At the conference, which was held by Beijing
Economic-Technological Development Area Management Committee,
E-Town's top ten AI applied scenarios and results were released in
series, the Yizhi government affair large-model service platform
was launched, and Beijing AI Application Scenario Institute
(BAIASI) and Beijing AI Native Industry Acceleration Platform
(BAINIAP) were unveiled.
Beijing E-Town has focused on building itself into an AI town,
advancing the deep integration of AI technology with the
development of E-Town New Town as well as industrial upgrading and
transformation. It has made efforts to introduce technological
innovation through scenario applications, establish city-level AI
engineering test platforms, and better balance development with
safety. It has explored the path mechanism of AI empowering
production and lifestyle, pioneered the trial in special
industries, high-risk positions, and repetitive labor segments, and
boosted the incubation, application and empowerment of AI
technology across the district.
Serving as a pioneer in the capital's high-quality development,
a ballast of the capital's real economy and a leading site for
high-end, sophisticated and cutting-edge technology
sectors, Beijing E-Town has nearly 100,000 business entities and
attracted 157 projects invested by 102 global 500 enterprises,
covering a wide variety of industrial scenarios like biomedicine,
automobile manufacturing, commercial space and intelligent
manufacturing. By amassing a wide range of high-quality data in
vertical fields, the area has enjoyed exceptional AI application
advantages, functioning as the best test ground for large AI models
and industry vertical models.
E-Town has selected the first batch of AI benchmarking
application scenarios, involving ten fields such as medical and
health care, transport & travel, car cockpit, humanoid robots,
new retail, governmental services, industrial design, drug R&D,
energy conservation and carbon reduction, and news & media. In
particular, AI plus medical and health care scenarios are applied
to support developing AI training centers for medical and health
care. E-Town has partnered with authoritative institutions to build
high-quality health data zones to promote disease diagnosis &
treatment application. Across the district, public health
institutions have been accessible as smart medical pilot sites to
support large-model enterprises in screening quality solutions
around the smart triage, auxiliary diagnosis & treatment and
digital doctors.
"We welcome innovation entities specializing in AI chips, large
basic models, industry applications and data governance to
participate in developing Beijing E-Town's AI demonstration
application scenarios." The person in charge of Beijing
Economic-Technological Development Area management committee issued
a recruitment announcement and offered an olive branch to global
enterprises in the release session, hoping that through the ten
benchmarking application scenarios, a number of pioneering,
replicable and promotional E-Town solutions would be offered to
drive the development of the AI town.
The unveiling of BAIASI and BAINIAP has provided an underpinning
for expediting the AI industry aggregation and the application of
key industry scenarios. The development area would also offer
all-round support to AI enterprises and talents, establish venture
capital funds, industry funds and 10-billion-yuan special funds,
and build a full-chain investment platform for businesses
throughout the entire growth cycle.
Yizhi, the city's first large-model service platform for
government affairs, was officially launched. This new-generation
data infrastructure of Beijing E-Town adopts the new architecture
of one portal, three centers and three engines, featuring
multi-model management, knowledge base operation, agent
convergence, one-stop supervision, plug-in call, and localized
adaptation. Yizhi has supported E-Town's departments applying the
large-model technology in digital transformation, which has been
implemented in eight sub-scenarios.
