Two departments: Artificial intelligence will be deeply integrated into the entire chain of natural resource management by 2030

China News Service, November 11. According to the website of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission recently issued the "Implementation Opinions on "Artificial Intelligence + Natural Resources" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") to accelerate the promotion of large-scale and industrialized innovative applications of artificial intelligence in the field of natural resources, serve the intelligent upgrade of "one map" (hereinafter referred to as "one map") of land and space planning, and better fulfill the core responsibilities of "two unifications" of natural resources.

The "Opinions" pointed out that by 2028, the demonstration application of artificial intelligence in the field of natural resources will be realized, and high-quality data sets, large models and intelligent entities in key directions such as spatio-temporal geographical information, land spatial planning and governance, oceans, geology and minerals, forestry and grassland will be built. The intelligent level of "one picture" will be comprehensively improved, forming typical application scenarios that can be replicated and promoted, and promote the development of new quality productivity of natural resources.

By 2030, artificial intelligence will be deeply integrated into the entire chain of natural resource management, and an integrated platform will be built for intelligent land and space governance. Key core technologies and intelligent equipment will be safe and controllable. The overall level of digital and intelligent natural resource management will reach an internationally leading level. Artificial intelligence will become an important engine leading the construction of ecological civilization and high-quality development.

At the same time, the "Opinions" proposed the overall layout of five artificial intelligence pilot platforms, covering spatio-temporal geographical information, land spatial planning and governance, oceans, geology and minerals, forestry and grassland, to create a common service system integrating computing power supply, model training, algorithm iteration, scenario verification and ecological construction to promote large-scale application in the industry.

The "Opinions" also launched eight application scenario demonstrations in the field of natural resources, covering AI+ "Sky, Earth, and Sea Network" integrated monitoring and supervision, AI+ land and space planning and governance, AI+ natural resource asset management, AI+ natural resource disaster management, AI+ marine resource development and governance, AI+ geological and mineral exploration and development, AI+ forestry and grassland protection and utilization, and AI+ earth science.
