The latest statistics show that as of the end of May, there are already more than a dozen planned high-performance computer cluster intelligent computing centers across the country, with intelligent computing power accounting for more than 30% of the total national computing power, reflecting the continuous optimization and improvement of China's computing power structure.

Minister of Industry and Information Technology Shan Zhongde said at the meeting: "At present, our country has cultivated 421 national-level intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories and the number of artificial intelligence enterprises has exceeded 4,500. Not only does our country rank second in the world in terms of computing power scale, but we have also promoted the formulation of 48 international standards related to intelligent manufacturing, making significant contributions to the global development of the artificial intelligence industry ecosystem."

Shan Zhongde further pointed out that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will strengthen cooperation from four aspects: strengthen open cooperation, promote industrial innovation, consolidate the industrial foundation, and accelerate the implementation of applications. This indicates that China will continue to increase investment in intelligent manufacturing and artificial intelligence fields, driving industrial upgrading and technological innovation.

The rapid development of China in the fields of intelligent manufacturing and artificial intelligence not only provides a strong driving force for the domestic economic transformation and upgrading but also contributes Chinese wisdom and solutions to the global development of the artificial intelligence industry. With the continuous expansion of computing power scale and the formulation of international standards, China's influence in the global scientific and technological field will further increase.
