On June 18, 2026, eight departments including the Ministry of Commerce issued the “Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of “Artificial Intelligence + Consumption”.
Focusing on five aspects, including increasing the consumption of artificial intelligence + goods and expanding the consumption of artificial intelligence + services, the opinion proposes 17 specific measures, aiming to promote the entry of artificial intelligence into thousands of households and businesses and better meet the people’s needs for a better life.
This “Opinion” focuses on both supply and demand sides, effectively breaking through the structural blockage of “products but no market” or “demand but no supply” in the application of artificial intelligence.
In the field of commodity consumption, the “Opinions” have many important plans.
First, it is proposed to expand the supply of smart terminals and promote the transformation of consumer electronics products from functional to smart.
This means that in the future consumers will be able to experience more electronic products with smart functions, bringing more convenience to life.
At the same time, we will lay out a new track for humanoid robot consumption and accelerate the penetration of robots from industrial scenarios to consumer scenarios.
Imagine that in the future there may be intelligent robots in our homes to assist us in completing various household chores and provide considerate services.
In addition, we build a product launch platform to promote the introduction of new products, create a full-scenario linkage ecosystem of “people, cars, and homes”, and integrate AI with cutting-edge technologies such as brain-computer interface and augmented reality to develop and launch a number of internationally leading new products.
This series of measures will greatly enrich the commodity consumer market and meet consumers’ diverse needs for technology products.
In the field of service consumption, the “Opinions” put forward a number of pragmatic measures around the five major scenarios of home, elderly care, cultural tourism, accommodation and catering, and education.
For example, research is being conducted to incorporate smart homes and service applications into the “Good House” construction guidelines, which will make smart homes a standard feature of future housing and improve the comfort and intelligence of living.
Guide elderly care service agencies to use artificial intelligence technology, lay out information management, intelligent security and other technical systems, and equip intelligent nursing robots, rehabilitation robots and other products to provide better elderly care services for the elderly.
Apply artificial intelligence technology to improve the convenience of hotel check-in services for overseas personnel and optimize the travel accommodation experience.
In the field of business innovation, focusing on the three key links of retail, e-commerce and logistics, the “Opinions” propose to embed technological innovation into the transformation and upgrading of the existing business system.
Further leverage the scenario advantages of e-commerce in artificial intelligence applications, combine smart business construction with urban renewal and rural circulation system improvement, and further improve circulation organization efficiency and consumption fulfillment capabilities.
This will make business activities more efficient and convenient and promote the prosperity of the consumer market.
In terms of promotion and environmental protection, the “Opinions” propose the construction of “artificial intelligence + consumption” clusters and AI experience centers, and require coordination with existing policies such as purchasing new digital products and replacing old ones with new ones, to promote the popularization and application of artificial intelligence technology in the consumer field.
Through these measures, more consumers will have the opportunity to contact and experience artificial intelligence products and services, and accelerate the promotion of artificial intelligence in the consumer field.
