Artificial Intelligence (AI) in China is transforming the landscape of security surveillance at an unprecedented rate and scale. From urban traffic management to community safety, from border control to personal identification, the application of AI technology is injecting new vitality into China's security surveillance sector.
1. Rapid Development of AI Security
In recent years, the market size of AI security in China has continued to expand. In 2020, the AI+security market size reached 45.3 billion yuan, with an expected growth to over 90 billion yuan by 2025. This growth is attributed to the widespread application of AI technology in security fields, including facial recognition, video structuring, and vehicle structuring. The rapid development of AI technology has shifted security surveillance systems from passive defense to proactive warning, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of public safety management.
2. Policy Support and Market Demand
The Chinese government has provided strong policy support for the development of AI security. With the implementation of the "13th Five-Year Plan" and the opening of the "14th Five-Year Plan," AI security construction has shifted from single-point breakthroughs to a more comprehensive and systematic approach. At the same time, societal demands for safety are continuously increasing, driving the security industry to innovate and develop. From personal information security to national security, the demand for "AI+security" products is becoming increasingly urgent.
3. Technological Breakthroughs and Practical Applications
At the technical level, the core of AI security lies in computer vision and knowledge graph technologies. Companies like YITU Technology are focusing on key technologies such as multi-modal large models, promoting the industrial application of these technologies. The application of these technologies allows security surveillance systems to more accurately recognize and analyze video content, bringing revolutionary changes to the industry.
4. AI Democratization and Terminal Products
The democratization of AI is an important trend in the development of AI security. As the cost of AI technology decreases year by year, intelligent cameras will surpass network cameras, and 1T computing power will become the starting configuration for the entire industry. AI technology is moving from security to various terminals, to autonomous driving, to healthcare, and to various industries.
5. AI Anti-Epidemic Practices During the Pandemic
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 made the public realize the necessity of multi-modal biometric recognition technology applications, and its safety and convenience have become the development direction for identity recognition and certification in the context of the pandemic and beyond. During the pandemic, the large-scale application of health codes and temperature measurement products has further promoted the development and application of AI security technology.
6. Future Trends of AI Security
In the future, the market pattern of the AI security track has begun to enter a stable period, with players using computer vision technology and AIoT technology as entry points to expand their businesses in the broader market of smart cities. The boundaries of AI security will become increasingly blurred, and its security functions will be integrated into various aspects of urban management and governance as an important module of AI technology in urban data perception, cognition, and decision support.
