CGTN

Chinese Premier Li Qiang said on Wednesday that artificial intelligence (AI) is an important engine for developing new quality productive forces as he inspected technology organizations in Beijing.

Li, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, urged efforts to elevate computing levels and promote algorithm breakthroughs as well as data utilization at a symposium held during his inspection.

Li visited China's tech company Baidu to learn the development and application of large language model (LLM) products. It is important to open up more application scenarios and provide a more favorable environment for AI industries, he said.

He went to Beijing's High-Level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone and called for utilizing the upgrading of autonomous driving technology to boost the development of the automotive industry and the construction of smart cities.

When visiting semiconductor manufacturer Naura Technology, the premier encouraged the enterprise to increase investment in science and technology, and step up development of advance process equipment.

He also stopped by Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, a non-profit AI research organization, to learn about the development of frontier technologies for LLM. Li called for aiming at the world's advanced level, strengthening collaboration to make new breakthroughs.
