In terms of smart elderly care, smart home devices monitor the living status of the elderly in real time, wearable devices perform dynamic analysis of health data, and trajectory monitoring systems promptly warn of safety hazards. The innovative application of "AI+robot" provides life assistance for the elderly, and the personalized health management system customizes maintenance plans based on user characteristics. AI assists in the development of education and the improvement of literacy. Today, artificial intelligence technology is driving multidimensional changes in the education system. The personalized learning system customizes exclusive solutions through learning situation analysis, VR/AR technology creates immersive teaching scenarios, and the intelligent voice system accurately improves language learning effectiveness. The AI assistant on the teacher's end automatically completes basic tasks such as homework grading and courseware production, and the virtual experimental platform enriches the teaching resource library. Breakthrough progress has been made in the dimension of educational equity, promoting comprehensive literacy enhancement. Online education platforms break geographical restrictions and provide high-quality resources, while special education assistance tools help disabled students participate equally. In the field of vocational skills training, AI simulates real work scenarios for practical training, and a personalized curriculum system accelerates skill acquisition efficiency. AI helps with intelligent travel and smart cities. Artificial intelligence also has outstanding highlights in building intelligent travel systems. For example, the traffic flow prediction system dynamically optimizes signal timing, intelligent navigation provides personalized route planning, and the shared travel platform achieves precise resource allocation. The autonomous driving technology has entered the testing stage, and the environmental perception system provides real-time warning of road risks, significantly improving the efficiency of accident handling. At the level of urban governance, AI environmental monitoring platforms timely detect pollution problems, and intelligent security systems strengthen public safety through behavior recognition. The urban resource allocation model continues to optimize infrastructure layout and promote the transformation of green and low-carbon development models. Orderly development: Build a "safety dam" in the process of development, improve efficiency, and moderately advance construction. Data and computing power are the core elements of the innovative development of artificial intelligence. We must fully leverage the driving role of data elements, explore the value of data through reasonable data collection, storage, management, and analysis, provide solid support for the training and optimization of artificial intelligence algorithms, and promote the implementation of innovative applications. Meanwhile, improving the investment efficiency of AI construction is crucial. In the investment process, attention should be paid to the rational allocation of resources, avoiding blind investment and resource waste. In addition, moderately advanced construction of data centers, computing infrastructure, etc. can lay a solid foundation for the comprehensive development of artificial intelligence in terms of data, computing power, and algorithms, and reserve space for future technological iterations and upgrades. Proactive design and legislative supervision guarantee. The application process of AI involves the relationship with humans and other AI, including the issue of its rights boundaries. Proactively and scientifically designing AI power, clarifying its rights boundaries in applications, the scope of authority of intelligent agents, and the degree of decision-making, is an important prerequisite for achieving the healthy development of artificial intelligence. For example, defining the rights and obligations of AI in processing user data, clarifying the operational permissions of intelligent agents in different scenarios, and defining the scope and responsibility of AI decision-making, in order to make the application of artificial intelligence more standardized, transparent, and trustworthy. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the security and privacy protection issues brought about by artificial intelligence technology. Especially the improper abuse of generative artificial intelligence technologies such as "AI face swapping and voice acting" can easily lead to illegal infringement, seriously threatening users' data privacy and security. Therefore, it is necessary to enact the Artificial Intelligence Law as soon as possible to comprehensively regulate the research and development, application, security, and other aspects of artificial intelligence, clarify the rights and responsibilities of all parties, and provide legal protection for the healthy development of artificial intelligence. Industry challenges and proactive transformation and adaptation. The application of AI in various industries brings impact, and all industries should actively seek to adapt to the changes of AI in the times. Taking the education industry as an example, traditional education models and curriculum systems are facing challenges and need to return to the essence of education, thinking about how to adapt to the AI era. Teachers need to transform from "knowledge transmitters" to "learning guides" and enhance their digital literacy and interdisciplinary abilities. The curriculum system urgently needs to be restructured to cultivate students' core competencies such as critical thinking and creativity, and to innovate the existing curriculum content and evaluation standards. At the same time, ethical issues in AI are prominent, such as algorithmic bias exacerbating educational inequality, technology dependence weakening student abilities, and balancing technology and humanistic care becoming a challenge for educators. To this end, the education industry needs to consider and adjust transformation issues from multiple dimensions such as policy formulation, teacher training, and social guidance, making AI the core driving force for educational modernization. AI talent and the cultivation of "AI power". Currently, the talent supply in the field of artificial intelligence is relatively insufficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid industrial development. To solve this problem, on the one hand, we need to accelerate the cultivation of diverse and high-level professionals in the field of artificial intelligence. By optimizing the relevant majors in universities, strengthening industry university research cooperation, and conducting vocational training, we aim to cultivate composite talents who possess solid theoretical foundations, advanced technologies, and practical abilities. On the other hand, cultivate cross-border talents who understand both AI and industry in various industries. Encourage industry practitioners to learn and master knowledge and skills related to artificial intelligence, enhance their ability to use AI technology to solve practical problems, promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence with various industries, and drive industrial upgrading and innovative development. Integration towards goodness: making AI a "warmth accessible to all". The application scenarios of artificial intelligence technology are shifting from "point breakthroughs" to "surface penetration", and its development potential is closely linked to policy support, technological innovation, and social needs. In the process of technological development and application, we need to unleash the "goodness" of technology to a greater extent while preventing potential "evil". In the process of development, the adaptability, fairness, and inclusiveness of technology cannot be ignored. The 2025 government work report, with the "Artificial Intelligence+" action plan as its guiding principle, provides a clear path for the implementation of technology. In the future, with breakthroughs in the frontier fields such as embodied intelligence, 6G and quantum computing, AI will be further integrated into production and life, becoming a key force in promoting Chinese path to modernization. At the same time, the integration of AI with some new technologies and materials will further iterate and innovate. Promote each other with 6G, promote the rapid development of the Internet of Animals, industrial Internet and other fields, provide more powerful support for intelligent manufacturing, smart cities, etc., and bring greater convenience to people's lives in telemedicine, automatic driving and other aspects; Combined with new materials such as electronic skin, it mimics human skin perception and achieves flexible sensing, enabling robots or other intelligent devices to have human like perception capabilities. The development of technology has never stopped. In this process, only by adhering to the principles of innovation driven, inclusive sharing, and safe and controllable development, actively designing reasonable development paths, implementing effective regulatory measures, and actively cultivating talents, can artificial intelligence better serve the development of human society, effectively promote the improvement of people's well-being, and contribute to the sustainable development of the global economy as the "Chinese solution".
