At a press conference hosted by the State Council Information Office, Pang Xiaogang, Deputy Director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, announced that state-owned central enterprises are set to ramp up their efforts on the 'AI+' special initiative. Their ambition is to emerge as pivotal players in China's intelligent computing infrastructure, pioneers in empowering industries through artificial intelligence, and catalysts for a systematic industrial layout. The specific strategies encompass:

Firstly, boosting investment by formulating the '15th Five-Year Plan' strategy for artificial intelligence within central enterprises. This will involve accelerating the development and efficient utilization of information and communication networks, a nationally unified computing power network, and domestically manufactured intelligent computing clusters. The aim is to drive industrial upgrading through strategic investment.

Secondly, deepening scenario applications by considering the establishment of 'AI+' industry ecosystems in crucial sectors such as embodied intelligence, energy, and electricity. This will involve broadening scenario accessibility and creating diverse scenarios, including comprehensive major scenarios, industry-integrated scenarios, and high-value niche scenarios.

Thirdly, optimizing the supply of data resources by expediting the opening and development of data in key areas like transportation, logistics, and smart energy. This will be carried out under strict security and compliance standards, providing robust support for model refinement, the construction of intelligent computing facilities, and industry applications.
