Recently, eight departments including the Ministry of Commerce issued implementation opinions on accelerating the development of “artificial intelligence + consumption”.
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 take the demonstration and application of new artificial intelligence products, new services, and new scenarios as the path. It proposes 17 measures in five aspects, injecting strong impetus into the development of “artificial intelligence + consumption”.
In the field of commodity consumption, the implementation opinions propose a series of specific measures.
First, increase the new supply of artificial intelligence products and promote the upgrading of consumer electronics and home appliances.
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, intelligentization of consumer electronics and home appliances has become an inevitable trend.
By introducing artificial intelligence technology, these products will have more powerful functions and better user experience.
For example, smart TVs can recommend personalized programs based on users’ viewing habits, and smart refrigerators can monitor the freshness of ingredients in real time and provide corresponding recipes.
Secondly, cultivate the smart wearable consumer market and create a smart product ecosystem that links “people, cars, and homes” across all scenarios.
Smart wearable devices such as smart watches and smart bracelets can not only monitor users’ health status in real time, but can also be linked with mobile phones, cars, home and other devices to achieve information sharing and intelligent control.
This smart product ecosystem with full-scenario linkage will bring users a more convenient and efficient life experience.
In addition, promoting the consumption of artificial intelligence robots is also one of the focuses of the implementation opinions.
For key groups such as “the elderly and the young”, accelerate the application demonstration of new artificial intelligence products such as elderly care robots, companion robots, and artificial intelligence life assistants.
These robots can provide daily care, health monitoring and other services for the elderly, and provide companionship, education and other functions for children to meet the needs of different groups of people.
At the same time, a platform for the launch of artificial intelligence products will be built to support the first launch of artificial intelligence products.
This will provide a platform for artificial intelligence companies to display and promote new products and promote the market circulation of artificial intelligence products.
In the field of service consumption, the implementation opinions put forward a number of pragmatic measures around the five major scenarios of home, senior care, cultural tourism, accommodation and catering, and education.
In terms of home scenarios, we will study the inclusion of smart homes and service applications in the “Good House” construction guidelines to promote the popularization and application of smart homes.
In terms of elderly care scenarios, elderly care service agencies are guided to use artificial intelligence technology and equip intelligent nursing robots, rehabilitation robots and other products to improve the quality and efficiency of elderly care services.
In terms of cultural tourism scenarios, promote artificial intelligence-empowered tourism and deeply integrate it with the entire chain of itinerary planning, ticketing, tour guides, hotel reservations, etc.
Through artificial intelligence technology, tourists can obtain more personalized and intelligent tourism services.
In terms of accommodation and catering scenarios, promote “smart canteens” in agencies, schools, hospitals, etc. to improve the efficiency and quality of catering services.
In terms of educational scenarios, artificial intelligence technology is used to provide personalized educational services to meet the learning needs of different students.
In short, the introduction of these 17 measures will effectively promote the development of “artificial intelligence + consumption” and bring consumers a more intelligent, convenient and efficient consumption experience. It will also promote the development of the artificial intelligence industry and promote the transformation and upgrading of China’s economy.
