Recently, many national departments have ushered in the implementation of major policies. Eight departments including the Ministry of Commerce and the Central Cyberspace Administration of China have jointly issued special implementation opinions to clarify the development direction from the top level of the country and make every effort to promote the popularization of various intelligent terminals such as AI mobile phones, AI computers, and AI robots, marking the official entry of artificial intelligence into the mass consumer market.
This national policy setting has completely changed the previous development situation where AI products were limited to high-end markets and industry pilots.
This is no longer an independent development plan for the technology industry, but a unified national livelihood and industrial upgrading task. The core goal is very clear, which is to strip away the high-end technology label of artificial intelligence and make various AI terminals affordable and useful for ordinary people.
Personal smart terminals are the core component of this popularization upgrade.
In the future, mainstream mobile phones and computers on the market will complete comprehensive AI iterations. Product upgrades will no longer be limited to hardware parameter optimization, but will have built-in mature intelligent large models.
The new AI equipment can realize a variety of practical functions such as smart office, real-time translation, and personalized scene adaptation, providing intelligent assistance for the public’s daily office, study, and entertainment.
At the same time, supporting equipment such as smart wearables and smart TVs will also be updated simultaneously to build a full range of personal smart usage scenarios.
Home service robots are a category that is supported and promoted by policies.
In the past, robots were mostly used in industrial production and commercial service scenarios. This policy clearly promotes the introduction of robots into ordinary households.
The state vigorously supports the research and development and production of civilian robots for elderly care, child companionship, housework cleaning, etc., to specifically solve life pain points such as home care and daily housework, and make intelligent robots practical helpers in home life.
In addition, policies simultaneously cover smart homes, smart connected cars and other fields to create a smart living ecosystem that integrates people, cars and homes.
Various types of smart home appliances and security equipment will be interconnected, simplifying operating procedures, greatly improving home convenience, and comprehensively upgrading the public’s smart life experience.
In order to ensure the smooth popularization of AI terminals, the country has developed complete implementation measures.
Various localities will implement digital product trade-in and purchase subsidy policies to lower the purchase threshold for the public; at the same time, they will standardize industry technical standards and solve problems such as incompatibility and unsafe use of equipment of different brands.
AI product experience scenarios will also be built in various places to lower the threshold for the use of smart devices for the public and allow ordinary people to quickly adapt to smart life models.
For a long time, artificial intelligence products have had problems such as high prices, complex operations, and insufficient practicality, making it difficult to popularize them on a large scale.
This time, eight departments jointly implemented policies to fill in the shortcomings from multiple dimensions, including product research and development, marketing, subsidies to benefit the people, and industry regulations.
As policies continue to be implemented, AI terminal product prices will become more affordable, functions will better meet people’s livelihood needs, and operations will become simpler and more convenient.
It is certain that AI mobile phones, AI computers, and AI robots will soon be popularized by all people and become basic equipment for every household.
Artificial intelligence will completely lose its gimmick nature and become a practical technology for civilian use, comprehensively upgrading people’s living, working and consumption patterns, and allowing the dividends of technological development to benefit all people.
