[CMG Policy Radar] Accelerating the Development of “Artificial Intelligence Plus Consumption”

China Macro Group | policy · business · strategy 

What is it? 

A cross-sector implementation policy promoting AI-enabled products, services and consumption scenarios, including smart devices, intelligent vehicles, robots, retail, tourism, hospitality, education and elderly care. 

Why does it matter?

It uses China’s consumer market as a testing and deployment environment for AI, linking consumption expansion with the commercial iteration of AI technologies and products.

Implications 

High. The policy could expand demand and pilot opportunities for foreign AI, robotics, smart-device and automotive companies. However, market access may increasingly depend on local partnerships and compliance with Chinese data, cybersecurity, algorithm and technical-standard requirements.
