China’s use of artificial intelligence in key manufacturing scenarios rose in early 2026 as the European Union expands shared computing capacity, with the figures tracing different parts of industrial deployment. The scenario-use measure reached 34.2% in the first half of 2026, an increase of 5.5 percentage points from the year-earlier period. A separate indicator put at 10.6% the share of large-scale manufacturing enterprises using large AI models for business innovation. Neither percentage means that share of all Chinese factories use AI.
