How to give birth to original breakthroughs, industrial remodeling, and new quality productivity?
New quality productivity refers to a new production mode supported by high technology, characterized by high efficiency, and pursued by high quality. It is different from the traditional form of productive forces dominated by resources and labor, and represents the highest level of development of productive forces. The emergence of new quality productivity will completely change the production and lifestyle of human beings and open a new era.
Scientific and technological innovation promotes the development of new quality productive forces, which is an inherent and inevitable logic. The productive forces determine the relations of production, and the relations of production react on the productive forces, which in turn is the basic theory of Marxist political economy. Science and technology are productive forces and the fundamental driving force for the development of productive forces. Historically, every major scientific and technological innovation has triggered a leap in productivity, thereby promoting profound changes in social production relations and superstructure.
The invention of the steam engine gave birth to the arrival of the industrial revolution, which made human society move from an agricultural society to an industrial society. The widespread use of electricity and internal combustion engines has promoted the advent of the sub-industrial revolution, and productivity has been greatly developed. After entering the 20th century, the rise of information technology triggered the sub-industrial revolution, and the productivity once again achieved a qualitative leap.
Nowadays, a new round of scientific and technological revolution represented by artificial intelligence, quantum information, biotechnology, etc. is coming. The breakthrough and application of these cutting-edge technologies will inevitably give birth to new quality productive forces, thereby promoting profound changes in production relations and social systems. Scientific and technological innovation is the fundamental driving force for the development of new productive forces and the key force for promoting social progress.
The development of new quality productive forces is inseparable from the breakthroughs and applications of scientific and technological innovation in various fields. In the field of artificial intelligence, the "Wukong" large model independently developed by mainland China has achieved excellent performance in many scenarios such as speech recognition and image recognition, laying the foundation for promoting the development of intelligent manufacturing and smart cities.
As a new generation of computing platform, quantum computers will greatly improve the computing efficiency of complex problems due to their powerful parallel computing capabilities, and have broad application prospects in the fields of cryptography, materials design, and drug discovery. Mainland scientists have made important progress in quantum computing principles and quantum algorithms, which have made theoretical reserves for the industrialization of quantum computing.
Biotechnology is a sunrise industry that can be expected in the future. The development of emerging technologies such as gene editing and cell therapy will provide new solutions for the treatment of difficult diseases. Biotechnology also has a great future in agriculture, energy and other fields, and is expected to promote the development of biomass energy, biopesticides and other industries.
In order to give full play to the core role of scientific and technological innovation in the development of new quality productive forces, the key lies in strengthening top-level design, improving institutional mechanisms, and optimizing the policy environment. On the one hand, it is necessary to deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system, give scientific research personnel greater autonomy in the technical route and the right to use funds, and enhance the vitality of innovation. On the other hand, it is necessary to increase financial investment in scientific research to provide strong support for basic research and original innovation.
We should also pay attention to cultivating high-level innovative talents and building a large-scale team of scientific and technological talents. It is necessary to improve the personnel training mechanism, optimize the environment for the development of talent, and create good conditions for scientific and technological personnel to display their talents. It is also necessary to strengthen international cooperation in science and technology, actively absorb and digest advanced foreign technology, and narrow the gap with developed countries.
