Definition of “AI-influenced” revenues: a) sales of existing products and services made possible through better AI-driven insights on customers, supply chain, channels, b) sales of new products and services made possible by human and AI, and c) higher prices through dynamic pricing ML algorithms. These sales include some cannibalization and net new revenues. In contrast, this definition is excluding higher efficiencies in production operations thanks to AI. Source: Accenture. Despite this promising outlook, studies and consultations conducted for this paper indicate that genAI’s industrial application in China is still in its early stages. Large-scale, integrated deployment remains limited as companies work to overcome various challenges, detailed below. As China’s AI ecosystem matures, these initial explorations will lay the groundwork for deeper, more transformative impact in the future. 7 Blueprint to Action: China’s Path to AI-Powered Industry Transformation
