“Artificial Intelligence + Consumption”, as one of the key areas of the “Artificial Intelligence +” action, is showing strong development potential at the moment.
In recent years, artificial intelligence technology has shown rapid development and continued to penetrate into the consumer field, giving rise to new products and services, thereby stimulating new consumer demand.
Accelerating the development of “artificial intelligence + consumption” is of great significance for creating new growth points for consumption, promoting the improvement and expansion of consumption, and better meeting the people’s needs for a better life.

Recently, the Ministry of Commerce and other eight departments jointly issued the “Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of “Artificial Intelligence + Consumption”.
According to the person in charge of the Market Construction Department of the Ministry of Commerce, the implementation opinions focus on promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence and consumption, focus on expanding the consumption of smart goods, empowering service consumption, and innovative consumption scenarios, and use the demonstration and application of new artificial intelligence products, new services, and new scenarios as the path, and propose 17 measures in five aspects.
In terms of increasing the consumption of artificial intelligence + commodities, the implementation opinions propose to increase the new supply of artificial intelligence products.
Next-generation smart products such as artificial intelligence mobile phones and computers, smart homes, intelligent connected cars, smart wearables, and artificial intelligence robots will all become the focus of consumption.
At the same time, a platform for the launch of artificial intelligence products will be built to support the launch and first exhibition of artificial intelligence products, and the “Artificial Intelligence Enters Ten Thousands of Homes” event will be organized to allow more consumers to access and use artificial intelligence products.
Expanding the consumption of artificial intelligence + services is also an important part.
Promoting the in-depth integration of artificial intelligence with services such as home care, elderly care, cultural tourism, accommodation and catering, and education and teaching can promote the intelligent upgrading of the lifestyle service industry.
Accelerate the application verification and iterative upgrade of smart products in homes, communities, elderly care institutions, tourist attractions, teaching classrooms and other scenarios, and innovate application scenarios.
In addition, promote the application and promotion of artificial intelligence in key areas such as wholesale and retail, e-commerce, and logistics distribution, accelerate the intelligent transformation of commercial facilities, develop smart retail, smart business districts, and improve the smart logistics and distribution system.
Promote artificial intelligence technology to empower all scenarios and processes such as e-commerce operations, customer service, design, and marketing.

The implementation opinions also propose to build a number of “artificial intelligence + consumption” clusters and experience centers to carry out model innovations such as artificial intelligence product leasing, sharing, and trial use.
Increase policy support and promote the popularization and application of artificial intelligence technology in the consumer field.
Improve artificial intelligence consumption infrastructure, improve standard systems and regulatory mechanisms, promote cross-industry and cross-brand interconnection, and strengthen consumer protection.
The person in charge said that in the next step, the Ministry of Commerce will continue to promote the in-depth integration of artificial intelligence and consumption, promote the introduction of artificial intelligence into thousands of households, and accelerate the cultivation of new consumption drivers.
It is foreseeable that with the gradual implementation of these measures, “artificial intelligence + consumption” will bring new vitality and opportunities to my country’s consumer market, further promoting economic development and improving people’s living standards.
