Artificial　intelligence　(AI)　technology　is　a　new　focus　for　international　competition,　with　countries　around　the　world　accelerating　major　outlay　to　enhance　their　innovation　competitiveness.　Identifying　the　global　situation　of　AI　technology　is　a　strategic　issue　for　enterprises　and　countries.　Considering　current　deficiencies　in　research　directed　towards　this,　the　content　for　analysing　technological　competition　situations　should　be　determined　from　the　two　most　relevant　levels　of:　1)　technology＇s　dimension;　2)　research　and　development　(R&D)　actors＇　dimension,　with　time　(T),　market　(M),　technology　(T)　and　subject　(S)　as　its　four　elements.　This　paper,　therefore,　proposes　an　analytical　framework　of　technological　competition　situation,　based　on　the　four　dimensions　of　TMTS.　AI　technology　is　taken　as　an　example　to　verify　the　feasibility　and　effectiveness　of　the　analytical　framework.　This　paper　will　contribute　to　our　understanding　of　the　global　competitive　situation　of　AI　technology,　and　will　be　of　interest　to　AI　technology＇s　R&D　experts.
