The Shanghai Financial Regulatory Bureau has unveiled a set of measures aimed at fostering the integration of artificial intelligence within the banking and insurance sectors in Shanghai. These measures emphasize the need to refine the distribution of intelligent computing resources. They encourage financial institutions, while adhering to principles of safety and regulatory compliance, to establish hybrid cloud computing platforms through a mixed approach of leasing and purchasing. Institutions have the option to lease national computing nodes or utilize industry infrastructure, thereby enabling a flexible and scalable allocation of intelligent computing resources, along with elastic scheduling and seamless expansion capabilities.

Simultaneously, there is a push to enhance the cloud-edge collaboration framework. This involves extending cloud computing capabilities to edge scenarios, complemented by distributed storage technology, to boost data processing efficiency and cater to the demands of high concurrency and large-scale data handling.
