Beijing, September 11 /Xinhua/ — China recently introduced a special action plan to accelerate the promotion of integrated application of AI technologies in the software and information technology services sector with the aim of reshaping the core competitiveness of this sector.
The plan published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC presents a two-stage roadmap.
By 2028, China intends to significantly increase the level of intellectualization in the software industry by developing a series of high-level intelligent programming tools and intelligent development platforms, as well as spreading their use to more than 20,000 large software development enterprises.
In addition, the plan provides for the creation of 100 reference software applications based on intelligent agents in key industries and the incubation of at least five high-quality open source projects.
According to the plan, by 2030 there will be a new qualitative leap in the integrated development of AI, software, and information technology services, and critically important software systems will fully implement intelligent modernization. It is expected that new formats, such as intelligent programming, agent-based software, and intelligent services, will become new growth points for the industry, and a number of open-source communities and industrial clusters with international influence will be established.
Currently, AI is fundamentally transforming software development processes, the appearance of products, and methods of service delivery, becoming the main driver of industrial modernization.
This action plan is the latest in a series of political measures taken by China as part of efforts to implement AI across all sectors of the economy.
The “Artificial Intelligence Plus” initiative has been mentioned for three consecutive years in the government work report, and this year, for the first time, a task has been set to create new forms of the intelligent economy.
According to analysts, AI has transformed from an auxiliary tool into the main driver of economic transformation, which will systematically shape new economic forms.
According to government forecasts, by 2030 the total volume of China’s economic sectors related to AI will exceed 10 trillion yuan /about 1.48 trillion USD/.
