A humanoid robot that can communicate and interact with people, surrounded by experiencers; Facial recognition devices are like "AI doctors", which can complete remote consultations and generate health assessment reports through eye scanning; The virtual bridge constructed by digital twin technology allows visitors to intuitively understand the precision construction process of world-class bridges... In the professional exhibition area of the 2025 China International Big Data Industry Expo (referred to as the "Expo") held in Guiyang recently, these high-tech scenes outline a vivid picture of "artificial intelligence+" accelerating the empowerment of thousands of industries. More than 60% of the digital economy related products and service solutions presented by 375 domestic and foreign exhibitors are related to "artificial intelligence+". This not only allows the audience to "touch" future life in advance, but also becomes a vivid footnote to China's promotion of the "AI+" action and deepening the construction of "Digital China". IFlytek unveiled the concept of "urban intelligent agents" at the China International Data Expo. "It is not difficult to see from the many intelligent agents and intelligent terminal exhibits presented on the scene, as well as the topics of exchanges between Chinese and foreign experts at the meeting, that China's' AI+'action is increasingly affecting consumption, production, life and other fields." Chen Minjun, General Manager of iFLYTEK's Digital Government Business Department, said. Yu Ying, Deputy Director of the National Data Administration of China, stated that the global digital economy has entered a new stage centered on market-oriented data elements and driven by intelligent technology. This empowerment effect, marked by intelligent driving, is particularly evident in grassroots governance in China. The recently concluded "Village Supermarket" national finals have brought high popularity to the small town of Rongjiang in southwestern Guizhou. However, a large number of self driving vehicles have flooded in from many parts of the country, posing a huge challenge to local transportation. The Guizhou traffic management department relies on the "Provincial Highway Vehicle Operation Situation" module, integrates data from highway traffic police checkpoints, traffic ETC, toll station ramp checkpoints, etc., and draws a "real-time operation map of highway vehicles in the province" to predict traffic peaks in advance, guide vehicles to divert from suburban ramps in a timely manner, and effectively alleviate congestion. It is understood that the system has provided transportation support and improved traffic efficiency for thousands of large-scale events throughout the province. As the first national level big data comprehensive experimental zone in China, the application scenarios of intelligent technology in Guizhou are far beyond this. To facilitate tourists' summer travel to Guizhou, Guizhou has launched the tourism intelligent assistant "Huang Xiaoxi". The name 'Huang Xiaoxi' comes from the three most representative scenic spots in Guizhou - Huangguoshu Waterfall, Libo Xiaoqikong, and Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Whether tourists are travel experts or first-time visitors to Guizhou, they can enjoy thoughtful intelligent services through it, "said Luo Qiang, Vice Governor of Guizhou Province. Currently, Guizhou is promoting the coordinated linkage of computing power, data, applications, and industries, continuously strengthening and optimizing the digital economy. One of the core tasks is to develop the artificial intelligence industry with a focus on industry models. Luo Qiang said, "At present, we have created nearly 100 large-scale model application scenarios in 24 key industries in the province." Looking across the country, the tentacles of "artificial intelligence+" also extend to more fields: the intelligent patrol robot used in Daqing Oilfield has greatly improved the efficiency of oil pipeline operation and maintenance by virtue of high-precision oil spill identification and other capabilities; The Shanghai AI education terminal can real-time correct homework and push targeted exercises, which is called "AI private teaching" by parents; The Guangzhou Municipal Government Service Center integrates data from dozens of departments to achieve online processing of more and more matters, achieving the goal of "reducing the need for people to run errands and allowing data to run more. The rapid development of intelligent technology cannot be separated from a solid industrial foundation. China has become the world's largest holder of artificial intelligence patents, accounting for 60%. As of the end of 2024, 302 generative AI services have been registered in China, and 9.4 million software developers are active in the forefront of innovation, providing core support for technological iteration. In order to promote the development of the artificial intelligence industry, the Chinese government has recently introduced policies such as the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" and provided special funding support. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments have established a national artificial intelligence fund with a scale of 60 billion yuan, continuously laying out projects for the integration of artificial intelligence and the economy; More than 400 specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprises in the field of artificial intelligence are accelerating their rise, transforming "AI empowerment" from abstract concepts to visible and tangible changes in reality. Xie Shaofeng, Chief Engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that this year's government work report proposes to continue promoting the "Artificial Intelligence+" action, better combining digital technology with manufacturing and market advantages, and supporting large-scale and widespread applications. China recently released the "Opinions on Deepening the Implementation of the 'Artificial Intelligence+' Action", which proposes to accelerate the implementation of six key actions on 'Artificial Intelligence+', including science and technology, industrial development, consumer quality improvement, people's well-being, governance capacity, and global cooperation, to delineate a clear path for industry development. Many interviewed experts said that since this year, in the context of global AI competition and cooperation, China's AI boom has continued to surge, accelerating the empowerment of economic and social fields. At the same time, China actively participates in global artificial intelligence governance, promotes cross-border data flow pilot projects and international joint research and development, injects Chinese momentum into global industrial upgrading and high-quality economic development through technology sharing and standard building.
