Assessing the Capacity of Structural Segments of the Artificial Intelligence Market

Abstract

The paper provides a situational analysis of the state of artificial intelligence technologies in the world. The aim of the work is to obtain high-quality assessments of the state of development and implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in various areas of life. The capacity indices of three structural segments of the artificial intelligence field (scientific publications, patenting and startups) in the world and Russia have been estimated. The article presents quantitative indicators characterizing the capacity of the structural segments of artificial intelligence developments. The current situation of publishing scientific activity in Scopus and Web of Science and also in comparison with the Russian database of scientific publications indexing is analyzed. The leading countries for publications in indexed databases are identified and their strengths and weaknesses are analyzed. Leading organizations and companies engaged in scientific activities in this area have been identified and evaluated. A comparative analysis of the trend of developments patenting using artificial intelligence has been provided. Leading countries and companies actively patenting their developments have been revealed. The paper analyzes the features of patenting and ownership of patent portfolios. The results of the analysis of patent portfolios owned by global companies are shown. The influence of the size of the patent portfolio on the market positions of world developers of artificial intelligence technologies is determined. The current situation with venture investment in the development of artificial intelligence technologies is described. The leading role of machine learning at the present stage of development is shown. Summarized statistics of startups using these technologies are given. The position of Russian scientists and developers regarding the leading positions in the segments of scientific publications, the development of new technologies and the introduction of innovations in practice is shown. The study showed which of the areas at the current time are actively developing in the most developed countries from a technological and computer point of view. The forecasts of the development of this technological direction for implementation into practice are analyzed.KeywordsArtificial intelligenceMarket capacityPatentStartupJEL ClassificationO32
