Wan Gang: Our country is demonstrating major projects in the field of artificial intelligence

The Press Center of the 5th Session of the 12th National People's Congress will hold a press conference at the Multipurpose Hall of the Center of Media in March at the 15th of March (Saturday) to invite Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang and Secretary-General Xu Jianpei to discuss the "2016 Innovation Driven Development Strategy". Issues related to the implementation progress and key work in 2017,” answered questions from Chinese and foreign reporters. The picture shows the Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang. The Press Center of the 5th Session of the 12th National People's Congress is scheduled to be held on March 11 (Saturday) at 15:00 in the multi-purpose hall of the Media Center to invite the Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang and the Secretary-General Xu Jianpei to discuss “2016 Innovation Driven Development Strategy”. Issues related to the implementation progress and key work in 2017,” answered questions from Chinese and foreign reporters. [Media]: At the National Science and Technology Work Conference earlier this year, you mentioned that China's scientific and technological innovation 2030 - major project selection and determination has been concise and formed 15 project proposals and approved by the Central Committee, including quantum communication and quantum computers, and brain science. The preparation of implementation plans for four projects such as brain-based research was fully started. I would like to ask Minister Wan. What are the main considerations for the selection and layout of technological innovation 2030-major projects? Many representatives and members of related fields are very concerned about when these projects will be formally launched. Thank you. [Wan Gang]: In accordance with the requirements of the Outline of the National Innovation-Driven Development Strategy and the National Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, China must deploy a number of major science and technology projects and major projects that are closely related to the long-term development of the national strategy and people’s lives in 2030. , It will form a systematic layout with far and near integration and successive succession of major national science and technology projects that will be implemented in 2006. Major special projects and technological innovation 2030-major projects, both of which are relevant in the distribution of the fields, mainly in the five major fields of electronic information, advanced manufacturing, energy environment, biological health, and the maritime sky. The selection reflects the strategic importance and major Key, forward-looking, practical and other basic principles. The implementation of the 16 major projects will be completed by 2020. The 2030- major technological innovation projects for future deployment will start from 2016 and the implementation period will reach 2030. The two are also linked in time. I would like to take this opportunity to brief you on the situation. In the field of electronic information, major projects that began in 2006 include core devices, high-end chips and basic software, very large scale integrated circuits, and new generation wireless broadband mobile communications. This time for 2030, we have deployed four major projects: Quantum Communication and Quantum Computing, Cyberspace Security, World-Wide Integration Information Network, and Big Data. As you can see, the project deployment has a convergence and reflects the current direction of technological development. In the field of advanced manufacturing, there are two major special projects for high-end CNC machine tools and large aircraft. This time, it has also deployed three major projects: aero-engines and gas turbines, intelligent manufacturing and robotics, and key new materials. The Prime Minister also made special mention of key new materials in the government work report. At the same time, we also implemented a dynamic adjustment mechanism for major projects of technological innovation-2030. It will take some time for the implementation of the plan. Scientific and technological innovation itself has developed rapidly. There are some new technologies that need to be tracked and deployed ahead of schedule. For example, after 60 years of accumulation, artificial intelligence has made significant progress in deep learning, cross-border integration, human-computer collaboration, and group intelligence since last year. In the field of artificial intelligence, we are conducting an argument. This also needs to thank the deputies of the National People's Congress and the members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for their very good suggestions. We also express our gratitude here. Judging from the effect of the implementation, during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, 10 major projects of the Minkou Municipal Government invested 76.9 billion yuan in the central government, and the local government invested 100.8 billion yuan in local investment, which directly brought in 1.42 trillion yuan of new output value. Taxes are 130 billion yuan. More importantly, the companies undertaking the project and institutions of higher learning have obtained more than 11,000 authorized patents and 8,478 technical standards. Nearly 240,000 scientific and technical personnel have participated in project implementation in various ways. We have established a nationwide system that integrates the wisdom and strength of all parties under market economy conditions to implement major projects, provide support for the country’s economic society, and make significant contributions to improving people’s livelihood. It is hoped that the media will care about and report on these major special projects. Just now the reporter has already mentioned that I told everyone at the national science and technology work conference that special projects for aero-engines and gas turbines have been launched, and deep sea space stations, integrated information networks for the heavens and the earth, quantum communications and quantum computers, and brain and brain-like research projects The preparation of the implementation plans has already begun. It is expected that these major projects will be implemented within two years. I hope everyone will continue to pay attention.
