In recent years, China's artificial intelligence industry has flourished, infrastructure construction has been increasingly improved, and a large number of new breakthroughs, new technologies, and new applications continue to emerge, empowering thousands of industries. The next step is to strengthen infrastructure construction, expand scenarios, accelerate application, and conquer key core technologies, making the future of the intelligent economy promising. The infrastructure is improving day by day, and the industrial scale is constantly growing. The Great Wall Precision Automation Factory in Baoding, Hebei Province, has a 5G-A flexible production line for automobiles. A huge mechanical arm sucks up the top cover of the car, hovers in the air for a circle, and then applies the adhesive strip on the top cover, with a set of actions flowing smoothly. Thanks to the integration of 5G-A technology and artificial intelligence, this production line can reduce downtime by 60 hours per year, reduce order delivery losses by more than 800 million yuan, and make production more intelligent and efficient. "The massive application scenarios, large-scale market, and large talent pool have laid a solid foundation for the development of artificial intelligence in China." Yu Youcheng, Deputy Secretary General of the Chinese Association of Artificial Intelligence, stated that a large number of new breakthroughs, technologies, and applications are growing in a massive number of application scenarios, and the artificial intelligence industry is flourishing. The infrastructure is increasingly improving. As of the end of 2023, the total scale of data center racks in use in China exceeded 8.1 million standard racks, with a total computing power of 23 billion floating-point operations per second. Among them, the scale of intelligent computing power has reached 7 billion floating-point operations per second, with a growth rate of over 70%. The industrial scale continues to grow. The scale of China's core artificial intelligence industry has exceeded 500 billion yuan, and the number of enterprises has exceeded 4500. According to relevant research institutions, the scale of China's artificial intelligence industry is expected to reach 1.73 trillion yuan by 2035, accounting for 30.6% of the world's total. The integration of applications continues to expand. As of now, the artificial intelligence big models developed in China have shown great potential for application in fields such as smart mines, drug research and development, meteorology, government affairs, finance, intelligent manufacturing, and railway management. The integrated application of industrial Internet has expanded to 49 major categories of national economy, and generative AI is popular in applications such as chat robots, intelligent search, text generation, etc. Intelligent technology continues to break through and accelerate the empowerment of thousands of industries to enter the Rizhao Port in Shandong. Steel plates from Handan, Hebei, excavators from Zhuzhou, Hunan, and drainage pipes from Zhengzhou, Henan are gathered here, and various categories of miscellaneous goods are exported to various parts of the world. Grocery items come in various shapes and sizes, with complex loading and unloading processes, and long-term problems such as low operational efficiency. Relying on the "AI (Artificial Intelligence) Planning Master", the port has achieved digital transformation, with an overall operational efficiency improvement of 10% and a 20% increase in yard turnover rate. Not only can it assist intelligent manufacturing, but it can also predict typhoons, develop new drugs, identify faults, and formulate production plans... With the continuous breakthrough of artificial intelligence technology, the era of intelligence is accelerating. "Intelligent+Transportation" for safer operation. There is a smart brain on the bus route. In Changsha, the bus routes are linked with the intelligent signal control system of the traffic police. When the bus approaches the intersection, the traffic indicator light will automatically switch to green, thereby achieving priority traffic for the bus. "The commuting time of smart buses is on average 30.7% less than that of ordinary operating modes," said Liu Gao, the project leader of the smart bus project at Hunan Xiangjiang Intelligent Technology Innovation Center Co., Ltd. Currently, 75 routes in the main urban area of Changsha have achieved intelligent networking transformation. "Intelligence+Government Affairs", with more refined management. Intelligent dispatching, intelligent disposal, intelligent analysis... Recently, Baidu has combined the capabilities of the Wenxin big model with the application scenario of "handling complaints immediately" in Haidian District, Beijing, fully leveraging the key advantages of the big model in deep semantic understanding, content generation, intelligent interaction, etc., achieving the intelligent upgrade of the "handling complaints immediately" workflow such as demand dispatching, disposal, analysis, and proactive governance. In the future, Baidu AI Cloud will continue to explore and implement more intelligent scene applications based on the capability of large models with Zhongke Brain in Haidian District, making urban management more refined, governance more efficient and residents' lives more convenient. "Intelligence+scientific research" for more efficient research. The one-stop AI office platform released by Kingsoft Office not only enables reading and character recognition, but also analyzes data to create digital employees who are both knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Artificial intelligence assisted experiments can significantly save research time. The scientific data open source open platform jointly developed by Baidu AI Cloud and Shanghai Jiaotong University can accelerate the whole chain of chemical synthesis from molecular design, reaction design to conditional generation, reaction testing, and accelerate the design of potential functional molecules such as drug molecules and their synthesis schemes from a few months of traditional methods to tens of minutes. Many experts, scholars, and business people have expressed the need to accelerate scientific and technological innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, and cultivate new driving forces for economic development through high-quality development and high-level application of artificial intelligence. Strengthen infrastructure construction. Digital infrastructure is an important support for promoting high-quality economic and social development. "The National Data Administration will accelerate the upgrading and deployment of digital infrastructure, and accelerate the construction of digital infrastructure such as industrial Internet, computing power, and mobile Internet of Things." Liu Liehong, director of the National Data Administration, said that he will accelerate the construction of the national integrated computing power network, and promote the coordinated development of multi-source heterogeneous computing power such as general computing power, intelligent computing power, and super computing power. Expand scenarios and accelerate applications. Facial recognition, visual detection, autonomous driving... Promoting the integration of artificial intelligence and industry to meet application needs is crucial. Shen Shuan, Executive Vice President of Baidu AI Cloud Group and President of Baidu Intelligent Cloud Business Group, believes that China has strong demand for a super large market and the most complete industrial system in the world. We should continue to give play to the advantages of scenarios, accelerate application innovation, and promote the AI industry to a higher level. Conquer key core technologies. The key core technologies of artificial intelligence, such as application algorithms, intelligent chips, and open-source frameworks, are of utmost importance for the development of the industry. Huang Yong, Director of the Economic Operation and Adjustment Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, suggested accelerating the establishment of a key common technology research and development system, creating an industry university research and application innovation consortium with extensive participation from state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, universities, and research institutes, focusing on achieving breakthroughs in key components such as computing chips and high bandwidth internal storage, and accelerating breakthroughs in key core technologies of artificial intelligence.
