On the news front, on January 21 local time, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated at the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, that AI development requires "the largest infrastructure buildout in human history," needing trillions of dollars in new investment. He noted that 2025 was the year with the highest global venture capital investment, exceeding $100 billion worldwide, with the majority flowing into AI-native startups. Huang compared AI to a "five-layer cake" composed of energy, chips, cloud infrastructure, models, and applications, stating that AI applications are the most crucial layer of this cake as they are the source of economic benefits.
Focusing domestically, at a press conference on January 21, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that according to estimates, the number of artificial intelligence enterprises in China will exceed 6,000 by 2025, with the core industry scale expected to surpass 1.2 trillion yuan and intelligent computing power reaching 1,590 EFLOPS. Simultaneously, the Ministry stated that the national artificial intelligence industry investment fund, with a scale of 60 billion yuan, has commenced operations and will systematically promote breakthroughs in AI large/small models and intelligent agents, injecting strong momentum into industrial economic growth.
Industry insiders point out that the primary application direction for AI currently remains AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content), and there are now attempts to extend into manufacturing. Only by transforming manufacturing and achieving AI+Manufacturing can AI be regarded as a genuine productivity tool, and the changes brought by AI would then constitute a true technological revolution.
CSC Financial pointed out that the AI industry is currently experiencing密集 dynamic activity, with overseas firms like xAI and Anthropic securing funding successively, the domestic "AI + Manufacturing Policy" being introduced, and significant IPO surges for Zhipu and MiniMax. Subsequent launches, such as DeepSeek-V4, are expected to trigger a new wave of AI application enthusiasm. As model capabilities continue to improve, especially with the significant decrease in reasoning and long-context window costs, downstream AI application scenarios are accelerating into the commercial validation stage, and the commercialization process is expected to further accelerate.
It is noteworthy that the underlying index of the Science and Technology Innovation AI ETF (589520) comprehensively covers four key segments: application software, terminal applications, terminal chips, and cloud chips. The AI industry chain is developing from the cloud towards the edge and shifting from reliance on foreign technology towards self-reliance and controllability. The Science and Technology Innovation AI direction aligns with the current state of the AI industry chain and may possess greater potential.
Against the backdrop of technological friction, the importance of information security and industrial security has become prominent. As a core technology, achieving self-reliance and controllability in AI is crucial. The Science and Technology Innovation AI ETF (589520) and its feeder funds (Feeder A: 024560, Feeder C: 024561) focus on the domestic AI industry chain. Their constituent stocks include domestic GPU leaders (such as Cambricon), domestic ASIC leaders (such as VeriSilicon Holdings), and AI application leaders (such as Kingsoft Office). The top ten holdings account for nearly 70% of the weight, with the largest sector, semiconductors, comprising nearly half the weight, indicating strong offensive potential; the software sector weight exceeds 30%, positioning it to potentially benefit from catch-up rallies in AI applications. Furthermore, this ETF is a margin trading security, making it an efficient tool for a one-stop allocation to domestic computing power.
