Abstract This paper presents a statistical analysis of the application and funding status of some projects in the two program series of "Talent" and "Research" under the National Natural Science Foundation(NSFC) in the field of artificial intelligence(application code F06) for the year 2023. The application code, the distribution of the supporting institutions and their trends over the past five years are analyzed. Additionally, the evaluation status of the field categorized by scientific problem attributes is introduced, as well as the relevant evaluation principles and measures in this field. Finally, the paper concludes with a summary and outlook, aiming at providing the reference for the relevant researchers to learn the research hotspots and future directions of this field.
