June, accounting for more than half of the population as wide AI adoption pushes the technology’s penetration rate to a record high in the country. The user base data, released Tuesday by the China Internet Network Information Centre, represents an increase of 16 per cent from the end of 2025, when China had 602 million generative AI users with a penetration rate of 42.8 per cent.

中国互联网络信息中心周二发布的数据显示,这一用户规模较2025年底增长了16%,当时中国生成式人工智能用户为6.02亿,普及率为42.8%。

Question-and-answer services remain the most common use of generative AI in China.

问答服务仍然是中国生成式人工智能最常见的用途。在对用户的一项调查中,76%的受访者表示他们使用该技术来寻求答案。近一半(48%)的用户使用人工智能工具处理图像或视频,38%的用户将其用于文本处理,33%的用户用于工作总结、会议记录或演示文稿。

In a survey of users, 76 per cent said they used the technology to seek answers. Nearly half, or 48 per cent, employed AI tools to process images or videos, while 38 per cent used it for text processing and 33 per cent for work summaries, meeting notes or presentations. The report said AI adoption had also expanded beyond software.

报告称,人工智能的应用范围也已超越软件领域。约39%的用户在过去六个月内在线购买了智能硬件。

Some 39 per cent of users had bought smart hardware online during the past six months. As well as gaining traction in the consumer market, Chinese AI labs – which develop models to power the consumer applications and hardware – have advanced their technologies, according to the report, citing trillion-parameter open-weight models launched this year from domestic giants including DeepSeek and Moonshot AI.

报告指出,除了在消费市场获得关注外,开发支持这些消费级应用和硬件模型的中国人工智能实验室也取得了技术进步,并提到了今年由深度求索(DeepSeek)和月之暗面(Moonshot AI)等国内巨头推出的万亿参数开源权重模型。

The digital infrastructure that lays the foundation for AI computation also grew rapidly.

为人工智能计算奠定基础的数字基础设施也实现了快速增长。报告显示,截至6月底,全国智能算力规模较去年同期激增177%,达到2185 EFLOPS。EFLOPS(每秒百亿亿次浮点运算)是衡量计算机系统速度的单位。

As of the end of June, intelligent computing capacity in the country surged by 177 per cent to 2,185 eflops from a year earlier, the report said. Eflops, short for exa floating-point operations per second, is a unit for measuring the speed of a computer system. The rapid expansion echoed an earlier Morgan Stanley survey that found AI adoption in China has surpassed that of the United States.

这种快速扩张与摩根士丹利此前的一项调查结果相呼应,该调查发现中国的人工智能普及率已超过美国。摩根士丹利在本月初发布的一份报告中表示,80%的中国受访者每周至少使用一次人工智能用于个人目的,而美国这一比例为54%。

Some 80 per cent of Chinese respondents used AI for personal purposes at least once a week, compared with 54 per cent in the US, the bank said in a report earlier this month. It attributed China’s advantage largely to the integration of AI into widely used shopping, messaging, search and entertainment platforms rather than superior model performance.

该报告将中国的竞争优势主要归因于人工智能(AI)被整合到了广泛使用的购物、通讯、搜索和娱乐平台中,而非因为中国的AI模型本身具有更出色的性能。
