'China's speed' lights up the world's AI map
2026-01-20
Artificial intelligence (AI) enterprises have intensively landed in the capital market, the AI model of pancreatic cancer screening has attracted the attention of foreign media, and the domestic computing power base training model has topped the international open source list... Recently, AI hot news has continued to screen, interpreting the Chinese innovation story of "getting new day by day, getting new day by day". This year marks the 70th anniversary of the official birth of the concept of artificial intelligence. Over the past 70 years, the AI wave that has experienced ups and downs has now become a trend sweeping across all things. Faced with a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation in the world, China has a far sighted and composed approach. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the development of artificial intelligence, emphasizing that "accelerating the development of the new generation of artificial intelligence is an important strategic lever for us to win the initiative in global technological competition. In the "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the 15th Five Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Proposal"), the term "intelligence" appears 16 times. In this blueprint for China's development in the next five years, AI covers various aspects such as industrial development, cultural construction, livelihood security, and social governance, including embodied intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, and smart grid. With the opening of the "15th Five Year Plan", AI is injecting strong momentum into Chinese path to modernization with unprecedented strength, and running out of AI China's "acceleration" on the new track of global competition. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the capital market was hit by the "AI whirlwind" as technology advanced and the "winning point" was seized. Within 48 hours, two domestic large model companies - Zhipu and MiniMax (Xiyu Technology) - successively rang the bell of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Within just over 30 days, GPU (graphics processing unit) chip companies such as Moore Thread, Muxi Shares, Boren Technology, and Tiantian Zhixin have successively entered the capital market. Young AI companies collectively stand on the "high ground" of the capital market, and independent and controllable technology is the most hardcore confidence. Zhipu is committed to creating domestically produced base model bases and adhering to the independent research and development of the General Language Model (GLM) pre training architecture; The code generation speed of MiniMax-M2 model is twice that of Claude in the United States, but the price is only 8% of it; Moore Thread realizes independent research and development of fully functional GPUs, accelerating the construction of a domestic GPU ecosystem... In the words of Tang Jie, Chief Scientist of Zhipu, "The opportunity for China's AI industry today lies in a group of smart people who really dare to take special risks. The two-way rush of technology and capital will help China seize the "winning point" in the forefront of AI technology. This round of listing trend reflects that China's AI industry has crossed the main threshold of the basic development period. ”Ouyang Rihui, vice president of the China Internet Economics Research Institute of the Central University of Finance and Economics, believes that in the future, we should guide the "accelerator effect" of capital to more sustainable innovation, encourage long-term capital and patient capital allocation, and leave enough long-term investment space for basic research and key core technologies while strengthening information disclosure and R&D intensity constraints. In the face of the "supersonic" development of AI, technological advancement is not a "multiple-choice question", but a "must answer question" for survival. China has sufficient strategic clarity in this regard. The Proposal emphasizes the need to accelerate innovation in digital intelligence technologies such as artificial intelligence, and break through basic theories and core technologies. Rooted in technological innovation, it is destined to mean opening up new paths and relentlessly seeking solutions. Jia Zijun, Deputy Director of the Institute of Information Technology and Software Industry at CCID Research Institute, believes that innovation in the cognitive foundation theory of general artificial intelligence and the construction of original core algorithm systems are important directions for tackling challenges. Currently, most algorithms are built on foreign basic frameworks and need to develop original algorithms with independent intellectual property rights for pain points such as multimodal fusion, small sample learning, and low resource scenarios. For example, adaptive optimization algorithms need to be developed for complex industrial scenarios to enhance AI's adaptability in the vertical field. ”Jia Zijun said, "We need to build the 'roots and soul' of intelligent development. The hope for technological breakthroughs lies in the efforts of every participant in the industrial chain. As a domestic AI chip enterprise and a national level specialized and innovative "little giant", Taichu (Wuxi) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is promoting the accelerated integration of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence, and implementing it in multiple scenarios such as climate, meteorology, and energy. At present, the performance of a single chip has become a bottleneck in the development of AI algorithms. ”The company's Chief Operating Officer, Qiao Liang, stated that "in the future, there will be a need for high-performance computing systems with higher integration to provide hardware foundations for AI algorithms. ”Recently, the New York Times published a full page report introducing the AI model for pancreatic cancer screening developed by Alibaba Dharma Institute. This tool has analyzed more than 180000 abdominal or chest CT cases, helping doctors find more than 20 cases of pancreatic cancer, 14 of which were early. "AI saved their lives". Previously, former Google Chairman Eric Schmidt also wrote an article in The New York Times calling for Silicon Valley to reduce its obsession with general artificial intelligence, learn from its Chinese counterparts, and integrate artificial intelligence into daily life. China has shown the world another path of AI development through vivid practice: the future of AI is not only in the laboratory, but also in the application field. The development of AI has shifted from the 'first half' focused on cloud based large-scale model training to the 'second half' focused on AI scale applications. ”Lenovo Group Chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing said. The "Proposal" proposes to "seize the high ground of artificial intelligence industry application and empower thousands of industries in all aspects". Open the window of "application scenarios", AI China is full of diversity - AI becomes the "intelligent assistant" for scientific research and development. The Pioneer scientific research platform developed by the joint team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows the powerful enabling role of AI in astrophysics, energy materials, mechanical engineering and