Abstract: The market prospect and violent computing features of artificial Intelligence are driving the new demand for the technology innovation and market expansion of the chips, which promotes the artificial intelligence chips to become a new focus of global competitions in the integrated circuits fields.At present, the artificial intelligence chips demonstrate a development trend of multi-path technology. The international giants represented by NVIDIA, Intel and Google have accelerated the research and development of the artificial intelligence chips to seize the market opportunities initially; Chinese enterprises have quickly followed up and made some progress in partial fields, but the weak foundation of the domestic integrated circuit industry may restrict the innovation and development of artificial intelligence chips. Therefore, it is urgent to take use of the market-driven advantages, strengthen the core technology research, promote industrial cooperation, and finally accelerate the development of the artificial intelligence chips industry.

Key words: artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence chips, GPU, FPGA, ASIC
