0Erinome: Hello dear friends! Welcome to today’s podcast. Let’s talk about the latest big news—AI in China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030)! I’m Erinome.
Enceladus: Hi everyone, I’m Enceladus. Oh wow, AI is getting a huge upgrade, right? The plan says AI is no longer just a "technology option"—it’s now the core engine of new productive forces! That sounds really important!
Erinome: Exactly! Over the next five years, AI won’t just stay in labs. It will go into factories, cities, hospitals, and farms. Let’s start with the "brain core" of AI—basic theories and model algorithms.
Enceladus: The "brain core"? What’s that about?
Erinome: Oh, it’s about making AI smarter and more useful! Like, big model architecture innovation—so big models can run on phones or home appliances. And generative AI, you know? Text-to-text, text-to-image, text-to-video, and mixing different types. Also, embodied intelligence—so AI can sense, move, and make decisions by itself!
Enceladus: Oh right! Like robots that can actually do things, not just think. Then what about the "power heart" of AI?
Erinome: That’s the key hardware, software, and computing power base! Computing power is super important for AI. We need to make our own smart chips, edge computing chips. And build a national integrated computing network—upgrading the "East Data West Computing" project. Also, green and low-cost computing, so more companies can use AI easily.
Enceladus: Oh, so we need strong and cheap computing power. What about data? AI can’t work without data, right?
Erinome: You’re right! Data is like "nutritional原料" for AI. We need high-quality training datasets and industry-specific databases. Also, trusted data spaces—rules to use data properly. Then data and AI can work together to create value.
Enceladus: Cool! Any new tech areas where AI will mix with other fields?
Erinome: Yes! Frontier cross technologies—AI plus quantum tech to make computing power jump! AI plus biotech to speed up drug research and precision medicine. AI plus advanced manufacturing for smart factories and robots. Even AI plus space info and energy networks—so high-tech areas get smarter!
Enceladus: Wow, that’s a lot! Then the "AI+" action—what’s that? I heard there are nine big scenes that will change our lives!
Erinome: Oh yes! Nine scenes, let’s talk about some. First, smart manufacturing: factories become "AI self-running systems"! No more lots of people. Industrial big models optimize production, predict machine problems. Dark factories (no lights needed) and unmanned workshops will be common.
Enceladus: Dark factories? That sounds like something from a sci-fi movie! What about transportation?
Erinome: Smart transportation! Self-driving taxis, buses, delivery vehicles running normally. The car-road-cloud system connects traffic lights, roads, and cars in real time. Smart highways can avoid accidents and let cars drive in groups. Ports and mines will use unmanned trucks—no people needed!
Enceladus: That would make traffic safer and faster. What about farming? I never thought AI could help with farming.
Erinome: Oh, smart agriculture is so cool! AI is the new "farming tool". Satellites, drones, and sensors check crops everywhere. AI does precise watering, fertilizing, and spraying—saves over 30% waste! Smart machines plant, harvest, and pull weeds by themselves. Even AI can spot plant diseases in seconds!
Enceladus: That’s amazing! Farming becomes a high-tech job now. What about healthcare?
Erinome: Smart healthcare! AI is doctors' "super helper". It can quickly check lung cancer, breast cancer, and eye diseases from medical images. AI helps doctors diagnose common and rare diseases. It even shortens drug research time and cuts costs. Surgery robots with AI do very precise small operations!
Enceladus: Oh, that can help areas with few doctors. What about education?
Erinome: Smart education—"teach students in different ways"! No more same classes for everyone. AI finds students' weak points, makes personal study plans. Virtual teachers and AI assistants answer questions 24/7. Even remote areas can share top education resources with AI!
Enceladus: That’s great for students. Any other scenes?
Erinome: Oh, digital government—cities have "smart brains"! One online platform for government services, so you don’t need to run around. The city management system connects emergency, city management, environment, and traffic to solve problems fast. Smart security warns of risks and disasters.
Enceladus: So government work becomes faster. What about finance?
