Today's world is experiencing a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. With artificial intelligence as the core driving force, intelligent economy is becoming a new engine of economic development. As a leading basic and strategic technology for the future, the strategic value of artificial intelligence has already been demonstrated in practice, surpassing that of any other single technology, and profoundly changing the way humans produce and live. As a result, competition in the field of artificial intelligence has become a new focus of scientific and technological and economic competition, and "artificial intelligence " has become a key force in shaping a new advantage in national competition.

Since the new era, the Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has placed great importance on the development and application of artificial intelligence, focusing on improving top-level design, strengthening work, and promoting a holistic and systematic leap in China's comprehensive strength in artificial intelligence. China accounts for 60% of the world's total number of artificial intelligence patents and breakthroughs are being made in humanoid robots, smart terminals, and other fields. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "in the face of the rapid evolution of new generation artificial intelligence technology, we should give full play to the advantages of the new type of national governance system, adhere to self-reliance and self-improvement, highlight applicationoriented, and promote the healthy and orderly development of China's artificial intelligence towards a beneficial, safe, and fair direction." This provides a guide for comprehensively promoting artificial scientific and technological innovation, industrial development, and empowering applications, and firmly grasping the initiative of artificial intelligence development and governance. In 2025, the State Council issued "Opinions on Deepening the Implementation of the 'Artificial Intelligence ' Action," which clarified the general requirements, development goals, and key directions for implementing the "Art Intelligence " action, and promoted the extensive integration of artificial intelligence with various industries and fields of the economy and society. Under the new situation, it is necessary to deeply understand grasp the strategic significance, practical challenges, and promotion paths of "artificial intelligence ," further promote the leap of productive forces and the transformation of production relations, and accelerate the of a new form of intelligent economy and intelligent society with human-machine collaboration, cross-border integration, and co-creation and sharing

Deeply understand the strategic significance
From the records of the artisan Yanshi in Liezi·Tang Wen who created a dancing automaton, to the proposal of the concept of artificial intelligence in the 1950s, and then to the creation of the artificial intelligence laboratory byvin Minsky, the pioneer of artificial intelligence, human society has always been pursuing "intelligence".
But the so-called "intelligent tools" in ancient were mostly fantasies or mechanical devices with certain automation functions, and their theoretical basis was mechanics. The invention of the computer opened the prelude to the information age with mathematics, microronics and other disciplines as its theoretical basis. Although the large-scale application of computers is mainly the electronification of traditional production operations and business processing, it has greatly changed the way collect, transmit and process information. The development of the Internet has promoted the integration of information technology and communication technology, helping humans break through the constraints of time and space on production living, and "Internet  " has not only extended and expanded human production and living from the real physical world to the digital virtual world for the first time, cultivating new digital clusters, promoting the digital transformation of traditional industries, public services and social governance, and driving the digital economy to become an independent new economic form, but also building a widely connected digital, accumulating massive data, and promoting the development of artificial intelligence.
Digitalization has laid the foundation for intelligence, and intelligence is the extension of digitalization. "AI " provides humans with new opportunities to reconstruct the real physical world and the digital virtual world, from the mode of production, lifestyle to the form of organization and social structure, which are all facing resh. From countries to individuals, from industries to enterprises, embracing "AI " is no longer an "optional item", but is becoming a "must-have" concerning future and development. Facing the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, the implementation of "AI " action in China is not only a key measure to accelerate the of new productive forces, but also an inevitable requirement to promote the transformation of the digital economy to a smart digital economy and form a new form of a smart society, which is of strategic significance.
Artificial intelligence is a new generation of general-purpose technology, and empowering industries is the remarkable value of "AI ". Most technologies can only be in a few specific industries or fields and belong to specialized technologies. For instance, the technology for producing automobiles usually cannot be used for steel production, and the technology for steel usually cannot be used for oil exploitation and refining. A few technologies can be widely applied in various industries and fields, such as the internal combustion engine and electrical technology in the industrial, and the computer and internet technology in the digital age. This kind of technology is also called general-purpose technology. Although the number is small, it is considered to be the that really drives long-term economic growth. As a new generation of general-purpose technology, artificial intelligence not only has universal applicability like electricity and the Internet, which can penetrate all and all scenarios of production and life, empower industry-specific technologies or form a complementary relationship with them, but can also be widely applied in the process of production management, and even be applied to organizational restructuring. In practice, the industrial scale of artificial intelligence may be relatively small, but it can show the potential for overall development. Just as bee pollination promote agricultural production and thus achieve far more economic value than bee products, promoting "AI " means that we can use the universal applicability and extensive penetration of artificial intelligence to promote the transformation of the social economy and thus form a huge long tail application market, which can magnify the value of artificial intelligence exponentially
