This new term points out a new path for the development of the digital economy and the integration of digital and real worlds. "AI+" has become one of the key technologies driving the new industrial revolution, playing an important role in promoting global economic growth and becoming a focus of global technological competition.

What we should pay attention to is that "AI+" is not just the stacking of technologies, but it is to spur new productive forces through new technologies, bringing new industries, new models, and new momentum to various sectors of the economy and society, unleashing multiplier effects.

China Mobile, as the world's largest telecommunications operator, has long been laying out in the field of artificial intelligence. With the deepening advancement of artificial intelligence technology, it has achieved many remarkable practical results.

For example, the China Mobile Smart Computing Center (Harbin) that was officially launched recently has become the smart computing center with the largest single-cluster computing power scale among global operators and the largest domestic network equipment networking scale. It has strong overall advantages in terms of data resources, advanced algorithms, and powerful computing power support.

At this conference, China Mobile released the Jiutian Ju Zhi Smart Body Development Platform, which allows everyone to become a creator of AI applications for the era of large models. In addition, it also released the Jiutian Shan Zhi multimodal base large model and 30 self-developed industry large models, establishing a comprehensive communication and cooperation "Jiutian" large model matrix. This has created an innovative engine for the intelligent era, injecting vigorous momentum into the development of the digital economy.
