On June 23, the 2018 Guangzhou International Artificial Intelligence Work Exchange was held in Nansha. Experts and scholars participating in the conference generally agreed that Guangzhou should rely on its strong traditional industry base to attract artificial intelligence enterprises such as smart manufacturing that can integrate with traditional industries to settle down.
In 2017, Guangzhou proposed the 'IAB' plan to develop strategic emerging industries such as Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Bio-pharmaceutical, plus new energy and new materials industries. Being together as a pillar industry in Guangzhou's future development has high hopes.
Afterwards, in policies and practical measures, Guangzhou gave encouragement to the artificial intelligence industry. For example, it drafted guidelines for the work of intelligent network-linked automobile testing to improve the development and application environment of autonomous driving technology. The Guangzhou IB was speeded up. The Five-year Plan of Action for Industrial Development (2018-2022) clearly puts forward the goal of building an international first-class artificial intelligence demonstration area, and puts forward guarantee policies for talents, land, and funds.
In addition, Guangzhou is guided by government investment in informatization projects and special government support funds, which promotes the application of artificial intelligence technologies and products in advantageous industries, public management, and people's livelihood services. For example, it has started the rental house intelligence based on face recognition. Access control, artificial intelligence readings, etc. A number of artificial intelligence demonstration applications.
In the process of industrial agglomeration and the formation of ecological chains, the Nansha Development Zone Management Committee and the AsiaInfo Group jointly built the Guangzhou Nansha International Advanced Research Institute of Artificial Intelligence Industry (hereinafter referred to as 'Guangzhou International AI Research Institute') to create the first open artificial intelligence in China. Hardware and software and data platform, providing talent introduction, technology research, product development, results transformation and investment incubation one-stop service. High-end talent team stationed in Guangzhou International AI Research Institute, up to 100 million yuan in subsidies and incentive support.
During the day of the meeting, 37 companies signed a contract with the Guangzhou International Academy of AI, including 9 academicians, 7 entrepreneurial teams returning from overseas, 6 inter-company teams, etc. In addition, Guangzhou Intelligent Equipment Industry Group Co., Ltd., Chinese Academy of Sciences Shenyang Automation Research Institute, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Fifth Research Institute and Guangzhou International AI Research Institute signed a strategic cooperation agreement.
It is reported that the institute is currently stepping up industrialization and incubation. It is expected that the initial investment in 2018 will be about 1 billion yuan. The estimated output value will be close to 10 billion yuan, and the independent intellectual property rights such as patents will also reach 30 or so. .
However, compared with Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, artificial intelligence companies have received insufficient support in the capital market. Zhang Jin, general manager of Guangzhou International Ai Research Institute Co., Ltd., said in an interview with a reporter from the First Financial Bureau that it will initiate the establishment together with the government. The billion-dollar Guangzhou artificial intelligence industry fund is planned to be operational at the end of the year. At present, the research institute and the Nansha District Government are in the process of setting up the GP to handle related procedures.
In addition, Xie Xiaohui, director of the Investment and Trade Promotion Bureau of Guangzhou Nansha Development Zone, told the reporter that the planning and design of the planned 3,000-mu artificial intelligence industrial park had already been completed. The land leveling work is currently underway. It is expected that the land will be sold after the completion of the first half of next year.
“In the past two years, the artificial intelligence industry in Guangzhou has developed rapidly. This has not only benefited from the introduction of a comprehensive industrial policy system in Guangzhou to attract high-end talent and its team, but also benefited from the desire of many local companies to transform and upgrade, and to actively embrace advanced foreign technologies. Artificial intelligence technology, and these are the unique advantages of Guangzhou, artificial intelligence combined with the original traditional industries can promote the take-off of the local industry. 'Zhang Jin said.
