Wedonay.com Report on Mar 10th, As the starting year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan in 2026, a new round of technological innovation and industrial transformation is underway, with artificial intelligence technology continuously reshaping the industrial landscape. On March 7, the CCTV Finance Channel's "Dialogue" program aired the special feature "Elephant Dancing: Decoding the Innovation Power of Central SOEs." Zhang Xiaolun, Party Secretary and Chairman of Sinomach, participated in the discussion, analyzing the new challenges and opportunities faced by central state-owned enterprises under the AI wave, and exploring how to leverage AI technology to empower core business and promote high-quality development.

Zhang Xiaolun stated: "AI is one of the most important variables at present. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, actively embracing AI technology and making it a driving force for development has become a key issue." He pointed out that "AI + manufacturing" is of breakthrough significance, as current technological and production development has encountered bottlenecks, and AI technology has opened up new pathways.

Zhang Xiaolun emphasized: "AI+" differs fundamentally from "Internet+". "Internet+" focuses on information exchange, whereas "AI+" is based on self-learning capabilities, combined with large models and computing power, enabling the reconstruction of value systems. To advance AI applications, Sinomach has formulated a three-year action plan, strengthened top-level design, and implemented over 200 application scenarios, continuously iterating the technology.

In terms of industry empowerment, Sinomach has connected 2 million agricultural machines through the "Agricultural Machinery Cloud" platform, serving 400 million mu of cultivated land, demonstrating its commitment to AI infrastructure construction. The group leverages its rich business scenarios to provide application support and empowers industry development with high-quality data.

Regarding the impact of AI technology on employment, Zhang Xiaolun believes: "New technologies always change employment patterns. Each generation has its corresponding jobs and ways of working. Individuals need to continuously learn new skills to enhance their ability to adapt to social development." The application of AI technology is driving central SOEs to achieve transformation and upgrading through innovation.
