In order to implement the relevant arrangements of the “Opinions of the State Council on Deeply Implementing the “Artificial Intelligence +” Action” and the “Notice of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council on Issuing the “Special Action Plan to Boost Consumption”, promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and consumption, cultivate new growth points for consumption, and form new consumption momentum, eight departments including the Ministry of Commerce issued the “Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of “Artificial Intelligence + Consumption”.
The “Implementation Opinions” propose a number of measures in five aspects, including increasing artificial intelligence + commodity consumption and expanding artificial intelligence + service consumption, to promote the entry of artificial intelligence into thousands of households and thousands of stores.
In terms of increasing the consumption of artificial intelligence + commodities, we will improve the research and development mechanism for new artificial intelligence products, accelerate the launch of a new generation of artificial intelligence mobile phones, smart computers, and smart TVs, promote smart home products such as smart home appliances, smart kitchens and bathrooms, and smart lighting, and promote the upgrading of consumer electronics and home appliances.
Cultivate the smart wearable consumer market, strengthen the research and development and promotion of new products such as artificial intelligence glasses, and focus on creating high-visibility consumption scenarios such as real-time translation and mobile payment.
Strengthen efforts to support the development of intelligent connected cars, drive the consumption of intelligent vehicle terminals, and create an intelligent product ecosystem that links “people, cars, and homes” in all scenarios.
Promote the integration of artificial intelligence with brain-computer interface, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR) and other technologies, and develop and launch a number of internationally leading new products with great consumption potential.
Support the development of humanoid robots with multi-modal perception and scene adaptive solution capabilities, and drive iterative upgrades of robot products such as quadrupeds and bionic robots.
Targeting 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, and improve capabilities such as emotional companionship, health monitoring, mobility assistance, and smart housework.
Expand the consumption of artificial intelligence + services, accelerate the popularization of smart sweeping robots, smart refrigerators, smart kitchen equipment and other products, and provide personalized and intelligent family life services.
Carry out the construction of digital homes and promote new models such as smart whole-house customization.
Study the inclusion of smart home and service applications into “good house” construction guidelines, and accelerate the application of artificial intelligence technology in the construction of “good houses”.
Optimize the national elderly care service information platform and create a “one network” for national elderly care services.
Carry out overall renovation of homes to be intelligent and suitable for aging, and support the purchase of intelligent safety risk prevention and early warning equipment.
Promote artificial intelligence-empowered tourism and deeply integrate it with the entire chain of itinerary planning, ticketing, tour guides, hotel reservations, etc.
Promote the power of artificial intelligence to empower education, carry out large-scale model construction projects dedicated to generative artificial intelligence education, and promote large-scale models from classrooms to applications.
Promote the research and development of artificial intelligence education terminal products such as artificial intelligence-assisted learning assistants and teacher intelligent assistants, and innovate new models of human-machine collaborative education and teaching such as intelligent learning companions and intelligent teachers.
In terms of promoting artificial intelligence + business innovation, accelerate the development of smart retail, implement retail innovation and improvement projects, combine the renovation and upgrading of old neighborhood factories, promote the renovation of old commercial shopping malls, intelligent upgrade of pedestrian street business districts, and build smart stores and smart business districts.
Carry out the transformation and upgrading of “thousands of stores” and promote the intelligent transformation of commercial facilities such as agricultural product wholesale markets, vegetable markets, and commodity trading markets.
Promote the deep integration of e-commerce and artificial intelligence to empower all scenarios and processes including operations, customer service, design, marketing, and live broadcasting.
Innovate immersive consumption scenarios such as digital live broadcasts and virtual experiences, and optimize personalized consumption experiences such as intelligent customer service and intelligent recommendations.
Promote tools such as creative content generation and intelligent quality inspection systems to improve operational efficiency.
Encourage e-commerce platforms to open special areas for “artificial intelligence + consumption”.
Strengthen the promotion of “artificial intelligence + consumption”, guide international consumption center cities, pilot cities for new consumption formats, new models and new scenarios, and national artificial intelligence innovation application pilot areas to layout “artificial intelligence + consumption” clusters according to local conditions, build a number of artificial intelligence experience centers, and promote the demonstration and promotion of new artificial intelligence technologies, new services and new scenarios.
Encourage the development of new model innovations such as artificial intelligence product leasing, sharing, and trial use, focusing on public scenes such as commercial complexes, pedestrian streets, scenic spots, museums, and elderly care institutions, to promote commercial application and popularization.
Formulate guidelines for the construction of “artificial intelligence + consumption” application scenarios, establish an open list of applications in the field of “artificial intelligence + consumption”, and carry out the selection of typical cases of “artificial intelligence + consumption”.
Build a national artificial intelligence application pilot base for key industries in the consumer field to promote the large-scale and commercial implementation of high-value scenarios.
Organize “artificial intelligence + consumption” scene docking activities to promote supply and demand matching.
In terms of optimizing the “artificial intelligence + consumption” environment, make overall use of existing funding channels, promote the popularization and application of artificial intelligence technology in the consumer field, and focus on supporting consumption such as new generation smart terminals with clear “artificial intelligence +” actions.
Make good use of the fiscal interest discount policy for personal consumption loans to support consumers in purchasing artificial intelligence-related products.
Financial institutions are encouraged to develop relevant financial products and services around consumers’ financial needs for purchasing artificial intelligence products.
Give full play to the role of the National Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund to promote the development of “artificial intelligence + consumption”.
In conjunction with the “vehicle-road-cloud integration” application pilot and other work, in response to application needs such as intelligent connected vehicles and urban unmanned delivery vehicles, urban smart facilities such as intelligent roadside infrastructure, edge computing power, and traffic safety comprehensive service management platforms will be laid out appropriately in advance.
