【Knowledge Points】
Artificial Intelligence is abbreviated as AI in English. It is a new technical science for the research and development of theories, methods, technologies and application systems used to simulate, extend and expand human intelligence. Artificial intelligence is an important driving force for the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has attached great importance to the development of my country’s new generation of artificial intelligence. General Secretary Xi Jinping accurately grasped the laws of economic and social development and the trend of scientific and technological development, had a profound insight into the strategic significance of artificial intelligence, and put forward a series of new ideas, new views and new conclusions. In a congratulatory letter to the 2024 World Intelligent Industry Expo, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that “China attaches great importance to the development of artificial intelligence, actively promotes the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy, cultivates and strengthens the intelligent industry, accelerates the development of new quality productivity, and provides new impetus for high-quality development.” This important statement provides scientific guidance and practical guidance for my country’s artificial intelligence research, application and industrialization, and also provides Chinese solutions for the international community, especially the vast number of developing countries in the field of artificial intelligence, demonstrating China’s wisdom and Chinese responsibility.
At present, we are ushering in a historic intersection between the world’s new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and my country’s transformation of development mode. We are facing both once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunities and severe challenges of widening gaps. As an important driving force for the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence is the strategic commanding height of competition among major powers. Whoever can seize the initiative and win the initiative in the field of artificial intelligence will be able to gain more voice on the international stage and lay a solid foundation for the long-term stability of the country and the happiness and well-being of the people. When presiding over the 20th collective study of the 20th Central Political Bureau, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping emphasized that in order to gain the lead and gain advantages in the field of artificial intelligence, breakthroughs must be made in basic theories, methods, tools, etc. We must continue to strengthen basic research, concentrate our efforts on conquering core technologies such as high-end chips and basic software, and build an independent, controllable, collaborative operation of basic artificial intelligence software and hardware systems. Lead the transformation of scientific research paradigm with artificial intelligence and accelerate breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation in various fields. Xi Jinping pointed out that artificial intelligence brings unprecedented development opportunities and unprecedented risks and challenges. We must grasp the development trends and laws of artificial intelligence, speed up the formulation and improvement of relevant laws, regulations, policies and systems, application norms, and ethical standards, and build a technical monitoring, risk warning, and emergency response system to ensure that artificial intelligence is safe, reliable and controllable.
【Important Speech】
Faced with the new situation of rapid evolution of the new generation of artificial intelligence technology, we must give full play to the advantages of the new national system, adhere to self-reliance and self-improvement, highlight application orientation, and promote the healthy and orderly development of my country’s artificial intelligence in a beneficial, safe and fair direction.
In the face of rapidly evolving new-generation AI technologies, China shall give full play to the advantages of the new system for mobilizing resources nationwide, uphold self-reliance and self-strengthening, prioritize application-oriented development, and promote the healthy and orderly advancement of the country’s AI sector towards a benefit, safe and equitable direction.
As a strategic technology leading the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence has profoundly changed the production and lifestyle of human beings. The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to the development of artificial intelligence. In recent years, it has improved top-level design and strengthened work deployment, and promoted the overall and systematic leap in my country’s comprehensive artificial intelligence strength.
AI, as a strategic technology leading the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, has extensively changed the way humans produce and live. The Party Central Committee attaches great importance to the development of AI, and has improved top-level design and strengthened implementation efforts in recent years, thereby driving a holistic and systematic advancement of the country’s comprehensive AI strength.
In order to gain the lead and gain an advantage in the field of artificial intelligence, breakthroughs must be made in basic theories, methods, tools, etc.
Breakthroughs must be achieved in fundamental theories, methods and tools to gain a first-mover advantage and secure a competitive edge in AI.
