ABSTRACT
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry has developed rapidly in recent years. AI has become an emerging industry in China. This paper first introduces the characteristics and connotations of AI and then compares the status of the AI industry in more developed cities at home and abroad with that in Tianjin. It finds that the AI industry in Tianjin faces some challenges, including insufficient innovation ability, few AI hardware and software products, lack of benchmarking enterprises, and poor integration with the manufacturing industry. To promote the development of the Tianjin AI industry, it is necessary to take some measures to guarantee the AI enterprise growth. Some measures about independent innovation, talents training, policy support, and AI hardware and software products research and development should be adopted.
