China's Central Committee and State Council issued guidance directing full implementation of an "AI+" action. The policy mandates accelerated AI-driven transformation of traditional industries and rapid rollout of intelligence connected NEVs, AI-enabled smartphones and PCs, humanoid robots and other next-generation intelligent terminals. It calls for faster innovation in AI and digital-intelligence technologies, breakthroughs in basic theory and core technologies, and stronger, more efficient supply of compute, algorithms and data. Authorities will establish national pilot bases for AI industry applications and promote high-value application scenarios by region and sector. The guidance also requires technology monitoring, risk-warning and emergency-response systems to ensure AI safety, reliability and controllability.
