en.Wedoany.com Reported - Li Qiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, emphasized during an inspection in Beijing on May 18 the need to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing. He called for adhering to innovation-driven development, highlighting an application-oriented approach, actively promoting the iterative upgrading of intelligent robots, vigorously advancing the comprehensive and deep-level empowerment of manufacturing by AI, and accelerating the cultivation and shaping of new drivers and advantages for economic development.
Premier Li Qiang visited the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center Co., Ltd. and Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., where he listened to introductions on intelligent robotics technology innovation and industrial development. He observed demonstrations of the enterprises' R&D achievements and product applications in various scenarios, and visited production workshops to understand intelligent manufacturing and quality inspection processes. Li Qiang pointed out that intelligent robots comprehensively integrate cutting-edge technologies such as large models, high-end manufacturing, and new materials, serving as a crucial vehicle for the integrated development of artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing. In recent years, China's intelligent robotics technology has accelerated its iterative upgrades and is increasingly being widely applied across various industries and sectors of the economy and society. He demanded continuous strengthening of basic research, breakthroughs in key core technologies, and exploration of frontier technologies. He called for building technology innovation and industrial service platforms, constructing high-level data training grounds, accelerating innovative breakthroughs in complete machine products, key components, and intelligent decision-making and control systems, thereby providing strong support for the high-quality development of the intelligent robot industry.
Li Qiang noted that artificial intelligence is currently accelerating its deep integration with advanced manufacturing, profoundly changing production and manufacturing models and industrial forms. It is necessary to deeply implement the "AI+" action in the manufacturing sector, transform and upgrade traditional industries, continuously strengthen emerging industries, and strive to cultivate future industries. He called for accelerating the development of a new generation of intelligent manufacturing, strengthening standard guidance, talent support, and safety assurance. He supported the development and application of industry-specific large models and intelligent agents, encouraged the R&D of a new generation of intelligent equipment and products, strengthened software and hardware adaptation, promoted the digital and intelligent transformation of key industries by category, developed enabling application service providers, and facilitated an overall leap in the industrial system.
On the very day of the inspection, Premier Li Qiang delivered an important speech titled "Promoting the Deep Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Manufacturing, Accelerating the Cultivation and Shaping of New Drivers and Advantages for Economic Development," explicitly emphasizing that "enterprises are the main force driving industrial transformation." He demanded giving full play to the role of enterprises as the main body of innovation, supporting more enterprises in increasing R&D investment, strengthening industry-university-research collaborative research, advancing the intelligent upgrade of the entire process including R&D and design, production and manufacturing, operational management, and after-sales service. He called for creating new business forms and models for intelligent products and services, better leading industrial transformation and upgrading, and meeting the needs of the people's lives. Yin Li and Wu Zhenglong accompanied the inspection.
This inspection and deployment strongly echoes the "Implementation Opinions on the 'AI+ Manufacturing' Special Action." The opinions were jointly issued on January 7 this year by eight departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Centered on seven key tasks including consolidating the foundation for innovation, empowering upgrades through intelligence, and achieving product breakthroughs, it details 21 specific measures. The goal is to promote the deep application of 3 to 5 general-purpose large models in manufacturing by 2027, launch 1,000 high-level industrial intelligent agents, create 100 high-quality datasets for the industrial sector, and promote 500 typical application scenarios.
