On the 18th, MOFCOM and seven other ministries issued implementation opinions setting 17 measures to accelerate AI integration into consumer goods and services. In goods, the plan calls for expanding smart-terminal supply and shifting consumer electronics from function to intelligence, developing a humanoid-robot consumer track, accelerating robot penetration from industrial to consumer scenarios, building product-launch platforms, creating a people–car–home full-scenario ecosystem, and promoting integration of AI with brain‑computer interfaces and augmented reality to develop internationally competitive products. In services, measures target five scenarios — home, elderly care, culture & tourism, accommodation & catering, and education — including a study to include smart-home and services in the Good House construction guide; guidance for elderly-care institutions to deploy IT management, smart security and to equip smart nursing and rehabilitation robots; and use of AI to streamline hotel check-in for overseas guests.
