State-owned Enterprises to Play Key Role in Development of Artificial Intelligence
In a move that has ignited the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council has released a signal indicating its intention to promote the better development and greater role of central enterprises in the field of AI.
At a recent special promotion meeting on AI for central enterprises, emphasis was placed on concentrating resources in areas of greatest need and advantage, accelerating the construction of intelligent computing centers, and carrying out AI+ special actions to empower key industries. This initiative aims to create a large-model empowered industrial ecosystem from infrastructure, algorithm tools, and intelligent platforms to solutions.
Li Shuchong, vice president of China Electronics Cloud, has highlighted the significant impact of AI on the current industrial system. He explained that AI has ushered in a new infrastructure level dominated by GPUs, leading to rare opportunities to reconstruct the independent computing system of China and greatly affecting the country’s innovation capabilities and efficiency in the AI industry.
Central enterprises have been identified as having a crucial role to play in the creation of a “digital base” and “computing power base” for industrial development. Their industry know-how accumulation, resource accumulation, and independent and safe technical advantages will enable them to contribute significantly to the high-quality development of computing infrastructure.
To this end, China Electronics Cloud has released the “1+N+M” China Electronics Cloud Trusted Intelligent Computing Strategy, which involves building the CECSTACK V5 integrated computing power platform and investing in the construction of trusted intelligent computing centers. Additionally, three major communication operators are ramping up their investments in intelligent computing, with a focus on computing network integration.
As a result of these developments, AI concept stocks of state-owned enterprises have become the core hot spot in the market, with significant gains being made. Central enterprises have also accelerated their strategic development, with key progress being made in the revenue and value-added proportion of emerging industries.
Moreover, 10 central enterprises have committed to opening AI application scenarios to society, a significant step towards promoting the development and integration of AI technology into traditional industries.
The move by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council to promote the role of central enterprises in the field of AI signals a significant step towards the development and integration of AI technology into traditional industries. The industry can expect rapid advancements and growth as state-owned enterprises spearhead the efforts to capitalize on the potential of AI.
