【Knowledge Points】
In 2024, the “Artificial Intelligence +” action was written into the government work report for the first time. The 2025 Government Work Report further proposes to continue to promote the “Artificial Intelligence +” action. “Artificial Intelligence+” represents a new model of cooperation, that is, organically combining artificial intelligence technology with other industries or fields to create more value. This integration is not limited to the application of existing artificial intelligence technologies in specific fields, but also involves the use of professional knowledge and data in different fields to achieve complementarity and synergy effects, promote common progress of technology and industry, and cultivate new quality productivity and new driving force for economic growth. The proposal of the word “action” emphasizes the practical requirements of “artificial intelligence +”. Implementing the “Artificial Intelligence +” action means that my country will implement the application of artificial intelligence in all walks of life based on big models, big data, and large computing power technologies, thereby improving the level of industrial automation, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and promoting the digital economy to a new level.
my country has initially built a relatively comprehensive artificial intelligence industry system. As of December 2024, the scale of the core artificial intelligence industry has reached nearly 600 billion yuan, and the number of upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain exceeds 4,700, covering various related links such as chips, computing power, data, platforms, and applications.
The 2025 Government Work Report proposes to continue to promote the “Artificial Intelligence +” action, which is to seize the opportunity of breakthroughs in artificial intelligence technology, fully combine my country’s digital technology with manufacturing advantages and market scale advantages, promote the widespread application of artificial intelligence models, and strive to promote artificial intelligence to truly empower thousands of industries and enter thousands of households. In terms of industrial empowerment, we must allow artificial intelligence to be used as much as possible in industry, agriculture, and service industries, actively support the development and application of large models in vertical fields, and allow artificial intelligence to truly empower industrial transformation and upgrading and empower new quality productivity. In terms of terminal applications, we must promote the rapid development of new generation of smart terminals such as intelligent connected cars, AI mobile phones, AI computers, and intelligent robots. In terms of scenario cultivation, a demonstration action for large-scale application of new technologies, new products and new scenarios will be carried out in 2025. On the premise of ensuring safety, we will accelerate the application of artificial intelligence in multiple scenarios such as low-altitude economy, education and training, and medical care.
