人工智能生成日内瓦消息——联合国9月29日表示，人工智能正推动创新投资反弹，企业研发支出创下历史新高。
AI generated GENEVA – Artificial intelligence is fuelling a rebound in investment in innovation, with corporate research and development spending reaching record highs, the United Nations said on Sept 29.
联合国世界知识产权组织表示，尽管风险投资交易数量正在减少，并日益集中于人工智能企业，但更多资金正流入风险投资领域。
The UN’s World Intellectual Property Organisation said more money was going into venture capital (VC), even as the number of VC deals was shrinking and becoming increasingly concentrated on AI firms.
作为联合国旗下的专利和创新机构，世界知识产权组织表示，人工智能正在缩短科学发现的路径，并推动全球经济的很大一部分增长。
World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), the UN patent and innovation agency, said AI was shortening the paths of discovery and fuelling much of the world’s economic growth.
世界知识产权组织总干事唐棣对记者表示：“人工智能不仅是一项突破性技术，还将改变我们的创新和创造方式。”
“AI is not just a breakthrough technology; it’s going to change the way that we innovate and create,” WIPO chief Daren Tang told reporters.
唐棣说：“新一代深科技初创企业正在将科研突破转化为产品，并改变生命科学、太空、机器人学和清洁能源等领域。”他表示，2026年创新投资保持韧性，甚至“开始再次增长”。
“A new generation of deep-science start-ups is translating breakthroughs into products and transforming fields such as life sciences, space, robotics and clean energy.”Tang said innovation investment had remained resilient in 2026 and was even “beginning to see growth again”.
世界知识产权组织表示，全球研发支出预计将在2026年达到3.4万亿美元（4.35万亿新加坡元），增速将超过国内生产总值；企业研发支出则在2025年达到创纪录的1.5万亿美元，同比增长5.8%。
Global research and development is expected to reach US$3.4 trillion (S$4.35 trillion) in 2026, growing faster than gross domestic product growth, while corporate R&D reached a record US$1.5 trillion in 2025, up 5.8%, said WIPO.

“AI might reverse this productivity slump that we have seen for the last 15 to 20 years in high-income economies,” said Sacha Wunsch-Vincent, co-editor of WIPO’s annual Global Innovation Index.
他向记者们强调：“如果能够得到正确应用，人工智能将有助于所有行业的发展。”
If applied correctly, artificial intelligence would help every sector, he told reporters.
“目前真正需要解决的问题是：我们如何将这种创新势头扩展到不仅仅是大型语言模型（LLM）这一技术领域。我们注意到，许多传统上的研发支出大户——如制药业、汽车行业和建筑行业——都在削减其研发开支。”
“The open question here really is how can we broaden this innovation spurt beyond this one technology only, which is currently mostly LLM (large language models). We see a lot of the traditional big R&D spenders – pharma, cars, construction – cutting back on their R&D spend,” he noted.
唐（Tang）表示，他希望人工智能能够成为“一种能够惠及所有行业的‘上升趋势’；因为一个健康的创新生态系统需要在尽可能多的技术领域都具备竞争力。”
Tang said he hoped AI was “a rising tide that lifts all boats because... a healthy innovation ecosystem needs to be able to have strength in as many areas of technology as possible.”Global country rankings For the 16th consecutive year, Switzerland led the Global Innovation Index, which tracks innovation drivers in the world’s economies.
