From factories to fields, from stage to competition, artificial intelligence is accelerating from laboratories to various application scenarios. The development of artificial intelligence is changing with each passing day, but it is still in its infancy overall, and it is very necessary to "stretch out your hand and help." During the 20th collective study of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that as a new technology and new field, policy support is very important.

  As a strategic technology leading the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence has shown its strengths in promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and has also spawned a large number of new industries, new business forms and new models. Many regions are stepping up their layout, and have issued plans for the development of artificial intelligence industry, established industrial support funds, and created innovation demonstration zones to provide practical policy support for the development of artificial intelligence.

  In the multi-point and prosperous development situation, it should also be seen that my country's artificial intelligence still faces many bottlenecks and difficulties in terms of technological research, transformation of results and application implementation. To support the development of artificial intelligence with policy support, we need to optimize policy supply in a targeted manner and promote the development of artificial intelligence to a new level.

  Artificial intelligence is a pioneering undertaking, and every step of exploration requires sufficient funds to ensure it, and financial and other policy support is indispensable. Start-ups in the field of artificial intelligence account for a high proportion, with large investment in R&D funds and long cycles, and are facing problems such as difficulty and high cost of financing. To do a good job in science and technology finance, we must use financial vitality to nourish the growth of artificial intelligence innovation entities. A comprehensive and multi-level technology and financial service system including bank credit, bond market, stock market, etc. is built, and financial institutions are encouraged and guided to "invest early, small, and technology" to accompany innovative entities through the economic cycle and continue to grow and grow.

  Artificial intelligence is a young cause and a young person's career, and talent cultivation is crucial. At present, my country's artificial intelligence development is still facing the problem of structural talent shortage. We should target the needs of innovation and industrial development, attract and retain talents with a good working environment and development space, cultivate talents with a mechanism of integration of industry, education, research and application, and inspire talents with a scientific and flexible evaluation mechanism and social honors. Take multiple measures to forge a team of high-quality talents to promote breakthroughs in artificial intelligence technology innovation and rapid industrial development.

  Supporting the development of artificial intelligence with good policies is the focus on implementation. Relevant departments should enhance their service concepts, consider implementation details in a coordinated manner from the policy formulation process, actively ask companies for their needs during the implementation of policies, and adjust and optimize them in a timely manner according to actual changes to escort the steady and long-term development of artificial intelligence.
