Beijing: Boosting Supply of Next-Gen Smart Terminals Including AI Phones, Computers, and Robots

The Beijing Municipal People's Government issued the 'Plan for Deepening the Construction of an International Consumption Center City in the 15th Five-Year Period.' The plan emphasizes advancing 'AI + Consumption,' expanding digital product consumption by increasing the supply of next-generation smart terminals such as AI-powered phones and computers, smart wearables, and intelligent robots. It also promotes innovation in digital content consumption by encouraging the use of AI to assist in creating drama, music, dance, visual arts, immersive experiences, and more high-quality digital cultural heritage products, while increasing the supply of ultra-high-definition content for broadcasting, television, and online video. New digital consumption scenarios will be developed by accelerating the integration of data intelligence technologies with consumption settings and fostering applications of AI, virtual reality, and ultra-high-definition technologies across commerce, education, healthcare, culture, tourism, and sports to create smart business districts and stores. Finally, the plan aims to expand digital consumption channels by supporting digital marketing for physical retail enterprises and guiding the standardized and healthy development of instant retail and live-streaming e-commerce.
