China's Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry has developed rapidly in recent years, with the State Council of China releasing a roadmap in July 2017 with a goal of creating a domestic industry worth 1 trillion Yuan and becoming a global AI powerhouse by 2030. This study evaluates the listed companies in China's AI industry from the perspective of financial performance and analyzes the development status of China's AI industry from a macro perspective.
