In 2023, the share of scientific publications in AI involving international collaboration in China was higher, but forecasted data suggests a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. The share decreases slightly each year, reflecting a modest decline in international collaboration in the field within China. Year-on-year variations show a steady decline, with minimal changes annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a small reduction over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in China's domestic AI research capacity, increased competition or collaboration with emerging research hubs globally, and policy changes impacting international research partnerships.