many other fields, strongly promotes the reshaping of scientific research paradigm, and opens new possibilities for exploring the unknown of science. AI transforms into an upgraded 'intelligent brain' for manufacturing. Huawei collaborates with SAIC GM Wuling to build the world's first "island style" lean intelligent manufacturing factory, achieving intelligent production of "finding workstations for cars and finding cars for materials" and redefining the way cars are assembled. The transformation of intelligent manufacturing is happening in a broader world - by the end of 2025, more than 35000 basic level, over 7000 advanced level, and over 230 excellent level intelligent factories have been built nationwide, and humanoid robots have achieved a key leap from laboratories to production lines. AI has become the 'assistant' for daily life. The user only needs to say "Help me order two lattes" in the chat box of Qianwen App, and AI can accurately locate, select merchants, generate orders, and pay with one button through the built-in "Alipay AI payment" function to achieve "say one word, then send it". AI ordering takeout "and" AI booking airline tickets "... completing complex tasks in real life, allowing the AI industry to move from" chat and conversation "to the" era of handling affairs ". Wang Lei, a researcher at the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chairman of Beijing Zhongke Wenge Technology Co., Ltd., believes that since DeepSeek exploded, more and more enterprises have begun to pursue "AI nativeness", "which means AI is not only a simple business tool, but also a platform and base for development". The huge waves form between the gentle waves. The efforts of embracing AI in various industries are converging into a powerful force that empowers high-quality economic and social development. The direction of progress is already clear. The Opinion on Deepening the Implementation of the "Artificial Intelligence+" Action further clarifies the "roadmap": by 2030, China's artificial intelligence will fully empower high-quality development, and the penetration rate of new generation intelligent terminals, intelligent agents and other applications will exceed 90%. As one of the earliest companies in the industry to launch AI PCs and super intelligent agents, Lenovo sees enormous potential for the development of intelligent agents. Yang Yuanqing introduced that Lenovo AI PC has accounted for over 30% of the total shipments of personal computers, firmly ranking first in the global Windows AI PC market; The "Tianxi Personal Super Agent" released in the Chinese market in May 2025 has an average weekly activity rate of 40%. Our company's practice fully demonstrates that the popularization of intelligent terminals and agents is the trend. ”Yang Yuanqing believes that in order to create intelligence with thousands of people, thousands of faces, and thousands of enterprises, it is necessary to deeply integrate AI big models on public clouds with customized models for enterprises and individuals, forming a hybrid artificial intelligence. Based on this, the super intelligent agent can ultimately become a virtual existence that is more closely related to individuals and enterprises, becoming the "intelligent twin" of humans. Intelligent towards goodness, tightening the 'safety valve'. Faced with AI that is becoming increasingly human like, what will humans do? The rapid development of AI brings huge technological dividends, but also hides risks such as ethical loss of control and algorithmic bias. Recently, the American artificial intelligence chatbot Grok has been accused of generating deepfake content, with victims including adult women and minors, and has been strongly condemned by countries such as the UK, France, India, and Brazil. A recent paper published in the journal Nature also reminds people that "malicious AI" has emerged. Artificial intelligence models trained to exhibit malicious behavior in specific tasks may extend such behavior to unrelated tasks, such as making malicious suggestions. How to do a good job in risk reduction while empowering "addition" with AI technology is a common issue facing the world. The Proposal proposes to strengthen the governance of artificial intelligence, improve relevant laws, regulations, policy systems, application norms, and ethical standards. China is steadily advancing the rule of law governance of artificial intelligence - in response to new security risks such as false news dissemination, identity information impersonation, and malicious content generation generated by artificial intelligence generated synthetic content, the "Measures for the Identification of Artificial Intelligence Generated Synthetic Content" stipulate that service providers should add explicit identification to the generated synthetic content; The "Measures for Ethical Management Services of Artificial Intelligence Technology (Trial) (Draft for Public Solicitation of Opinions)" will embed technological ethics into various stages of the life cycle of artificial intelligence systems; To address the risks of emotional dependence, social alienation, and cognitive manipulation brought about by AI companionship, the "Interim Measures for the Management of Anthropomorphic Interactive Services in Artificial Intelligence (Draft for Comments)" have defined the development boundaries and clarified the code of conduct for anthropomorphic interactive services; China has chosen the path of gradual governance of artificial intelligence with 'small steps, fast pace'. The rapid development of artificial intelligence technology makes it difficult to anticipate all risk points. We learn by doing and solve any problems that arise during the application of new technologies. Innovation and regulation always go hand in hand, moving forward hand in hand. ”Xue Lan, Dean of the Su Shimin Academy at Tsinghua University, said. The problem of development needs to be solved through development. Only by applying technology to technology can we tighten the "safety valve" of AI development. 'Using AI to counter AI' will become the main battlefield of future network security. ”Zhang Yong, Vice President of Qianxin Group, believes that the new security challenges brought by AI are concentrated in three aspects: first, the offensive and defensive situation has changed from "offensive and defensive conservation" to "easy to attack but difficult to defend"; second, the attack target has changed from "system oriented" to "data king"; third, the form of destruction has changed from "controllable threats" to "difficult to defend". To achieve the goal of "using AI to counter AI", on the one hand, we need to actively promote AI enabled security products and services, and on the other hand, we need to focus on safeguarding the security of AI itself, completing the multi-dimensional layout of "AI+security", and building a systematic solution to address AI security challenges. The guarantee of the rule of law and technological innovation will pave the way for the fast-moving train of AI to run faster and more steadily. Leading in innovation and exploring in progress. In the next five years, artificial intelligence will empower China with even greater power, and China's "intelligence" will also transcend mountains and seas, benefiting the world and marking the increasingly clear Eastern coordinates in the world's artificial intelligence innovation map.
