　　Beijing, July 27, Xinhua (Ling Jiwei, intern Xu Dongyuan) recently, the State Council issued the new generation of artificial intelligence development plan (hereinafter referred to as the plan). As soon as the plan is released, it has attracted worldwide attention. To promote the development of artificial intelligence industry, China has a systematic top-level design.

　　Planning is the first medium and long-term plan for the development of artificial intelligence at the national level in China. What does the industry think about it, what resonates with it, and how can it contribute to the development of China's artificial intelligence industry? The reporter interviewed relevant people of Chinese and foreign enterprises.

　　Top level design guides the direction of AI

　　Artificial intelligence is accelerating to integrate into life, and profoundly changing the form of human economic and social activities. According to the plan, artificial intelligence has become a new focus of international competition, a new engine of economic development and a new opportunity for social construction.

　　"AI has set off a new wave of innovation around the world." Yang Xu, global vice president of Intel Corporation and President of China, believes that this plan has clear industrial direction and put forward a series of policies and measures, which has important guiding significance for the development of artificial intelligence industry.

　　Min Wanli, an AI scientist at Alibaba cloud, said that the plan clearly proposes to cultivate a high-end and efficient intelligent economy and promote the integration and innovation of AI and various industries, which is of great significance to promote the implementation of AI at present. "We will further strengthen the integration of AI technology and industries and make every effort to promote the development of intelligent economy."

　　"This is the development plan of artificial intelligence proposed by the state from the perspectives of strategy, security and economy. The determination of the state to transform and upgrade the manufacturing industry with AI is particularly firm." According to the relevant person in charge of Changhong company, the plan is of great significance to the transformation and upgrading of home appliance industry, and will also promote AI products to better serve consumers and make life more convenient.

　　Yan Shuicheng, President of 360 AI research institute, believes that compared with other countries' relevant plans, China's plan is more detailed and more operable in the details of AI development and final landing scene.

　　"Planning" hits the pain point directly and causes enterprise resonance

　　The plan makes arrangements for the development of artificial intelligence from strategic situation, overall requirements, resource allocation, legislation, organization and other levels.

　　From the industrial point of view, the technology development and application of AI at the enterprise level is still weak. Zou Yansong, deputy chief engineer and general manager of smart building of Hisense Network Technology Co., Ltd., said that from basic research to promotion and application, China's artificial intelligence industry needs national strategic support.

　　"I very much agree with the basic principles of" market leading, open source and opening "mentioned in the plan, and the promotion strategy of" Trinity " Yang Xu believes that in order to promote the development of artificial intelligence, it is necessary to increase technology research and development, accelerate industrial application, strengthen industrial chain coordination, and effectively promote the industrialization and application of technology research and development, so that artificial intelligence can truly help industrial upgrading and economic transformation.

　　The plan points out that the construction of high-end talent team is the top priority of the development of artificial intelligence. We should adhere to the combination of training and introduction, improve the education system of artificial intelligence, and strengthen the talent reserve and echelon construction.

　　Zou Yansong is deeply touched by this. He believes that the development of artificial intelligence cannot be separated from talents, especially high-end talents. As an enterprise, the construction of high-end talents should be placed in an important position of development. "We hope to build an open AI ecosystem that brings together the world's most intelligent AI talent." Min Wanli also expressed the importance of talent reserve.

　　Talent is the key to the breakthrough of the frontier basic theory research. "The state puts the basic theory research of artificial intelligence in a very important position, and clearly proposes to achieve a major breakthrough in 2025." Jin Rong, President of Alibaba group idst, said that as a scientific researcher, she was very excited.

　　Cooperation and innovation help AI to open up the future

　　The plan has established the "three-step" goal for the development of China's new generation of artificial intelligence: by 2020, the overall technology and application of artificial intelligence will be synchronized with the world's advanced level, by 2025, the basic theory of artificial intelligence will achieve a major breakthrough, and by 2030, it will become the main innovation center of artificial intelligence in the world.

　　"China is the largest data country in the world, which provides fertile soil for the development of artificial intelligence. China's science and technology ecosystem is also one of the most dynamic innovation centers in the world. " Yang Xu said that science and technology have no borders, and Intel is willing to cooperate with China in key technology development, application landing and industrial chain construction.

　　As a general technology, the broader development of artificial intelligence lies in industrial application. Alibaba cloud's AI platform et is being applied in multiple vertical industries. Hu Xiaoming, President of Alibaba cloud, said that industrial enterprises can directly call the ability of ET, and its value lies in making AI, a complex and cutting-edge technology, more universal, providing infrastructure and intelligent engine for "everything intelligence".

　　The plan points out that it is necessary to promote the application of artificial intelligence technology and the modernization of social governance around the hot and difficult issues of social governance such as urban management. As an enterprise that has been engaged in the field of intelligent transportation for many years, Hisense has realized the great opportunity of artificial intelligence for the development of intelligent transportation in recent years. Zou Yansong said that it can be predicted that with the aid of artificial intelligence technology, the level of intelligent transportation will be greatly improved.

　　Accelerating the upgrading of industrial intelligence and vigorously developing intelligent enterprises are highlighted in the plan. As the first enterprise to launch ai home appliances in the home appliance industry, and as the direction of transformation, relevant principals of Changhong company said that they would explore the large-scale personal customization of AI in the field of intelligent manufacturing, and strengthen the operation of AI in user content and services.

　　According to the strategic goal of the plan, by 2030, China's artificial intelligence will drive the scale of related industries to more than 10 trillion yuan. In the face of the scale of trillion level industry, more and more enterprises will seize the beach to lay out artificial intelligence, and only combining artificial intelligence with industry can give play to its real value.
