At present, the global wave of artificial intelligence research is gaining momentum, and the Chinese government is actively accelerating its strategic layout in this field. With strong policy support and growing market demand, Chinese companies are making significant strides in areas such as autonomous driving, medical imaging, and intelligent voice recognition. These efforts have allowed them to establish a solid foothold in the industry and gradually catch up with global leaders.
During the "Double Eleven" shopping festival, an actual call between a user and Alipay’s intelligent customer service system highlighted the power of AI. The conversation began with the system anticipating the user's question before it was even asked. “Welcome to call Ant Financial. Hello, may I ask if you want to consult about repaying Huayuan?†the system said. “Yes! That’s exactly what I need!†the user replied. This seamless interaction is made possible by advanced AI technologies that analyze and respond to user needs in real time.
Government guidance plays a crucial role in shaping the AI landscape in China. At the 19th National Congress, it was clearly stated that the country should accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing and promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data, and AI with the real economy. This includes fostering growth in high-end consumption, innovation, green technology, and smart supply chains.
In recent years, various levels of government have introduced supportive policies to create a favorable environment for AI development. In July, the State Council released the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan," outlining a three-step strategy. By 2020, China aims to match global standards in AI technology and application, while the AI industry will become a new economic driver. The plan also emphasizes using AI to improve people's lives and support the nation’s innovation-driven goals.
On November 15, the Ministry of Science and Technology organized a major meeting to launch the national AI development plan and key science projects. A dedicated office was established, along with the first batch of national AI open innovation platforms, signaling a major step forward in China’s AI strategy.
Enterprise involvement is also growing rapidly. Companies like Baidu, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent, and Keda Xunfei were among the first to be selected for national AI open innovation platforms. They will focus on fields such as autonomous driving, urban brain systems, medical imaging, and intelligent voice solutions.
Baidu, for example, has achieved remarkable results in AI, including 97% voice recognition accuracy and a 0.23% face recognition error rate. At the 2017 Baidu World Congress, the company launched the world’s first human-car AI interactive system, featuring functions like dialogue, fatigue detection, and AR navigation.
Other tech giants are also investing heavily in AI. Tencent has set up an AI laboratory, while Alibaba Cloud continues to expand its AI applications in retail and smart cities. Sogou, in collaboration with Tsinghua University, developed an AI-powered question-answering robot named “Wang Zi,†which gained fame by defeating human contestants in a TV show.
Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang emphasized the importance of building a first-mover advantage in AI, focusing on basic research, leadership in high-end technology, and implementing major science and technology projects to shape the future of AI.
To adapt to the rapid changes brought by AI, China has launched key R&D plans in smart manufacturing and implemented a three-year action plan for “Internet + AI.†These initiatives cover technology development, application promotion, and industrial growth, ensuring a comprehensive approach to AI advancement.
After years of effort, China has made significant progress in AI, ranking second globally in scientific publications and patent filings. Breakthroughs in voice and visual recognition, self-learning algorithms, and other core technologies have enabled leapfrog development. Technologies like information processing, industrial robots, and autonomous driving are now entering practical use.
The industry believes that China's AI infrastructure and technological capabilities are at an advanced stage. As leading companies continue to invest and expand their AI strategies, the industry is expected to grow significantly, potentially achieving a position of global leadership.
