The State Council Information Office held a press conference on October 20 on the development of industry and information technology in the first three quarters of 2023. Tao Qing, spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the Operation Monitoring and Coordination Bureau, said that in the next step, we will insist on highlighting key areas, vigorously promote the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and promote innovative applications of artificial intelligence.
Mainly focus on the following four aspects:
The first is to consolidate the foundation of artificial intelligence technology. Through major scientific and technological innovation projects, efforts will be made to promote basic and original technological breakthroughs such as large model algorithms and frameworks, improve the computing power of smart chips, release the value of data, and strengthen the research and development of "root" technologies.
The second is to promote the intelligent upgrading of key industries. Accelerate the intelligentization of the entire manufacturing process. Deepen the integrated application of artificial intelligence technology in the entire manufacturing process, and significantly improve the level of intelligence in R&D, pilot testing, production, service, management and other links. Promote artificial intelligence pilot demonstrations, expand unique application scenarios, accelerate "intelligent transformation to digital transformation", form real productivity, and improve the quality and efficiency of manufacturing development.
The third is to promote the development of smart products and equipment. Give full play to the characteristics of large models with strong cognition, strong interaction, and strong generation, promote the upgrade and iteration of high-end equipment, key software, and intelligent terminals, and improve the intelligence level of key products and equipment.
The fourth is to strengthen the construction of supporting service systems. Accelerate the cultivation of a number of industry leading enterprises and specialized small and medium-sized enterprises, and establish a number of ecological innovation consortiums. Deepen international exchanges and cooperation in technology research and development, standard development, ethical governance, talent training, etc., and collaboratively create a good artificial intelligence industry ecosystem.
