Acceleratingthe development of a new generation of AI is an important strategic starting point to win the initiative inglobal science and technology competition, and an important strategic resource to promote the leapfrogdevelopment of China's science and technology, industrial optimization and upgrading, and the overall leapin productivity. Based on the current situation of China's AI development, this paper analyzes the currentdevelopment trend of China's AI, and puts forward policies and measures for the development of China's AIin the new eraKeywords: AI; Industrial Development; Industrial Upgrading; Scientific and Technological Revolution1. IntroductionSince the concept of AI was proposed in 1956, it has experienced more than 60 years of ups anddowns. In recent years, with the maturity of big data, cloud computing, Internet and other technologies, theapplication of AI has been rapidly promoted. The emergence of AlphaGo, GoPro sports cameras, driverlesscars and other products indicates that AI is changing the traditional way of life of human beings. The birthof the event that the orthopedic surgical robot "Tianji" has completed simulated surgery, lights off operationof industrial robots and other events means that AI will also have a profound impact on manufacturing,finance, medicine, agriculture and other industries, and will rapidly promote the transformation andupgrading of the global industrial structure. However, the development of AI still faces many problems andchallenges, such as what is the development trend of AI in the future? What impact will the promotion ofAI have on China's industrial development? What weaknesses does China's AI development still face andhow to deal with them? The solution of these problems is a necessary condition for China to smoothlypromote the development of AI.2. The current status of China's AI developmentSince the Chinese government incorporated AI into its national strategy in 2017 and granted morefavorable policies, China's AI development has made gratifying achievements and demonstrated its-176- Electronics Science Technology and Applicationadvantages in many aspects. According to China AI Development Report 2018, China currently ranksamong the top in the world in terms of scientific and technological output indexes of AI. Among them, thetotal number of papers published and cited with AI as the theme is the first in the world. The number ofpatents also leads the United States and Japan. The number of AI related enterprises ranks second in theworld. The scale of investment and financing in the field of AI is the largest, accounting for 60% of theglobal total. In addition, China's large population base and rich data resources also provide reliable datasupport for China's AI. However, China's supercomputers have a fast computing speed, providingcomputing support for the development of AI technology, and laying a foundation for China's AI to occupya leading position.Although China has entered the international leading ranks in the development of AI, and has occupiedmany advantages and achieved good results, it is undeniable that there are still shortcomings in thedevelopment of AI in China.First of all, from the perspective of development direction, at present, the advantages and R&Dstrength of China's AI mainly lie in market applications, such as the R&D of intelligent robots, unmannedaerial vehicles and other terminal products, while the control ability of core technologies, such as IoTdevices and algorithms, is still weak. This weakness means that China's AI development foundation is stillnot solid, and it may rely on other countries in the long-term global AI competition.Second, from the perspective of research subjects, the knowledge output of China's AI still largelystays in universities and research institutions. Even for domestic technology giants such as Baidu, Tencentand Alibaba, their AI papers and patent applications are still not comparable to those of foreign leadingenterprises.Third, from the perspective of talent structure, there is a mismatch between the quantity and quality ofChinese AI talents. The total number of AI talents in China currently ranks the second in the world, but theproportion of outstanding talents is low. The gap between the top AI technical talents and developedcountries such as the United States is still very obvious.Fourth, from the perspective of the construction of laws and regulations, the negative problemsassociated with the development of AI have not yet been regulated by the legal system. At present, localgovernments in China actively support the development of AI and provide a favorable policy and talentsupply environment. However, in general, their main focus is still on technological progress and industrialapplication, and they have not paid enough attention to the negative problems that AI may bring, such asethics and safe operation.3. Policies and measures for the development of China's AI in thenew eraAccording to the Development Plan for the New Generation of AI, China's AI development strategy isdivided into three major steps: the first step is to synchronize the overall technology and application of AIwith the world's advanced level by 2020. The second step is to achieve a major breakthrough in the basictheory of AI by 2025, with some technologies and applications reaching the world's leading level. Third, by2030, the theory, technology and application of AI will have reached the world's leading level, and becomeVolume 9 Issue 4 -177-the world's major AI innovation center.First, in terms of theoretical and technological breakthroughs, we should initially establish a newgeneration of AI theory and technology system, and make breakthroughs in the research of autonomousintelligence. Compared with developed countries, China still has a gap in the core theory and technology ofAI. Therefore, in the new era, we should pay more attention to the breakthrough and control of key coretechnologies, and attach importance to the original research of strengthening the foundation. The frontierbasic theory of AI is the cornerstone of AI technology breakthrough, industry innovation andindustrialization promotion. Facing the critical point of development, we must make major breakthroughsin the basic theories and cutting-edge technologies of AI in order to gain the ultimate say.Secondly, in terms of industrial development, China's AI industry should be promoted to the top of theglobal value chain. The new generation of AI should be widely used in intelligent manufacturing,intelligent medical treatment, smart cities, intelligent agriculture, national defense construction and otherfields. The emerging model of "AI+" has become increasingly mature with the development of technology,which will have a disruptive impact on China's industrial structure and accelerate the arrival of an inclusiveintelligent society. Driven by the demand of industrial applications, it is necessary to break the perceptionbottleneck, interaction bottleneck and decision-making bottleneck of AI, promote the integration andimprovement of AI technology and all sectors of society, and further optimize industrial upgrading.Third, in terms of policy system, it is necessary to initially establish laws and regulations, ethicalnorms and policy system of AI, and form AI security assessment and control capabilities.AI has a wide range of impacts and strong subversion. The resulting problems, such as changing theemployment structure, impacting the law and social ethics, violating personal privacy, and challenging thenorms of international relations, will gradually emerge, and have a profound impact on governmentmanagement, economic security, social stability, and even global governance. Therefore, while continuingto vigorously develop AI in the future, China must attach great importance to the potential security riskchallenges, strengthen forward-looking prevention and restraint guidance, minimize risks, and ensure thesafe, reliable and controllable development of AI.References[1] Dai KZ, Wu TL, Pan AM.
