On 31 July 2025,   the State Council of China reviewed and approved the Opinions on Deeply Implementing the “Artificial Intelligence Plus” Action Plan.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an important driving force in the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. As AI technologies continue to mature, the collaborative integration of AI with various industries is accelerating, and the concept of “AI Plus”(AI+) has gained wide recognition. This year’s government work report proposed to “continue advancing the “AI +” initiative, further combining digital technology with China’s manufacturing strengths and market advantages.”

The meeting pointed out that, as AI technologies are evolving and iterating rapidly, it is necessary to thoroughly implement the “AI+” initiative, vigorously promote the large-scale and commercialized application of AI, and give full play to China’s advantages of a complete industrial system, a vast market, and rich application scenarios. This will accelerate the popularization and deep integration of AI across all fields of economic and social development, forming a virtuous cycle in which innovation drives application. In turn, application fuels innovation.

“Deeply implementing the ‘AI+’ initiative and promoting the broad and in-depth integration of AI with various sectors will help transform and upgrade traditional industries, open up new tracks for strategic emerging industries and future industries, empower high-quality development, and enable all people to share the dividends of AI development,” said Xu Zhaoyuan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industrial Economy at the Development Research Center of the State Council.

Government departments and state-owned enterprises should strengthen their exemplary and leading roles, support the application of technologies through open scenarios, optimize the AI innovation ecosystem, enhance the supply of computing power, algorithms, and data, increase policy support, strengthen talent development, and build an open-source, open ecosystem to provide strong support for the growth of the industry… The meeting introduced multiple arrangements.

With the wide application of AI large models, generative AI, and other technologies across sectors, risks such as data bias and privacy leakage are also increasing. The meeting emphasized the need to improve security capabilities and accelerate the formation of a dynamic, agile, and multi-stakeholder collaborative governance framework for AI.

“The series of deployments made at the meeting are clear, pragmatic, and effective. They clarify the development path of the AI industry, precisely respond to market concerns, and release positive policy signals,” Xu Zhaoyuan noted.

SESEC will make deep analyses into the standardization activity for this initiative.
