Top 10 AI patent companies in 2020: more than half in the United States and only two in China

近日，GlobalData发布了2020年各科技公司在人工智能领域的专利清单，一些传统行业的公司在人工智能领域并不落后。排名前十的公司中，有一半来自美国，其余来自中国、日本和韩国。

Recently, GlobalData released a list of patents of various technology companies in the field of AI in 2020, and some companies in traditional industries are not lagging behind in the field of AI. Half of the top 10 companies are from the United States, and the rest are from China, Japan and South Korea.

关于"哪家公司是人工智能领域最好的公司"一直存在争论。GlobalData整理了世界上各个公司在人工智能领域发表的专利，在一定程度上可以看出哪家公司对人工智能的投资更多。

There has always been a debate about "which company is the best in AI". GlobalData collates the patents published by various companies in the world in the field of AI, which can show which company invests more in AI to a certain extent.

人工智能专利申请不仅是衡量一个企业未来数字化战略的标准，而且在一定程度上回答了谁在人工智能霸权竞争中胜出的问题。

AI patent application is not only the standard to measure a company's future digital strategy, but also answers the question of who is winning AI hegemony competition to some extent.

第十名：佳能

10th place: Canon

我们对佳能的日常理解仅限于"经常移动"和"欺骗屏幕"。事实上，佳能还专注于生产相机、医疗设备、扫描仪、打印机和半导体制造设备。

Our daily understanding of Canon is limited to "moving often" and "deceiving screens". In fact, Canon also focuses on the production of cameras, medical equipment, scanners, printers and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

佳能成立于1937年，至今已有83年的历史。它有大约20万名员工。由于拥有充足的资金"现金能力"，研发团队具有较强的创新能力，每年在其他领域都有大量的专利申请。

Canon was founded in 1937 with a history of 83 years. It has about 200000 employees. Due to the sufficient capital "cash ability", the R & D team has strong innovation ability, and there are a lot of patent applications in other fields every year.

第六名：阿里巴巴

Sixth place: Alibaba

阿里巴巴成立才22年，我们对它的印象可能是淘宝和电子商务的领导者。

Alibaba was founded only 22 years ago, and our impression of it is probably the leader of Taobao and e-commerce.

支付宝的安全系统也是业内最好的，没有"芝麻开门"是破解不了的。

Alipay's security system is also the best in the industry, and it can't be cracked without a "sesame open door".

除了作为领先的云提供商和技术巨头，微软还领导机器学习研究和人工智能开发。

In addition to being a leading cloud provider and technology giant, Microsoft also leads machine learning research and artificial intelligence development.

虽然微软是个巨人，但并不是所有的人工智能实验都特别成功。

Although Microsoft is a giant, not all AI experiments are particularly successful.

2016年，微软发布了一款聊天机器人tay，一名19岁的女性。最初的设计意图是促进人工智能的研究。然而，由于模型的不可解释性，泰好几次上线。微软只能删除不适当的评论，然后直接离线调整。我们不知道泰伊为什么倾向于纳粹。人工智能需要更谨慎地使用。

In 2016, Microsoft released a chat robot, tay, a 19-year-old female. The original design intention was to promote AI research. However, due to the unexplainability of the model, there were several times when Tay went online. Microsoft could only delete inappropriate comments and then adjust it directly offline. We don't know why Tay tends to be Nazi. AI needs to be used more carefully.

第四名：IBM

Fourth place: IBM

IBM是名单上历史最悠久的公司，已经存在了109年。

IBM is the oldest company on the list and has been in existence for 109 years.

后记

epilogue

所有在人工智能轨道上的公司都取得了惊人的进步。人工智能改变了我们的生活，包括航海、财产安全、医疗等等。尽管他们申请的大部分专利可能永远不会与我们见面，但只要有一小部分成为现实，就会大大方便我们的生活。

All the companies on AI track have made amazing progress. AI has changed our lives, including navigation, property safety, medical treatment and so on. Although most of the patents they applied for may never meet with us, as long as a small part becomes reality, it will greatly facilitate our lives.

2010年，而不是2021年。

In 2010, not 2021.
