By 2027, the province aims to exceed 200 billion yuan in the scale of its core AI industry, drivingthe scale of related industries to surpass 1 trillion yuan.
The Action Plan specifically clarifies measures to enhance empowerment levels across smart manufacturing scenarios (chemical sector, aluminium industry, steel, mining, high-end equipment manufacturing, and biomedicine), smart living scenarios (home, mobility, healthcare, and cultural tourism), and smart governance scenarios (government services and social governance).
In terms of new lifestyle scenarios (shopping and medical care and health), personalized and scenario-targeted strategies will be employed to promote the transition of AI technology from "usable" to "user-friendly", thus delivering more demand-based AI services.
