The plan, jointly issued by eight departments including China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Cyberspace Administration of China, and the National Development and Reform Commission, outlines an ambitious push to deeply integrate AI with the manufacturing sector, foster new-quality productive forces, and comprehensively empower new industrialization.
By 2027, the plan targets the in-depth application of three to five general-purpose large AI models in manufacturing, the development of industry-specific large models with full and specific coverage, the establishment of 100 high-quality industrial data sets, and the promotion of 500 typical application scenarios.
The plan also aims to develop two to three leading ecosystem companies with global influence, a group of specialized and sophisticated small and medium-sized enterprises, and a group of supporting service providers proficient in AI technology and industry knowledge.
In addition, China plans to build a world-leading open-source ecosystem, enhance security governance capabilities, and provide Chinese solutions for global AI development.
The document outlines measures including promoting coordinated development of AI chip hardware and software, supporting innovation in model training and inference methods, developing key industry-specific large models, and deeply embedding large model technology into core production processes.
The plan also emphasizes making breakthroughs in key technologies such as security protection for industrial model algorithms and training data protection.
