Chen Jining, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, attended the meeting and pointed out in his speech that it is necessary to deeply study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech on his inspection of Shanghai, firmly grasp the opportunities of artificial intelligence development, focus on long-term development, optimize the strategic layout, consolidate the development foundation, gather top talents, adhere to openness and collaboration, deepen reform and innovation, focus on key breakthroughs, strengthen governance security, continuously enhance core competitiveness, and accelerate the construction of a more internationally influential artificial intelligence "Shanghai Highland".
Gong Zheng, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of the city, attended the meeting and delivered a welcome speech.
At the meeting, Pan Yunhe, Shen Xiangyang, Wang Haifeng, Xie Tao, Yao Zhizhi, Huang Xiaoqing, Yu Jingyi, Tang Xiaoou, E Weinan, Ma Changshan, Wang Guoyu, Gao Wen, Pu Muming, Zhang Xu, Zhang Cymbal, He Jifeng, Hu Yu, Mao Junfa, Qu Daokui, Zhu Long, Wu Yunsheng, Xu Lei, Fact, Chen Tianshi, Dang Wenshuo, Feng Jianfeng and other experts spoke successively, focusing on the development of key technologies of large models for general artificial intelligence, embodied intelligence and general intelligent robot development trends, Topics such as building an open and safe general artificial intelligence innovation ecosystem and talent development environment were exchanged and discussed, and targeted countermeasures and suggestions were put forward. Municipal leaders listened carefully to the records, discussed in-depth discussions with participating experts, discussed the development trend of artificial intelligence, and jointly studied the breakthrough direction of the leading industry. Chen Jining said that Shanghai's artificial intelligence from partial exploration to overall promotion, from pilot application to empowering hundreds of industries, from gathering wisdom to attracting talents, is inseparable from the positive contributions of experts, thank you for providing high-quality consulting suggestions, promoting the landing of high-level projects, and promoting high-efficiency science and technology governance. Relevant departments should carefully study and absorb everyone's opinions and suggestions, improve the implementation mechanism of consultation suggestions, and timely translate them into pragmatic actions to help Shanghai achieve greater development of artificial intelligence.
Chen Jining pointed out that at present, the rapid development of artificial intelligence is profoundly affecting all fields of production and life in human society. We must maintain strategic concentration, focus on long-term development, strengthen forward-looking research and judgment, deepen basic research, improve basic capabilities, do a good job in algorithm innovation, computing power construction, and data collection, accelerate the construction of independent intelligent computing ecology, and concentrate on the development of artificial intelligence models. Vigorously create a good atmosphere for gathering talents from all over the world and use them, and accelerate the introduction and cultivation of a group of top-notch innovative talents and urgently needed talents. Adhere to open collaboration, build an open platform, promote open cooperation, and better build an open source ecosystem, innovation ecology, and industrial ecology. Persist in deepening reform, unify the technical, market and governance logic of artificial intelligence development, deepen the reform of scientific and technological systems and mechanisms, innovate scientific research management models, and improve policy support systems. Adhere to key breakthroughs, pay close attention to the maturity of cutting-edge technology and the focus of industrial development, and dynamically optimize and improve the key points and breakthrough directions. Actively explore the application practice of general artificial intelligence in vertical fields such as advanced manufacturing and urban management, and accelerate the development of embodied intelligence and robot industries. Adhere to governance security, strengthen safety supervision and value assessment, and continue to explore and take the forefront in AI governance and application standards and specifications.
Gong Zheng said in his speech that Shanghai should firmly grasp the wave of new scientific and technological revolutions such as artificial intelligence, accelerate the leapfrog development of science and technology, industrial optimization and upgrading, and the overall leap of productivity, so as to inject surging impetus into the construction of a socialist modern international metropolis with world influence. Experts are deeply involved in the construction of artificial intelligence "Shanghai Highland", actively taking the pulse of Shanghai to build a world-class industrial cluster, providing suggestions, and bringing ideological inspiration and useful reference. We will continue to create better conditions and provide better services for experts to participate in the development of artificial intelligence in Shanghai, and jointly draw a more exciting and exciting picture of the future of artificial intelligence.
City leaders Zhang Wei and Li Zheng attended the meeting, and Liu Duo presided over the meeting.
