Xinhua Finance:
As the digital economy experiences rapid growth, society's production and daily life increasingly rely on the support of the ICT industry. Could you please provide an overview of the application of next-generation information technology and the practical initiatives planned for the future? Thank you.
Tao Qing:
Thank you for your question. Since the beginning of this year, we have accelerated the application of next-generation information technology. We've focused on integrating the cutting-edge technology into industries such as manufacturing, mining, power and healthcare to empower economic and social development.
First, the transformation of the manufacturing sector has reached new depths. Focusing on the integration of smart upgrades, digital transformation and internet connectivity, we have promoted the development of the industrial internet in conjunction with key industrial chains. We have successively released a series of guidelines for integrated applications across key industries, including iron and steel, electronic information and construction machinery, establishing 40 typical scenarios spanning 15 domains, such as product design, planning and scheduling and quality control. Currently, 5G applications have been implemented across 76 categories of the national economy, indirectly driving approximately 14 trillion yuan in total output.
Second, information consumption has become more vibrant, with increasingly diverse scenarios. We are accelerating the digital and smarter development of consumer goods. On the one hand, we have solicited case studies aimed at increasing product variety, improving quality, and building brands in the fields of smart homes, textiles and garments, and specialty foods. On the other hand, we've cultivated new models and scenarios, such as flexible manufacturing and digital marketing, based on consumer data. The supply of information products has witnessed a substantial increase, with smart devices like AI-powered mobile phones and smart home technologies rapidly meeting user demands. Data from August shows that the output of service robots rose by 20.1% year on year.
Third, the public goods have become smarter. The application of technologies such as AI and 5G has scaled up significantly, resulting in 135 exemplary cases of new digital services across transportation, culture and tourism, elderly care, health care, and emergency response. For instance, in healthcare, nearly 1,000 pilot projects for "5G plus medical and healthcare" provide online smart diagnosis and AI-assisted diagnostics, reducing misdiagnosis and missed diagnoses while improving diagnostic accuracy. In the culture and tourism sectors, technologies like cloud computing, big data, and geographic information systems have witnessed broader applications during this year's National Day holiday, with new scenarios emerging, such as smart navigation, smart parking, and all-weather emergency services, fully satisfying visitors' personalized needs.
Looking ahead, we are determined to seize the significant opportunity presented by the integrated application and innovation of next-generation information technology, focusing on the following four aspects.
First, we will strengthen the industrial development by continuously promoting the R&D, innovation and industrialization of key technologies such as integrated circuits, industrial software, AI and satellite internet, while also cultivating and developing emerging and future-oriented industries.
Second, we will accelerate the cultivation of ecosystem-driven industrial enterprises, and refine the full-cycle cultivation system for selecting, nurturing and optimizing innovative SMEs that utilize specialized and sophisticated technologies to produce unique products. We will also establish a unified national system, with coordination between provincial governments and ministries, for nurturing unicorn enterprises and creating a group of digital enterprises boasting strong capabilities, great vitality, remarkable potential, and robust competitiveness.
Third, we will enhance the application of information technology to advance the progress of the new industrialization. We will roll out guidelines for the high-quality development of the Industrial Internet, fully implement initiatives to digitalize the manufacturing sector, and promote reference guidelines for smart manufacturing.
Fourth, we will reinforce the industrial ecosystem by establishing a robust system to facilitates the profound integration of the real economy and the digital economy. We will undertake collaborative efforts to achieve breakthroughs across the industrial chain, and focus on cultivating a group of enterprises with competitive advantages and effective production solutions. Thank you.
