Report: China’s generative AI AI users surpass 700000000, with a penetration rate exceeding 50%
PANews September 29 According to news, CCTV News reported that China’s Generative Artificial Intelligence Application Development Report (2026) shows that the number of generative artificial intelligence users has surpassed 700000000 people, with a penetration rate exceeding 50%。76.0%of users use it for intelligent question answering, 47.8%for image/video processing, 32.5%for work summaries and PPT other scenarios. The report states that, as of 2026, China's intelligent computing power scale reached June; year-on-year growth was 2185 EFLOPS. The first fully domestic 177%-card artificial intelligence supercluster was officially put into operation, with coordinated development of computing power, models, and data. All six of the top positions on global mainstream leaderboards for local open-source large models with trillions of parameters were occupied by Chinese teams. Generative 100000 has already been deployed at scale in industry, agriculture, services, and other fields. In the first half of the year, humanoid robot complete-machine products exceeded AI models, and annual output is expected to exceed 400 units.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This news describes the growth of generative AI in terms of user numbers, usage scenarios, computing power, and industrial applications. The report also mentions that large domestic artificial intelligence computing clusters have already been put into operation and that a considerable number of related humanoid robot products have emerged.
Why it matters to readers
If the data in the report are corroborated by the original report and other materials, this indicates that the use of generative AI, the scale of infrastructure, and industrial applications are all expanding.
Generative AI is used not only for chat-based question answering, but also for image and video processing, work summaries,PPT as well as applications in industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and services.
Risks and unknowns
The full original report and independent verification materials were not provided, and the statistical methodology cited in the report remains to be confirmed.
The leaderboard referred to as the “top six positions on the global mainstream model-calling leaderboard,” its selection criteria, and the specific models were not disclosed.
The annual output of humanoid robots is a projected figure; actual output has not yet been confirmed.
