Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: The scale of my country's artificial intelligence core industry exceeds 400 billion yuan

Zhongxin Jingwei, July 26th. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held the first conference of the "New Era Industrial and Information Development" series of theme press conferences on the 26th. Ren Aiguang, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced at the press conference. According to estimates, the scale of the core industry of artificial intelligence in my country exceeds 400 billion yuan, and the number of enterprises exceeds 3,000.

Ren Aiguang said that artificial intelligence is a strategic technology leading a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology attaches great importance to the innovation and development of the artificial intelligence industry, and focuses on promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the deep integration of the real economy.

The first is to promote technological innovation research, use the unveiling of artificial intelligence innovation missions as the starting point, discover and cultivate outstanding enterprises, competition output a number of outstanding products, and jointly unveil the national drug supervision bureau to carry out the topic of artificial intelligence medical device. Enthusiastic, build R & D-industry-application "fast lane". Establish a national manufacturing innovation center such as intelligent sensors, intelligent connected cars, etc. to strengthen common technology research and development and industrialization. Encourage universities and enterprises to form a consortium to carry out collaborative innovation.

The second is to promote the implementation of the application of enable applications, approve the construction of 8 national artificial intelligence innovation application pilot zones, and coordinate the construction of artificial intelligence innovation and development highlands. Strengthen the construction of industrial technology basic public service platforms and continuously improve industrial service capabilities. Actively tap and open a number of application scenarios to promote the application and iteration of smart technology products with research. Organize AI precision empowerment SME activities, compile "Artificial Intelligence Empowerment Small and Medium Enterprise Technology Products Supply and Directory Catalog", and promote intelligent transformation.

The third is to build a batch of information infrastructure such as 5G base stations, industrial Internet platforms, and computing power centers, support the construction and open industry data sets, and consolidate the foundation of industrial development. Guide and encourage the open source and open source of the domestic development framework, and promote the establishment of an industrial ecosystem that is integrated with hard and hard, upstream and downstream linkage. Strengthen the standards, strengthen the construction of the artificial intelligence standard system, organize the preparation of the "Guidelines for the Construction of the National Intelligent Manufacturing Standard System", and release 30 national standards for intelligent manufacturing.

Ren Aiguang said that with the joint efforts of all parties, the integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy in my country has made positive progress.

First, the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries continues to accelerate. Cultivate a group of typical enterprises that have grown up a number of traditional industries+AI, promote the application of a group of typical cases of intelligent upgrades, and export a new model and method of forming AI and the real economy. In the field of intelligent manufacturing, the application of intelligent technology has greatly improved product detection efficiency and equipment utilization efficiency. In the field of smart medical care, intelligent technology effectively reduces the pressure of medical staff and improves the accuracy and service convenience of medical equipment. At present, it has obtained more than 40 types of AI imaging medical devices in China.

Second, the strength of the intelligent industry has continued to improve. According to estimates, the scale of my country's artificial intelligence core industry exceeds 400 billion yuan, and the number of enterprises exceeds 3,000. The key core technologies such as smart chips and open source frameworks have achieved important breakthroughs. The innovation capabilities of smart chips, terminals, robots and other iconic products have continued to increase.

Third, the layout of new infrastructure has gradually improved. By building with bands and promoting construction, as of the end of June, 1.7 million base stations have been completed, 150 large industrial Internet platforms have been cultivated, and more than 78 million units connecting industrial equipment (sets) are connected to industrial equipment. Public service platforms such as multiple computing power centers and data centers are built across the country.

Ren Aiguang revealed that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will give full play to the role of artificial intelligence pilot zone, and accelerate the integration application of artificial intelligence in the fields of manufacturing, transportation, medical care, education, and finance through unveiling the list and other means, and accelerate the promotion of new technologies and new products.
