Shanghai promotes artificial intelligence to empower industrial service industry

China News Service, Shanghai, October 23 (Reporter Zheng Yingying) According to news released by the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission on the 23rd, the "Shanghai Action Plan to Accelerate the High-Quality Development of Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Industrial Service Industries (2027-2028)" (referred to as the "Action Plan") was recently issued.

The goal of the action plan is: by 2028, the penetration rate of artificial intelligence applications in Shanghai's industrial service industry will reach more than 85%, and strive to cultivate 10 unicorn companies with native digital intelligence. Shanghai plans to build five industry-level collaborative design platforms; focus on key areas such as high-end equipment and vehicle manufacturing to improve supply chain resilience and safety; promote 500 high-quality enterprises to build flexible manufacturing service systems and build Shanghai's advanced smart factories; popularize embedded quality inspection in key industries such as integrated circuits and new energy vehicles; and further enhance equipment predictive operation and maintenance service capabilities.

Shanghai plans to implement this action plan through a number of measures, including supporting companies to build model-driven product development and virtual pilot platforms, accelerating the development of platform-based design and generative design, and providing support of up to 10 million yuan.

In addition, at the 26th China International Industrial Expo held this month, the "Shanghai City Accelerates the Development of a New Generation of Intelligent Manufacturing Action" was also announced. By 2028, Shanghai plans to cultivate 500 advanced smart factories, achieve more than 2,000 application scenarios of artificial intelligence in the manufacturing industry, develop 10 advanced and applicable vertical large-scale models, launch 300 high-level intelligent agents, and build new infrastructure that meets the needs of the new generation of smart manufacturing. Shanghai will also promote the density of industrial robots to reach 600 units per 10,000 people, and promote the scale of the new intelligent manufacturing equipment industry empowered by artificial intelligence to exceed 200 billion yuan.
