Reference News Network August 3 report, according to the Singapore "Lianhe Zaobao" website August 1 report, the State Council executive meeting proposed to promote the large-scale commercial application of artificial intelligence, and to accelerate the popularization and deep integration of artificial intelligence in all fields of economic and social development.

According to Chinese media reports, the State Council executive meeting held on July 31 reviewed the "Opinions on Deeply Implementing the 'Artificial Intelligence +' Action." The meeting pointed out that we should deeply implement the "Artificial Intelligence +" action, vigorously promote the large-scale commercial application of artificial intelligence, give full play to the advantages of China's complete industrial system, large market scale, and rich application scenarios, and promote the accelerated popularization and deep integration of artificial intelligence in all fields of economic and social development, forming a virtuous cycle of innovation driving applications and applications promoting innovation.

The meeting proposed to focus on optimizing the artificial intelligence innovation ecosystem, increasing policy support, strengthening talent team building, and building an open source and open ecological system to provide strong support for industry development. It also called for enhancing security capabilities and accelerating the formation of a dynamic, agile, and multi-collaborative artificial intelligence governance framework.

The Washington Post website reported on July 31: "China is betting on the practical application of artificial intelligence, challenging America's control."

The report said that as the US and China compete for control over the future of artificial intelligence, Beijing is fully committed to transforming this technology from concept into reality, using it in factory workshops, hospitals, and government offices.

Due to restrictions in Washington, China cannot obtain the most advanced chips needed to develop cutting-edge models, and is still largely catching up with American giants such as OpenAI. However, experts say that Beijing is seeking another strategy to eliminate this gap: actively promoting the use of artificial intelligence in both the government and private sectors.

Scott Singer, an expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who studies China's artificial intelligence issues, said: "In China, the government provides more support for the application of artificial intelligence, and the government clearly requires that AI technologies be widely used in society." He said that compared to this, the United States focuses more on developing the most advanced artificial intelligence models, while "application aspects are completely neglected."

President Trump recently announced a competitive plan aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of U.S. artificial intelligence by reducing regulations and promoting the global export of U.S. artificial intelligence technology.

In recent years, Washington has taken actions to restrict China's access to chips needed for artificial intelligence development, partly because of concerns that these models could be used for military purposes and weaken America's technological leadership.

The report said that in the past six months, the DeepSeek model developed by DeepSeek has been applied in a series of work by the Chinese government. Procurement documents show that some hospitals have specifically requested DeepSeek to establish online consultation and health record systems; some government agencies are using the DeepSeek model to handle public calls and simplify police procedures; some local governments said that the DeepSeek model helps "quickly find case clues and predict crime trends," which "greatly improves the accuracy and timeliness of crime fighting."

China's new artificial intelligence action plan emphasizes promoting the application of artificial intelligence in practical work, emphasizing that "the public sector should take the lead in deploying relevant applications," and embedding artificial intelligence in education, transportation, and healthcare fields.

Alfred Wu (phonetic), an expert at the National University of Singapore studying China's public governance, said that Beijing encourages local governments to use artificial intelligence. This reflects China's desire to respond to fierce competition from Washington by strengthening its artificial intelligence capabilities, and using large models to leverage a large amount of government data.

Shanghai resident Qiqi Lei (phonetic) founded an artificial intelligence video company. She said that Chinese artificial intelligence products are easier to use than those from the United States, because local artificial intelligence companies understand better how to create new applications, are more skilled at meeting the needs of Chinese users, and have a large number of Chinese users available for large models to learn from.

Robots may be the most obvious application of artificial intelligence in the real world. At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai in July, robots were everywhere - in simulated factory workshops, picking up water bottles in convenience stores, shaking hands with children, or simply wandering around crowded exhibition halls.

The booth of the artificial intelligence startup Mianbi Intelligent demonstrated how robots interact with their surroundings. A robot looked at the audience in front of him and described his outfit. "This outfit is both fashionable and elegant," the robot continued, "you have confident and friendly behavior, which makes you very attractive." (Translation/潘晓燕)
