The First Hype Cycle for Data, Analytics and AI in China

The Data, Analytics and AI team in China has recently released the inaugural Hype Cycle for China, which also serves as a research piece for a global audience seeking to comprehend the latest innovations emerging from this region. We have identified several innovation areas specific to China, including Data Asset Management, Homegrown AI Chips, Data Middle Office and DBMS Self-Sufficiency. We have contextualized some global innovations within the Chinese market to better serve our regional clients, including Data Fabric, Lakehouse, Foundational Models and Generative AI. Data and AI are crucial to China's digital economy and national strategy, with a unique, value-adding position supported by regulatory frameworks.
