The Ministry of Commerce and seven other departments released 17 measures to comprehensively promote the development of "Artificial Intelligence + Consumption."

The Ministry of Commerce and seven other departments officially released the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of 'Artificial Intelligence + Consumption'," proposing 17 specific measures around five major areas: commodity consumption, service consumption, business innovation, and promotion guarantees. The aim is to address structural bottlenecks on both the supply and demand sides, promoting the accelerated integration of artificial intelligence technology into households and businesses.

The "Opinions" clearly state that in the commodity sector, the supply of smart terminals will be expanded, a new track for humanoid robot consumption will be established, and a "people, vehicles, homes" full-scene interactive ecosystem will be created. It also promotes the deep integration of AI with cutting-edge technologies such as brain-machine interfaces and augmented reality. In the service sector, the focus will be on five major scenarios: home care, elderly care, and cultural tourism, researching the inclusion of smart homes in the "good housing" construction guidelines, and equipping elderly care institutions with smart nursing and rehabilitation robots. Furthermore, the "Opinions" also plan to embed AI technology in retail, e-commerce, and logistics to enhance circulation efficiency, and propose the establishment of "Artificial Intelligence + Consumption" aggregation areas and experience centers, requiring close alignment with existing consumption promotion policies such as "trade-in for new" for digital products, thereby shifting the logic of consumption growth in our country from reliance on external stimuli to gradual empowerment through technology.
