On January 31, the Management Committee of the Beijing Economic - Technological Development Area unveiled the Implementation Plan for Further Expediting the Construction of a City - Wide Artificial Intelligence Hub (2026 - 2027). This plan puts forward the initiative to actively deploy cutting - edge technologies and attain bidirectional empowerment between these advanced technologies and artificial intelligence.

The specific strategies are as follows:

• Advancing the 'Integration of Quantum Intelligence': This involves constructing quantum computing infrastructure that combines 'quantum - electronic convergence and four types of computing in one.' Additionally, a heterogeneous concept verification platform for various computing technology routes will be established. This platform will facilitate simulation verification in scenarios such as new material development and new energy power forecasting. In the realm of technology, quantum computing represents a revolutionary leap. By integrating quantum - electronic convergence and multiple computing types, it opens up new possibilities for solving complex problems that are beyond the capabilities of traditional computing. The verification platform acts as a crucial testing ground, allowing researchers to assess and refine their technologies in real - world - like scenarios.
• Strengthening the '6G + AI' Synergy: The plan supports the establishment of key institutions, including 6G artificial intelligence laboratories. It also emphasizes the construction of integrated testing and verification platforms. Technical verification will be carried out in scenarios like embodied intelligence, smart factories, and smart logistics. 6G is expected to be the next generation of wireless communication technology, and when combined with AI, it has the potential to transform various industries. Embodied intelligence refers to the ability of physical entities to perceive, reason, and act in the real world. Smart factories leverage advanced technologies to enhance production efficiency and quality, while smart logistics optimize the movement and storage of goods. The integrated testing platform will ensure that these technologies work seamlessly together.
• Exploring the Construction of Aerospace Intelligence Infrastructure: This entails deepening collaborative research and development between technologies in multiple fields such as communications, remote sensing, and navigation and artificial intelligence. The goal is to create a new generation of intelligent and efficient aerospace information infrastructure. In the aerospace sector, the integration of different technologies with AI can lead to more accurate navigation, better remote sensing capabilities, and improved communication systems. This, in turn, can enhance space exploration, satellite operations, and other aerospace - related activities.
