CCTV News:This year’s "Government Work Report" proposes to "vigorously promote the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerate the development of new quality productive forces", which was written into the "Government Work Report" for the first time and was listed as the first of the top ten tasks in 2024. Artificial intelligence is an important engine for developing new quality productivity. How is the development of artificial intelligence technology and industry in China? On April 13th, Foreign Trade Watch will take you to learn how China’s artificial intelligence technology can help the high-quality development of foreign trade.
Recently, merchants in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province have been "out of the circle". They have become language experts in the video and skillfully switched languages to introduce their own businesses. In Yiwu International Trade City, more and more merchants have become multilingual masters through artificial intelligence technology to communicate with foreign businessmen without barriers.
Many foreign merchants saw Zhang Jiying’s AI short video and took the initiative to find her to talk about business.
With the help of artificial intelligence technology, merchants only need to record a Chinese video and upload it to the platform, which will soon be automatically converted into 36 foreign language versions, and the mouth shape in the picture will be adjusted according to the pronunciation when outputting. The popularization and application of digital technology not only enhanced the international popularity of Yiwu merchants, but also profoundly changed their business model.
With the help of artificial intelligence technology, Fu Jiangyan’s trading partners have expanded from South America and Africa to the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Europe. At present, busyness has become the norm, and orders have been placed in July.
Fu Jiangyan, a business owner of Yiwu International Trade City, said: "There will be many such unexpected orders. After the video is sent out, I often sell out all the goods directly because of a video."
According to statistics, since the artificial intelligence platform was officially launched in March last year, more than 10,000 merchants have tried to use artificial intelligence tools to assist their operations, accounting for 20% of the merchants in the entire Yiwu market.
Technology going to sea China program serves the whole world
In recent years, the technological innovation achievements in the field of artificial intelligence in China have gradually moved from laboratory to industrial practice, and the industrialization process of artificial intelligence has been accelerating. In Qianhai, Shenzhen, artificial intelligence enterprises have formed demonstration application scenarios in the fields of finance, manufacturing, logistics and cultural creation. While helping to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity, the domestic artificial intelligence technology service is also affecting the lives of foreign people.
This space picture of the Earth and the Milky Way in the same frame was completed by this domestic panorama camera in the hands of the reporter. This camera has two fisheye lenses, and through a special algorithm, multiple videos can be seamlessly spliced together to finally form a complete and continuous full-motion video.
This specialized and new "Little Giant" enterprise in Qianhai, Shenzhen, innovatively realized the immersive experience of "the first view of the satellite" through the self-developed artificial intelligence image processing technology and satellite carrying. Panorama camera produced by this enterprise has been sold to more than 200 countries and regions around the world, with a global market share of over 50%, which is deeply loved by domestic and foreign consumers.
While improving the quality of human life, artificial intelligence is increasingly applied to our daily life.
In January of this year, this artificial intelligence enterprise opened the first commercial charging operation service for driverless taxis in the central city; Up to now, the company has accumulated more than 31 million kilometers of self-driving road test mileage, of which unmanned self-driving test mileage exceeds 3 million kilometers. At present, the company’s autonomous driving technology has been applied in Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Luxemburg and other countries and regions, making China’s artificial intelligence scheme better serve the world.
On the first working day of this year, in view of the key points and difficulties in the development of artificial intelligence, Shenzhen Qianhai issued the "No.1 Document" and "Several Measures to Support the High-quality Development and High-level Application of Artificial Intelligence" to create a pioneer area of artificial intelligence.
By the end of last year, the number of artificial intelligence enterprises in Shenzhen Qianhai Cooperation Zone had reached 289. It took less than 14 years for Qianhai to develop from a beach to a new center of modern city development, and the endogenous driving force supporting the high-quality development and rapid development of this area is institutional innovation and scientific and technological innovation.
Science and technology empowerment activates new kinetic energy of industrial development
According to the data released by the General Administration of Customs on April 12, in the first quarter of this year, China’s electric manned vehicles, lithium batteries and solar cells, commonly known as the "new three kinds", exported a total of 264.69 billion yuan, up 66.9% year-on-year, accounting for the proportion of China’s exports increased by 1.7 percentage points year-on-year to 4.7%. Today’s artificial intelligence technology has helped China’s new energy products open up a broader market.
There are many kinds of electronic consumer products in China, but due to the complex structure of multi-surface, multi-point and small volume, quality inspection is difficult. An artificial intelligence enterprise in Shenzhen has specially designed and developed an all-in-one inspection machine. Through a special artificial intelligence algorithm, it can carry out 360-degree appearance defect inspection of complex electronic consumer goods without dead ends. One device is equivalent to 20 professional quality inspectors.
In addition to being used in the consumer electronics industry, the artificial intelligence equipment developed by this company is also widely used in the field of new energy. Blue film coating is an important process in power battery manufacturing. However, in the aspect of appearance inspection, the degree of automation is low, and problems such as missed inspection and false inspection are prone to occur, which will lead to many complaints from users. In response to this industry problem, in June last year, the artificial intelligence team specially developed an intelligent device for six-sided appearance inspection of battery blue film. At present, this smart device has been applied to many new energy battery manufacturing workshops in different cities in China.
This intelligent manufacturing enterprise, which was established less than five years ago, also released the world’s first industrial multi-modal large model in November last year, continuously transforming rich data energy into technical assistance for new industrialization and into new kinetic energy for high-quality development of the real economy.
The artificial intelligence technology of this intelligent manufacturing enterprise has served more than 200 head enterprises around the world. According to the data released by China Information and Communication Research Institute and CCID Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the scale of China’s artificial intelligence core industry reached 578.4 billion yuan in 2023, with a growth rate of 13.9%. The enterprise adoption rate of generative artificial intelligence in China has reached 15%, and the market scale is about 14.4 trillion yuan.
Zhang Shenghao, head of the Business Reform Section of the Comprehensive Business Department of Shenzhen Customs, said that in the first quarter, the import and export of national enterprises through the ports in Qianhai Cooperation Zone was 503.24 billion yuan, a record high in the same period, with a year-on-year increase of 13.2%. Among them, exports amounted to 425.24 billion yuan, up 15.9% year-on-year, which continuously injected new momentum into Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’s high-quality economic development and high-level opening up.
