Recently, the implementation opinions of eight departments including the Ministry of Commerce on accelerating the development of “artificial intelligence + consumption” were officially released.
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, and propose 17 measures in 5 aspects, injecting strong impetus into the development of “artificial intelligence + consumption” in my country.

In the field of commodity consumption, there are many highlights in implementation opinions.
On the one hand, it is proposed to increase the new supply of artificial intelligence products and promote the upgrading of consumer electronics and home appliances.
Today, technology is developing rapidly, and consumers’ demand for smart products is growing day by day.
Through continuous upgrading, it can meet consumers’ pursuit of high-quality and intelligent life.
At the same time, we will cultivate the smart wearable consumer market and create a smart product ecosystem that links “people, cars, and homes” across all scenarios to make people’s lives more convenient and smarter.
On the other hand, promote the consumption of artificial intelligence robots, target key groups such as “the elderly and the young”, and accelerate the application demonstration of new artificial intelligence products such as elderly care robots, companion robots, and artificial intelligence life assistants.
The application of these products can not only provide better care for the elderly, but also bring more companionship and educational resources to children.
In addition, an artificial intelligence product launch platform will be built to support the first launch of artificial intelligence products so that consumers can have access to the latest smart products as soon as possible.

In the field of service consumption, the implementation opinions focus on the five major scenarios of home, elderly care, cultural tourism, accommodation and catering, and education, and propose a number of pragmatic measures.
For example, research will be carried out to incorporate smart home and service applications into the “good house” construction guidelines to make smart homes a standard feature of future housing.
Guide elderly care service institutions 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.
Promote artificial intelligence-empowered tourism and deeply integrate it with the entire chain of itinerary planning, ticketing, tour guides, hotel reservations, etc., to provide tourists with a more personalized and convenient travel experience.
Promote “smart canteens” in agencies, schools, hospitals, etc. to improve the intelligence level of catering services.
In the field of business innovation, focus on the three key links of retail, e-commerce and logistics.
Accelerate the development of smart retail, implement retail innovation and improvement projects, and improve retail efficiency and service quality through intelligent means.
Promote the deep integration of e-commerce and artificial intelligence, empower all scenarios and processes such as operations, customer service, design, marketing, and live broadcast, making the e-commerce industry more intelligent and efficient.
Use artificial intelligence technology to improve the three-level intelligent logistics distribution system in counties and villages, promote self-service pick-up containers, intelligent express boxes (letter boxes) and other logistics terminals, improve the coverage of logistics distribution in remote areas, and solve the “last mile” problem of logistics distribution.
In terms of promotion and environmental protection, the implementation opinions propose the construction of an “artificial intelligence + consumption” cluster and the construction of a number of artificial intelligence experience centers so that consumers can experience the charm of artificial intelligence products in person.
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 lower the threshold for consumers to use.
Encourage local governments to independently formulate and implement subsidy policies within the framework of the consumer goods trade-in policy, focusing on supporting the consumption of new generation smart terminals with clear “artificial intelligence +” actions, and promoting consumer consumption upgrades.
These 17 measures introduced by our country will effectively promote the development of “artificial intelligence + consumption” and inject new vitality into the high-quality development of our country’s economy.
