The Ministry of Commerce and other eight departments released the implementation opinions on accelerating the development of "AI + consumption" on the 18th. The implementation opinions focus on promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence and consumption, with the key points of expanding intelligent product consumption, empowering service consumption, and innovating consumption scenarios, using artificial intelligence new products, new services, and new scenarios as a path, proposing 17 measures in five aspects. In the field of goods consumption, the implementation opinions propose increasing the supply of new artificial intelligence products, promoting the replacement of consumer electronics and household appliances, cultivating the smart wearable consumer market, and creating a smart product ecosystem that integrates people, cars, and homes. Promote artificial intelligence robot consumption, target key groups such as the elderly and children, accelerate the application of new types of artificial intelligence products such as elderly care robots, companion robots, and artificial intelligence life assistants; build a platform for the first release of artificial intelligence products to support the first release and first exhibition of artificial intelligence products. In the field of service consumption, the implementation opinions propose practical measures around five major scenarios: home, elderly care, cultural tourism, accommodation and catering, and education. This includes investigating the integration of smart home and service applications into the "Good House" construction guidelines; guiding elderly care institutions to use artificial intelligence technology, equip intelligent nursing robots, rehabilitation robots, etc.; promoting artificial intelligence empowerment for tourism, deep integration with trip planning, ticketing, tour guides, hotel reservations, etc.; promoting "smart canteens" in offices, schools, hospitals, etc. In the field of business innovation, focusing on the three key links of retail, e-commerce, and logistics, the implementation opinions propose accelerating the development of intelligent retail, implementing the retail industry innovation promotion project; promoting the deep integration of e-commerce and artificial intelligence, empowering operations, customer service, design, marketing, live streaming, and other full-scene full-processes; using artificial intelligence technology to improve the intelligent logistics distribution system at the county level, promote self-service pick-up cabinets, smart express cabinets, and other logistics terminals, and improve coverage in remote areas. In terms of promotion and environmental protection, the implementation opinions propose the construction of "AI + consumption" aggregation areas, the construction of a batch of artificial intelligence experience centers; encouraging public scenarios such as commercial complexes, pedestrian streets, scenic spots, museums, elderly care institutions, to carry out new models of innovation such as artificial intelligence product rental, sharing, and trials; encouraging local governments to autonomously formulate and implement subsidy policies within the framework of the consumer goods old-for-new policy, with a focus on supporting new generation intelligent terminals identified in the "AI +" action plan.
