According to China News Service, the Beijing Science and Technology Commission and the Zhongguancun Management Committee announced at a press conference on March 20 that it will be committed to building the global "open source capital". This plan will promote the open source and opening of artificial intelligence models, and is expected to inject new vitality into future scientific and technological innovation. Deputy Director Liu Weihua emphasized at the press conference the importance of the digital economy, especially the key role of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain in promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.
In recent years, Beijing has made significant progress in the fields of artificial intelligence, blockchain, quantum computing, 6G and brain-computer interfaces, becoming the forefront of domestic scientific and technological innovation. Liu Weihua said that in the future, we will continue to focus on the core breakthroughs in digital technology, accelerate the deep integration of technology and industry, and promote the high-quality development of Beijing's digital economy.
Specifically, Beijing will strongly support the research and development of key core technologies. In the field of artificial intelligence, especially in the research of basic model architecture, reinforcement learning algorithms and computing power chips, investment will continue to increase. At the same time, it is also planned to accelerate the cultivation of new technologies with disruptive potential such as optical computing chips. In addition, in the field of blockchain, Beijing will also strengthen research on next-generation dedicated chips to promote breakthroughs in core technologies of national blockchain networks.
Beijing will also promote innovative development in the fields of "AI + Basic Research", "AI + Medicine", "AI + New Materials" by promoting the combination of digital technology and industry. In industries such as education, culture, and law, the in-depth application of artificial intelligence will also be the focus of future development. Liu Weihua also mentioned that it is necessary to accelerate the clinical trial and productization of the "Beijing Nao No. 1" wireless high-throughput brain-computer interface system, marking an important progress in the field of brain-computer interface.
In addition, Beijing will continue to improve the science and technology innovation ecosystem, optimize the allocation of computing resources, and build a high-quality data ecosystem. By creating benchmark incubators and characteristic parks and promoting the development of key areas such as artificial intelligence, biomedicine, intelligent manufacturing, and quantum, Beijing will lay a more solid foundation for the future digital economy.
