China and ASEAN cooperate on consolidating the foundation for the development of artificial intelligence
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has developed rapidly around the world and has become an important engine to promote economic growth and social progress. China and ASEAN countries are increasingly closely cooperating in the field of artificial intelligence. Through policy dialogue, technological exchanges, industrial cooperation, etc., the two sides jointly consolidate the foundation for the development of artificial intelligence and promote regional digital transformation and upgrading. The following are the recent hot content and structured data analysis of China and ASEAN in artificial intelligence cooperation.
1. Policy cooperation and framework construction
Policy cooperation between China and ASEAN countries in the field of artificial intelligence is constantly deepening. In November 2023, the China-ASEAN Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Forum was held in Nanning, Guangxi. The two sides signed the "China-ASEAN Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Framework Agreement", aiming to strengthen cooperation in technology research and development, data sharing, talent training, etc. The following are the main contents of the agreement:
| Areas of cooperation | Specific content | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Technology research and development | Jointly carry out research on key technologies such as AI algorithms and big data analysis | Improve regional AI innovation capabilities |
| Data Sharing | Establish a cross-border data circulation mechanism to promote data security and compliance use | Promote the marketization of data elements |
| Talent training | Establish a joint AI laboratory to carry out student exchanges and training projects | Cultivate high-end AI talents |
2. Industrial cooperation and project implementation
China and ASEAN countries have made significant progress in cooperation with the artificial intelligence industry. Recently, many Chinese technology companies have signed AI project cooperation agreements with ASEAN countries, covering smart cities, medical health, smart manufacturing and other fields. The following are some key projects:
| Project name | Partners | Investment amount (US$ 100 million) | Application areas |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASEAN Smart City AI Platform | Huawei, Singapore government | 2.5 | Smart transportation, security monitoring |
| China-Thailand AI Medical Diagnostic System | Tencent, Thailand's Ministry of Health | 1.2 | Medical image analysis |
| Vietnamese intelligent manufacturing AI solution | Alibaba, Vietnam Ministry of Industry | 1.8 | Industrial automation |
3. Technical exchange and talent training
China and ASEAN countries have also carried out a number of cooperations in artificial intelligence technology exchanges and talent training. Recently, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and the ASEAN Secretariat jointly organized the "China-ASEAN AI Youth Scientist Exchange Program", attracting more than 200 young scholars from 10 ASEAN countries to participate. The following are the key contents of the communication plan:
| Activity name | Number of participants | Main content | Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI Technology Seminar | 150 people | Sharing of cutting-edge technologies such as deep learning and natural language processing | Achieve 10 joint research intentions |
| Business visit | 50 people | Visit the top AI companies in China | Sign 5 internship agreements |
| hackathon | 30 teams | 48-hour AI application development competition | 3 award-winning projects were born |
4. Future cooperation prospects
China and ASEAN countries have broad prospects for cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence. In the future, the two sides will further deepen cooperation in policy coordination, technology research and development, industrial application, etc., and jointly respond to challenges such as data security and ethical governance. The Ministry of Science and Technology of China said it will establish the "China-ASEAN AI Cooperation Special Fund" for five years, with a total scale of US$1 billion to support joint research, technology transfer and talent training.
In addition, China and ASEAN countries will jointly promote the establishment of a regional AI standard system to promote mutual recognition of technology and industrial interconnection. It is estimated that by 2025, the scale of China-ASEAN AI industry will exceed US$50 billion, becoming an important growth pole for global AI development.
Through the above cooperation, China and ASEAN countries will jointly consolidate the foundation for the development of artificial intelligence, promote the digital transformation of regional economy, and contribute "Oriental wisdom" to the development of global AI.
