On July 20, a symposium convened the leaders of industrial and information technology departments from across the nation in Beijing. The meeting underscored that the real economy, particularly the manufacturing sector, stands as the foremost arena for AI applications. It is imperative to heighten the sense of responsibility and urgency, adopt a strategy centered on practical applications, and thoroughly enact the 'AI + Manufacturing' initiative. This will expedite the growth and application of AI technologies, thereby catalyzing the intelligent transformation of diverse industries. Concurrently, it is vital to nurture providers of AI application services, implement the 'Model-Data Synergy' initiative, introduce industry solutions that are lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to deploy, and reduce the barriers to AI adoption for small and medium-sized enterprises. Additionally, there is a need to reinforce the supply of core technologies such as computing power, models, and data, innovate intelligent equipment, advance next-generation intelligent manufacturing, foster innovation in intelligent consumer terminals, and promote the widespread adoption of cutting-edge intelligent devices like humanoid robots and brain-computer interfaces. Moreover, it is crucial to strengthen the national-level AI open-source community, amass high-quality open-source resources, enhance the development and dissemination of key standards, and establish a robust security framework for the advancement of the AI industry.
