The ultimate goal of AI development is not only to research cutting-edge models but also to promote the widespread application of AI for the benefit of society. In August 2025, the State Council of China issued opinions on deepening the implementation of the "AI+" action, proposing that by 2030, AI in China will empower high-quality development comprehensively, with the application penetration rate of the new generation of intelligent terminals and intelligent entities exceeding 90%, making the intelligent economy a key driver of China's economic development, promoting technology inclusiveness and shared benefits.
