Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has become a core driving force in advancing new industrialization which, in turn, could propel AI to achieve further breakthroughs, said the experts at a sub-forum of the Hongqiao International Economic Forum in Shanghai on Tuesday.

At the sub-forum on AI empowering new industrialization, experts from both home and abroad shared their insights on the role of AI in advancing new industrialization.

They believe that the integration of AI with advanced manufacturing technologies is bringing significant transformations to the methods and practices within the manufacturing sector.

According to the attendees, AI technology has the potential to push for industrial transformation, stimulate economic growth, and improve people's quality of life.

"While AI has become a driving force, it still needs to overcome technological challenges to meet the many demands of the industrial sector. The relationship between the two is mutually reinforcing: the challenges presented by the industrial sector will drive the development of AI, and in turn, AI advancements will further propel industrialization," said Gong Ke, executive director of the Chinese Institute of New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Strategies.

The Hongqiao International Economic Forum is being held concurrently with the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE) which runs from Nov 5 to 10.

The 2024 Innovation Conference kicked off in east China's Shanghai Municipality on Thursday with the launch of a new lab targeting the responsible use of artificial intelligence.

Experts and scholars from renowned universities and research institutions, along with leaders from technology companies and financial institutions gathered to discuss prospective applications in artificial intelligence, biomedicine and other areas.

At the opening ceremony, an artificial intelligence technology and governance innovation laboratory, jointly established by China Media Group (CMG) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was launched.

The laboratory will focus on exploring the innovative applications of "responsible AI" technology, as well as the innovation and reform of AI governance systems and mechanisms.

CMG has also launched a new round of strategic cooperation with the three major Chinese wireless carriers, China Telecom, China Unicom, and China Mobile, to deepen the integrated development of ultra-high-definition (UHD) video on both large and small screens.

A batch of independent innovative technological achievements in 8K ultra-high-definition (UHD) shooting, production, broadcasting, and transmission were released.

The White Paper on Science and Technology Innovation 2024 was also released.

Other sub-forums on fields such as financial innovation, large models, application of technology achievements, biomedicine, and the low-altitude economy are set to be held.
