Beijing Municipal People's Government reported on May 30 that the Beijing Municipal People's Government issued the "Implementation Plan for Beijing to Accelerate the Construction of an Artificial Intelligence Innovation Source with Global Influence (2023-2025)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Plan"), proposing 16 key tasks from the five major directions of breaking through key technologies, consolidating the underlying foundation, building an industrial array, promoting scene construction, and building an innovation ecology.
This includes building an efficient and collaborative large-model technology industry ecosystem. Build an open source platform for large model algorithms and tools, build a complete technology innovation system for large models, and actively strive to become a national artificial intelligence open ecological technology innovation center. The plan proposes that by 2025, the scale of Beijing's artificial intelligence core industry will reach 300 billion yuan, continuing to maintain a growth of more than 10%, and the scale of the radiation industry will exceed 1 trillion yuan.
On the same day, the General Office of the Beijing Municipal People's Government issued "Several Measures to Promote the Innovation and Development of General Artificial Intelligence in Beijing", proposing 21 specific measures around five major directions, including "carrying out research on large model innovation algorithms and key technologies" and "strengthening the research and development of large model training data collection and governance tools", while expanding application scenarios in the fields of government services, medical treatment, scientific research, finance, autonomous driving, and urban governance, so as to seize the development opportunities of large models and promote innovation leadership in the field of general artificial intelligence.
Interpretation: At the beginning of this year, a large number of large models represented by ChatGPT emerged, and the AI industry ushered in a "highlight moment". At the plenary session of the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum, Robin Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, said that people are now at a new starting point, a new era of artificial intelligence with big models as the core, big models change artificial intelligence, and big models will change the world.
According to the "Chinese Intelligent Large Model Map Research Report" released by the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Research Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, according to incomplete statistics, so far, 79 large models with more than 1 billion parameters in China have been released, and 14 provinces/cities / regions are carrying out large model research and development, mainly concentrated in Beijing and Guangdong, including 38 in Beijing and 20 in Guangdong.
Beijing is currently considered to be the city with the most complete artificial intelligence industry chain in the country. Data show that as of October 2022, Beijing has 1,048 AI core enterprises, accounting for 29% of the total number of AI core enterprises in the mainland, ranking first in the country.
In order to seize the opportunity of large model development, Beijing has successively released big moves this month, and the "Several Measures to Promote the Innovation and Development of General Artificial Intelligence in Beijing (2023-2025) (Draft for Comments)" released on May 12 is considered to be the first special measure proposed by a local government in China to closely follow the industrialization of AI large models.
The "Implementation Plan" released this time also mentions that it is necessary to build an efficient and collaborative large-model technology industry ecology. Build an open source platform for large model algorithms and tools, and build a complete technology innovation system for large models. In the eyes of the outside world, as the "first AI city" Beijing takes action, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and other regions may also take action.

Expert from the think tank of the Health Commission: The weak support for one-child birth highlights the bias of local understanding of central policies
Recently, the 4th issue of Population and Health, a magazine hosted by the Chinese and Development Research Center, published an article entitled "Establishing a Fertility Support Policy System and Focusing on Strengthening One-Child Birth Support" written by He Dan, director of the Center, pointing out the importance of one-child fertility support policies.
The article mentioned that the weak support for one-child birth highlights the bias of local understanding of central policies. The central government's decision to optimize the birth policy and promote long-term balanced population development is simply understood as the "three-child policy", ignoring the fundamental goal of building a fertility support policy system. Some local policies focus on two-child and three-child incentives, and the support and guarantee for one-child birth are obviously lacking; Some local policies cover only the registered population, creating a new welfare dichotomy.
For example, a city provides a one-off subsidy of 5,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan to two-child and three-child families with household registration in the city, while new citizens and one-child families do not enjoy this policy. These policies may not only make it difficult to increase the willingness to have children, but also lead to policy fragmentation and inequality between children, which is not in line with the overall goal of promoting people-centered new urbanization and equalization of basic public services.
