Japan Economic News Network reported on December 12 that the analysis of the Institute of Science, Technology and Academic Policy under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan showed that from the results of the publication of major international societies, China and the United States occupied an overwhelming advantage, while joint research between the two countries. The report is also increasing. In addition, there have been cases of Chinese companies providing research investments to American universities. The Japanese government has positioned AI as the backbone of its growth strategy, but Japan has made slow progress in basic research. To make a comeback, perhaps a fundamental response is needed.
AI research has led the world in basic research by American universities such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California, and Stanford University. Recently, IT companies such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are also pushing forward. At the same time, the research capabilities of Chinese universities and enterprises have also begun to rise.

Japan analyzed three international conferences with authority in the field of AI research. Experts have been reviewed before attending these meetings, and less than 30% have been approved. Only high-level results can be published. For the meetings held in 2010-2015, the classification is based on the publisher, affiliates, and nationality.
Judging from the international conference of the most authoritative American Society of Artificial Intelligence, the results of the publications of the United States and China have surged in the past three years. In 2015, the number of universities and enterprises in the United States reached 326 (48.4%), the highest proportion, followed by China with 138 (20.5%). The two countries account for about 70% of the total. Japan ranks 8th, only 20 (3%).
From the overall situation of the six years, 74.6% of the results published in the United States are joint research with other countries, especially with China reaching 80, which is obviously more. Some analysts believe that there are many cases in which Chinese students study together with American universities after returning to China. On the other hand, from the joint research of Japan, there are 6 projects in the United States and 5 in China. The weak relationship with China and the United States may lead to a decline in Japan’s competitiveness.
Under the leadership of President Obama, the United States has strengthened its AI research using big data. On the enterprise side, the automatic translation AI developed by Google is highly accurate and has attracted the attention of researchers. The company's DeepMindTechnologies are gaining results in emulating the AI ​​that humans use to judge this mechanism.
In addition, as an important issue of the country, China has also developed a plan for the promotion of AI research. Not only for autonomous driving and robotics, but also for a wide range of applications in logistics and agriculture. The Microsoft research base in Beijing is considered to be second to none in Asia. On the enterprise side, search engine giant Baidu established a research institute in Silicon Valley in 2014, and invited the world's first AI researcher, Andrew Ng, as the person in charge, and continued to actively recruit researchers. In addition, communications equipment giant Huawei Technologies has also collaborated with the University of California at Berkeley in basic research.
In the budgetary requirements of the 2017 Budget, Japan has applied for 92.4 billion yen for AI-related research, which is nine times the initial budget for 2016, and is actively responding. It is planned to establish an artificial intelligence research institute representing Japan in the Institute of Physical Chemistry to strengthen cooperation with enterprises and launch new drug development plans based on artificial intelligence.
