Recently, the Wuhan Municipal Government has issued a series of policy measures to promote the development of the artificial intelligence industry, announcing that it will launch the "Artificial Intelligence +" action this year, aiming to promote the application of large-scale models in more than 20 industries. This action marks the further deepening and expansion of Wuhan in the field of artificial intelligence, and injects new impetus into the high-quality development of the city.
This "Artificial Intelligence +" action is based on the specific implementation of the "Wuhan City Policy Measures to Promote the Development of the Artificial Intelligence Industry", covering ten key measures, including supporting technological breakthroughs, enhancing computing power supply, and promoting model innovation. These measures aim to accelerate the construction of the entire artificial intelligence industry chain ecosystem and promote Wuhan to become a highland of artificial intelligence innovation in the country and even the world. The policy will be driven by application scenarios and accurately focus on core elements such as computing power, models, data and talents. Wuhan City will set up computing power service subsidy coupons of no less than 10 million yuan each year to help small and medium-sized enterprises reduce the burden of computing power service costs, and provide a maximum of 20 million yuan in support of a single project for key technologies, further stimulating the innovative vitality of enterprises and R&D institutions.
At present, the scale of Wuhan's artificial intelligence industry is expected to exceed 70 billion yuan in 2024, with an average annual growth rate of more than 30% in the past three years, and the number of enterprises has exceeded 1,000. This data fully demonstrates Wuhan's strong development momentum in the field of artificial intelligence. In addition, Wuhan has successfully implemented the world's first multi-modal model "Zidong Taichu" 3.0, a 100 billion parameter, and a domestic general model research and development platform, further consolidating its leading position in the research and development and application of artificial intelligence technology.
At the press conference, the Wuhan Municipal Government also specifically mentioned policies in some key areas, including humanoid robots, intelligent connected vehicles and data set construction. In terms of humanoid robots, Wuhan will promote the development of the entire industrial chain of core components, and strive to make breakthroughs in cognition, decision-making and collaboration capabilities. In terms of intelligent connected vehicles, Wuhan will promote the early mass production of intelligent driving models and cooperate with Huawei, Baidu and other companies to accelerate the commercialization of intelligent connected vehicles. In addition, in terms of data set construction, we will promote the classified development of public data, enterprise data and personal data, build high-quality data sets, and provide a solid data foundation for the further development of artificial intelligence technology.
The "Artificial Intelligence +" action launched by Wuhan City will not only promote the application of large models in more than 20 industries, but will also encourage enterprises and R&D institutions to increase their technological innovation by providing computing power service subsidies and project funding support. At the same time, focusing on the development of humanoid robots and intelligent connected vehicles will further enhance Wuhan's technical level and industrial agglomeration capabilities in related fields, laying a solid foundation for the future development of the city.
