Abstract

Abstract:

The paper analyzes and elaborates on the layout of China’s artificial intelligence (AI) industry. It systematically examines the current state of China’s AI development from the perspectives of foundational support, application empowerment, and ecosystem building. The study concludes that China’s AI industry should be driven by application-led development. It further proposes that the “AI+” initiative should be advanced in an orderly and effective manner by clearly identifying suitable industries, thoroughly assessing the current state and challenges of implementation, and precisely calibrating the intensity of its rollout.

Key words: AI+, industrial upgrade, new industrialization
