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 Nicaragua booth consists of multiple themed areas such as cultural displays, tourism highlights, export commodities and national economic potential, allowing people to experience Nicaragua's unique customs and culture in an immersive way.
Tanzania showcased leather goods, wood carvings, oil paintings, and agricultural products, including honey which is a new product added to the export agreement recently signed with China.
"This time the company participating in the CIIE is increasing. We have 39 companies from Tanzania this time, so we display several projects. We display agricultural projects, we display minings, we display projects of our government," said Latifa M. Khamis, director general of the Tanzania Trade Development Authority.
The CIIE is the world's first national-level exhibition dedicated to imports. Running from Nov 5 to 10 under the theme of "New Era, Shared Future," the seventh CIIE has attracted participants from 152 countries, regions and international organizations to participate in its country exhibition and business exhibition.
