Abstract:As a major industrial country, Germany has clear policies in the field of AI and huge potential for cooperation with China. To strengthen the development of China’s AI industry, based on text mining theory, this paper uses policy tools and the PMC policy evaluation model to quantitatively analyse the 18 AI policy documents issued by the German federal government between 2017 and 2022, and deeply investigates the future development trend of Germany’s AI industry, the structure of policy tools, and also evaluates policy effectiveness. It is concluded that China should strengthen its support for fundamental research and development in key areas of AI and accelerate the construction of an AI talent training system, pay attention to demand-based and environment-based policy tools, and focus on the role dimension and incentives of policies to achieve sustainable development of the AI industry.
