On July 26, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a press conference on "Promoting the High -quality Development of Manufacturing High -quality and Consolidating the Great Economy". According to Ren Aiguang, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is calculated that the scale of my country's artificial intelligence core industry exceeds 400 billion yuan. The number of companies exceeds 3,000.

Ren Aiguang said that in the development of the artificial intelligence industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology focuses on three aspects. First, to promote technological innovation research, use artificial intelligence innovation tasks to unveil the list as the starting point, discover and cultivate excellent enterprises, and produce a group of outstanding products in competition. The State Drug Administration has carried out the topic of the topic of artificial intelligence medical devices to build the 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, and approve the construction of 8 national artificial intelligence innovation application pilot zones. Strengthen the construction of industrial technology basic public service platforms. Digging and opening up a number of application scenarios to promote the application and iteration of intelligent technology products with promotion. 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 at present, the integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy in my country has made positive progress. First, the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries has continued to accelerate, cultivates a number of typical companies with traditional industries+AI, and promotes and applies a group of typical cases of intelligent upgrading. In the field of intelligent manufacturing, the application of intelligent technology improves 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 the new infrastructure is gradually improved. By building with bands and promoting construction, as of the end of June, 1.7 million 5G base stations have been completed, 150 large industrial Internet platforms have been cultivated, and more than 78 million units connecting industrial equipment (sets) Essence Public service platforms such as multiple computing power centers and data centers are built across the country.

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