The global AI investment market has experienced a significant cooling in 2023, especially in the Chinese market, where the number and amount of financing have dropped significantly. This is closely related to the fact that the global AI industry has entered a period of consolidation, as well as the current situation of high costs and intensified competition. Take Perplexity AI as an example. Its valuation of US$3.7 billion has not been immune to the impact of the market downturn and is facing pressure to be acquired. However, in the overall sluggish environment, the field of generative AI has shown strong growth momentum and has become one of the few bright spots in the market.
Financing in the global AI field will hit a trough in 2023, with the number and total amount of financing in China plummeting. Perplexity AI, valued at US$3.7 billion, is facing pressure to sell, with high costs and intensifying competition being the main reasons. The global AI industry has entered a period of consolidation, with the field of generative AI performing prominently.
The future development of the AI industry is full of uncertainties, but the outstanding performance of generative AI has injected new vitality into the industry. During the integration period, companies need to actively adjust their strategies and improve their competitiveness in order to remain invincible in future market competition. This is both a challenge and an opportunity.
