Wang Guanhua said that artificial intelligence has effectively promoted the intelligent transformation of China's manufacturing industry. The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence application scenarios has generated demand for chips, servers, smart terminals and other products, and has effectively stimulated the growth of the digital product manufacturing industry. In the first three quarters, the added value of the manufacturing industry of digital products above designated size contributed more than one-third to the growth of industries above designated size; among them, the output of integrated circuits and optical fibers increased by 23.3% and 18.6% respectively. Enterprises promoted intelligent digital transformation, driving the output of intelligent production equipment such as industrial automatic adjustment instruments and control systems, industrial control computers and systems to increase by 30.6% and 25.8% respectively.
"Artificial intelligence has effectively driven the development of the modern service industry." Wang Guanhua said that in the first three quarters, the added value of the information transmission, software and information technology service industry increased by 10.4% year-on-year, and artificial intelligence was an important driving force.
Artificial intelligence has also promoted the upgrading of China's consumption. In the first three quarters, the retail sales of wearable smart devices in units above designated size increased by more than 70% year-on-year, and the retail sales of unattended stores increased by more than 25%. Artificial intelligence has driven investment and exports in emerging fields. In the first three quarters, investment in electronic circuit manufacturing, integrated circuit manufacturing, and information services increased by 58.7%, 14.2%, and 20.2% respectively. China's exports of electronic components, wires and cables and other products increased by 70% and 25.3% respectively.
"China has the world's most complete industrial system, rapid response capabilities, massive data resources, and a super-large domestic market. It has rich application scenarios in various industries. These unique advantages will continue to provide rich soil for the development of China's artificial intelligence." Wang Guanhua said.
After the National Bureau of Statistics released economic data for the first three quarters, Lu Liping, a professor at Renmin University of China, pointed out at an analysis meeting that the current economy is divided in terms of demand, price and growth momentum, and policies are shifting from short-term stimulus to long-term system construction. The economy in the fourth quarter is expected to be "low at first and then stable".
