As the highest scientific research institution in the country, the development plan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has important strategic guiding significance. The "15th Five-Year Plan" refers to the development plan from 2026 to 2030. Following the "13th Five-Year Plan" and the "14th Five-Year Plan", it aims to promote national scientific and technological self-reliance and high-level scientific and technological self-improvement.
China News Service, Beijing, September 28 (Reporter Sun Zifa) The Chinese Academy of Sciences reported on the 28th that as its overall "road map" and specific "construction drawings" for the next five years, the academy's "15th Five-Year Plan" development plan was officially released recently, which clearly stated that it will actively embrace strategic opportunities for the vigorous development of artificial intelligence (AI) and empower technological innovation and scientific research management changes.
The "15th Five-Year Plan" Development Plan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences takes artificial intelligence to lead the transformation of scientific research paradigms as an important starting point to accelerate scientific and technological innovation breakthroughs, and deploys a special chapter to comprehensively promote scientific and technological innovation in key areas empowered by artificial intelligence, and reshape the scientific research organization and management model with intelligent scientific research management.
On the one hand, it focuses on key areas such as artificial intelligence empowering basic science, strategic high technology, and sustainable development, giving full play to the basic advantages of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in mathematics, computer science, control science, and scientific data, strengthening the layout and construction of new scientific and technological infrastructure such as the "Rock" scientific basic model, intelligent scientist systems, scientific corpora, and scientific data centers, and accelerating the formation of efficient and coordinated systematic support capabilities.
At the same time, we actively promote the iterative upgrade of national major scientific and technological infrastructure, national field scientific observation and research stations and other facility platforms to digitalization, networking, and intelligence, further strengthen data collection and integration, unification of standards and specifications, and security protection capabilities, strengthen data integration and application, and provide strong support for scientific research in key directions and the implementation of major scientific and technological tasks.
On the other hand, the "Smart Chinese Academy of Sciences" special task is deployed and implemented to build an integrated intelligent scientific research management platform, create an integrated allocation center for innovative resource elements, a scientific and technological innovation activity command and dispatch center, and a scientific research management information collaborative integration center, build a scientific research "capability map" with comprehensive coverage, dynamic updates, and accurate portraits, and consolidate the data base and decision-making basis for intelligent scientific research organization management.
In addition to actively embracing artificial intelligence, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' "15th Five-Year Plan" also has distinctive features such as "focusing on strengthening the systematic research on scientific and technological innovation, gathering strong synergy to seize the commanding heights of science and technology", "focusing on the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, accelerating the cultivation and development of new productive forces", and "adhering to the integrated development of education, science and technology talents, and accelerating the creation of national strategic talent forces".
In terms of scientific and technological innovation layout, the Chinese Academy of Sciences focuses on important priority areas such as integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, life sciences and biotechnology, brain-computer interfaces, and controllable nuclear fusion; strategic high-tech fields such as optoelectronics, space, information, oceans, energy, and materials; sustainable development fields such as agriculture, earth and resources, atmosphere, oceans, and ecological environment; and basic cutting-edge intersecting fields such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and geosciences. It has condensed and formed a number of key development directions to strengthen the strategic, forward-looking, and systematic layout of scientific and technological innovation. (over)

Z.ai and Concordia AI released a report on open-weight AI risk management, offering what they describe as the first evidence-based foundation for balancing risks and benefits of user-modifiable AI models as Chinese developers grapple with safety concerns in the open-weight ecosystem.

The R&D and production shed factory at the Minxiong campus of the National Sun Yat-sen Academy of Sciences on the east side opened today, and the Minxiong Aerospace and UAV Industrial Park on the west side broke ground on the same day. It is expected to be completed in 2028. It will attract about 100 manufacturers and create 1,200 jobs. It will drive an annual output value of 8 billion yuan and strengthen Taiwan's UAV R&D, testing and production capacity.

The Harbin to Yichun high-speed railway was officially opened for operation on September 28. It is 318 kilometers long, has 9 stations, and has a maximum operating speed of 250 kilometers per hour. It is China's first high-speed railway that passes through the alpine island-shaped permafrost area. Suihua, Yichun and other cities are connected to China's high-speed rail network.

The Deyang base of Sinomach Heavy Equipment Group Co., Ltd. has completed the manufacturing and shipment of 8 batches of TF coil boxes for the world's first compact fusion energy experimental device BEST, marking an important improvement in my country's fusion equipment manufacturing capabilities. It will serve the construction of the BEST device and assist the implementation of the national controllable nuclear fusion strategy.

The Harbin to Yichun high-speed railway was officially opened for operation on the 28th. It has a total length of 318 kilometers, a design speed of 250 kilometers per hour, and nine stations. The fastest journey from Harbin to Yichun is 1 hour and 46 minutes, which is a significantly shorter travel time than the past 7 hours by train and 4 hours by car. This line is the northernmost high-speed railway in my country and the first high-speed railway in China that passes through the alpine island-shaped permafrost area. It connects the ecological scenic spots in the hinterland of Xiaoxing'anling to the high-speed railway network and promotes the development of forest health care, study experience, ice and snow tourism and other industries.

Google plans to launch an MVP satellite equipped with four AI chips on October 1 to test the feasibility of a space data center. However, the first test showed that the chips can only operate at full power for about 15 minutes before shutting down to cool down. The heat dissipation problem has become a key bottleneck in space computing, rather than the expected launch cost.
