Introduction

On April 29, the 9th Digital China Construction Summit was held, during which China Mobile organized an AI Ecosystem Conference themed “Gathering Intelligence for a New Era: Cultivating a New Form of Smart Economy.” Key attendees included Liu Liehong, member of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Chen Zhongyue, Chairman of China Mobile.

Chen Zhongyue stated that China Mobile focuses on building a strong network and a digital China, positioning intelligent services as a core business to foster a new form of smart economy and society. The initiatives include:

1. Promoting AI empowerment across various industries, launching over 50 industry-specific large models and more than 3,000 AI+ projects through the “Tiangong” platform.
2. Enhancing AI services for households by upgrading the “Lingxi” intelligent agent and promoting digital culture and embodied intelligence to lower the barriers to AI application.
3. Integrating AI into management and operations, deploying over 80,000 digital employees to improve operational efficiency. Additionally, China Mobile is enhancing its communication, computing, and intelligent service capabilities, upgrading the “Jiutian” large model and MaaS platform to facilitate breakthroughs in intelligent services and promote high-quality development of the AI industry.

This conference represents China Mobile’s commitment to implementing the national strategy of deepening the “AI+” initiative, enhancing service capacity, and accelerating its transformation from a “telecom operator” to a “technology service enterprise.” China Mobile aims to collaborate with academia and industry to drive AI towards practical applications, empowering industry transformation and upgrading.

Intelligent Service Matrix and Collaboration Initiative

China Mobile announced its intelligent service matrix and a collaborative initiative for the intelligent service industry. The services cover five major areas: data algorithms, embodied intelligence, digital culture, smart commerce, and industry-specific digital services, encompassing 12 subfields and over 40 intelligent service products.
In terms of service capability, leveraging its core strengths, China Mobile aims to deepen technology empowerment, matching standardized supply with customized service needs for diverse personal and family customer services.
Regarding the industrial ecosystem, a collaborative development initiative was launched, focusing on four core directions: building capability foundations, creating intelligent scenarios, benefiting households, and expanding across various industries. This involves engaging upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain to promote innovation and breakthroughs in intelligent services, collaboratively constructing an integrated industrial ecosystem and outlining a new blueprint for the development of digital China.

Collaboration with the China Academy of Industrial Internet

China Mobile signed a framework cooperation agreement and business implementation agreement with the China Academy of Industrial Internet for a national digital supply chain platform for the equipment manufacturing industry.
In terms of collaboration, this partnership aims to synergize the deep integration of information communication and equipment manufacturing.
For empowerment, leveraging the platform’s vast resources and AI capabilities will enhance efficiency for engineers and reduce costs for enterprises, addressing pain points in industrial development.
In terms of layout, pilot projects will be initiated in Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces to accelerate nationwide promotion, enhancing manufacturing strength through communication “soft power” to support the construction of a strong manufacturing nation and digital China.

Intelligent Service Promotion

In the realm of data algorithms, China Mobile introduced the Jiutian secure and trustworthy large model, establishing a secure foundation for intelligent services and empowering key industries.
For embodied intelligence, leveraging the “model-data-entity-platform-network” full-stack technology system, the “Lingxi Lechi” connected machine product matrix was launched, covering various application scenarios in both livelihood and industrial sectors.
In digital culture, leveraging Migu’s content advantages, AI is employed to innovate experiences such as AI ringtones and smart viewing.
In smart commerce, the mobile wallet AI payment system was developed, integrating communication and financial capabilities to create a secure, convenient, and seamless intelligent payment system.
For industry-specific digital services, the Tiangong industrial internet platform was upgraded to enhance five major engine capabilities, leading full-stack innovation in industrial intelligent services and establishing a policy platform for enterprises to access benefits effortlessly.

Zhang Xiaotong, Chief Engineer of the China Academy of Industrial Internet, and Lin Haiyan, Chairman of Xiamen Supply Chain Digital Innovation Co., Ltd., shared insights on “AI + Industrial Internet” and “AI Empowering International Supply Chains.”

In the future, China Mobile will collaborate with various industry stakeholders to accelerate scenario openness and optimize intelligent services, jointly cultivating a new form of smart economy.
