January 29th news, yesterdayXinhuaChina 2026 AI Looking ahead, China’s artificial intelligence industry will be undergoing profound change this year in many dimensions, including technology paradigms, computing systems, data elements, industrial applications, and governance systems。
According to the article, with the end of the "Chat" paradigm, with dialogue at its core, industrial competition is accelerating towards "workable"AgentTIMES, AI IS MOVING FROM LINGUISTIC INTELLIGENCE TO THE INTEGRATION OF PHYSICAL INTELLIGENCE WITH BIO-INTELLIGENCE。
IN 2025, THE NUMBER OF CHINESE AI ENTERPRISES HAD EXCEEDED 6000, AND AI CORE INDUSTRIES HAD SURPASSED 1.2 TRILLION YUAN, AN INCREASE OF NEARLY 301 TP3T OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR
GLOBAL CUMULATIVE DOWNLOADS OF LARGE OPEN-SOURCE MODELS FROM CHINA EXCEEDED 10 BILLION, AND CHINA HAS A GLOBAL SHARE OF AI PATENTS OF 60%
As we enter this year, technological breakthroughs deepen in tandem with the scenes, and the industry moves from "scramble" to "scramble density" and algorithm efficiency becomes central competitiveness。
Algorithm will be the key to future breakthroughs:
ACCORDING TO EXPERTS, AI WILL EVOLVE FROM A "SPOKEN DICTIONARY" TO A "MANAGER WHO CAN WORK ON HIS OWN." THE BREAKTHROUGH OF THE SMART MODEL MEANS THAT AI HAS THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND AND IMPLEMENT THE PHYSICAL WORLD MISSION。
IN TERMS OF COMPUTING, THERE ARE 42 VANKA CHILE CALCULUS IN THE COUNTRY, WITH AN INTELLIGENT CALCULUS OF OVER 1590 EFLOPS. THE EAST AND WEST COUNT PROJECT, WHICH FORMS EIGHT MAJOR HUBS, 10 DATA CENTRE CLUSTERS, IS MOVING TOWARDS HIGH DENSITY, SCALE, GREENING。
Within industry, it is expected that the million-calories cluster will be the infrastructure that will support the training of the hundreds of billion parameter models. As the National Integrated Calculator Network moves forward, it will be a key capability to synchronize power and power。
Data elements became the new focus of competition:
As model training enters deep water, the industry shifts from pile to quality, and demand for high-quality industry data sets surges。
The National Data Bureau has multiple layout data labelling bases, and by the third quarter of last year more than 500 industry high-quality data sets have been developed. Data are marked by a shift from labour-intensive to knowledge-intensive, and professional data in such areas as health, industry and transport are key resources for enhancing industry model performance。
AI ACCELERATED INFILTRATION IN MANUFACTURING, MEDICAL, TRANSPORT, ETC.:
Between 2025 and the end of last year, China ' s average daily Token consumption increased from 100 billion to 30 trillion, and the share of business use rose rapidly。
AI APPLICATIONS IN MANUFACTURING EXTEND FROM R & D, OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT TO CORE PRODUCTION, WITH AUTOMOBILES, ELECTRONICS, ROBOTICS, ETC. BENEFITING FIRST. IN 2027, THE MINISTRY OF INDUSTRY AND COMMUNICATIONS PROPOSED THE PROMOTION OF 500 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS TO PROMOTE A LARGE-SCALE MODEL SYSTEM FOR THE INDUSTRY。
IN THE AREA OF SOCIAL GOVERNANCE AND CONSUMPTION, AI IS RESHAPING PUBLIC SERVICES, URBAN GOVERNANCE AND CONSUMPTION EXPERIENCES:
FROM THE URBAN BRAIN TO THE INTELLIGENT MONITORING SYSTEM, TO AI, WHICH LEADS TO A CAR-BORNE VOICE ORDER, AI IS MOVING FROM "TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE" TO "SOCIAL NEEDS". IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION, THE TRANSITION IS ALSO ACCELERATING, WITH AI AUXILIARY TEACHING DRIVING COMPLEX SKILLS INTO CORE COMPETITIVENESS。
AT THE SAME TIME, AI SECURITY RISKS RAISE GLOBAL CONCERNS:
The issues of false information, in-depth forgery, and escape attacks are highlighted. A multi-tiered governance framework is being built through laws and regulations, industry standards and a security certification system. Policies such as the Interim Approach to the Management of Artificially Intelligent Interactive Services (Advisory Draft) reflect regulatory adaptability and forward looking。
ACCORDING TO EXPERTS, AI IS A CENTRAL FORCE DRIVING NEW QUALITY PRODUCTIVITY AND A KEY VARIABLE INFLUENCING THE WAY SOCIETIES OPERATE IN THE FUTURE. STRENGTHENING SECURITY GOVERNANCE WHILE ACCELERATING INNOVATION WILL BE AN IMPORTANT THEME FOR CHINA’S AI DEVELOPMENT THIS YEAR。
