AI expected to play bigger role in bolstering high-quality development

With next-generation artificial intelligence booming around the world, the technology will play a bigger role in fueling industrial upgrade, carbon reduction and high-quality development in China, speakers said at the 19th Vision China event.

Jointly organized by China Daily and the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Tianjin Municipal Committee, the event, titled "New Era of Intelligence: Empowering New Development, Fostering New Pattern", was broadcast online to a global audience on Thursday night. It coincided with the ongoing 5th World Intelligence Congress, an event that started on the same day and runs until Sunday in Tianjin.

The congress, which features both online and offline activities this year, has grown to become a new gateway to China, showcasing the country's readiness to cooperate with the world, said Chen Zhemin, a member of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China Tianjin Municipal Committee and head of the committee's Publicity Department.
