Sichuan Province Launches Ambitious AI Development Plan (2024-2027)
In a bold move to become a key player in China’s dynamic AI sector, Sichuan province has released a comprehensive work plan for the growth of its AI industry from 2024 to 2027. This initiative marks a significant step towards establishing a robust AI ecosystem that emphasizes innovation and collaboration across varied sectors.
The plan sets audacious goals, including the creation of over 10 influential industry models, the achievement of more than 100 original and transformative technologies, and the expansion of AI technology enterprises to surpass 2,000. By 2027, the projected scale of the industry is expected to reach an overwhelming 200 billion RMB, alongside a total computing power exceeding 40,000 petaFLOPS.
Chengdu and Mianyang have been designated as the primary hubs for AI development. Meanwhile, Deyang and Suining have been included among 11 other areas targeted for collaborative growth, illustrating the provincial government’s commitment to fostering a connected AI landscape.
The work plan highlights eight critical areas of focus, which include technological innovation in AI, enhancement of computing power and data supply capabilities, the cultivation of large model clusters, and the advancement of intelligent robotics.
To drive forward this technological vision, the plan emphasizes the implementation of major AI projects aimed at developing advanced computing power, brain-like intelligence, and efficient robotics and drone systems.
The initiative not only seeks to promote significant industries such as intelligent manufacturing and disaster prevention but also aims to create widely applicable industry-specific models by nurturing a cluster of large models.
Complementing the ambitious objectives of this plan, Sichuan’s provincial science and technology department is collaborating with related institutions to develop the “AI Industry Chain Map of Sichuan Province.” This mapping endeavor will detail the foundational, technological, and application layers of the AI industry within Sichuan, outlining the key strengths and characteristics of major cities like Chengdu and Mianyang.
Moreover, the map will analyze various components, trends, and core technologies related to computing power, industry-specific large models, robots, and drones, providing a comprehensive overview of the evolving AI industry within the province.
