The General Office of the People's Government of Guangdong Province has officially issued the "Guangdong Province Action Plan for Accelerating High-Level Application of Artificial Intelligence Across All Domains, Times, and Industries" (Yue Ban Han [2026] No. 50). This marks a new phase where Guangdong's "AI+" initiative is entering a stage of comprehensive implementation and systematic advancement across all areas.
The Action Plan closely aligns with the State Council's "AI+" deployment. Leveraging Guangdong's advantages in leading industrial scale, complete industrial chains, abundant application scenarios, and concentrated computing power and talent, it establishes a core orientation of "full domain coverage, all-time response, and full industry penetration." It systematically deploys 63 key tasks across seven major directions: scientific research, agriculture and rural areas, traditional industries, emerging industries, the service sector, governance capabilities, and public welfare. These tasks cover the entire chain from basic research and industrial upgrading to public service delivery.
The plan simultaneously strengthens support across ten key elements, including computing power coordination, data supply, open-source ecosystems, talent development, and funding guarantees. Specific measures are outlined, such as building a provincial-level computing power scheduling platform, issuing "computing power vouchers," creating high-quality industry datasets, strengthening artificial intelligence pilot testing bases, and cultivating AI-focused OPCs. This forms a closed-loop implementation path of "scenario牵引—technology breakthrough—ecosystem prosperity—security and controllability," aiming to accelerate the cultivation of new quality productive forces through artificial intelligence and establish the province as a national hub for AI integration and application.
I. AI+ Industrial Upgrading and Productivity Transformation In the Action Plan, artificial intelligence is positioned not merely as a single software or hardware-related industry but as a key core engine driving the development of "new quality productive forces." Its core development philosophy relies on practical application scenarios to drive technology落地, using mature application demands to pull the entire industry forward, and achieving collaborative innovation and共同进步 through a robust industrial ecosystem.
The Action Plan explicitly states the need to fully utilize four prominent inherent advantages: leading industrial scale, complete and comprehensive industrial chain配套, a wealth of viable application scenarios, and highly concentrated computing power resources and professional talent. Simultaneously, it aims to comprehensively promote a deep and all-encompassing "digital and intelligent transformation"围绕 the seven key areas mentioned.
II. Comprehensive Penetration from "Fingertips to Taste Buds" 1. AI+ Traditional Industries Unlike previous action plans focusing solely on high-end manufacturing, this Action Plan demonstrates a strong接地气, mentioning traditional industries such as Cantonese mooncakes, condiments, preserved fruits, toys, and textiles. It supports intelligent manufacturing transformation, encouraging enterprises to utilize AI for flexible production, intelligent quality inspection, and color/texture design. The plan also proposes business model innovation, suggesting the cultivation of "one-person companies." With AI assistance, individual creativity will be infinitely放大, enabling a single person to become a highly competitive enterprise.
2. AI+ Emerging Industries For strategic emerging industries, the Action Plan makes precise部署. For the low-altitude economy, it aims to build a differentiated low-altitude manufacturing system in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai, constructing a "low-altitude digital base." For intelligent robotics, the focus is on布局 humanoid robots, tackling协同 technologies for human-computer interaction and embodied intelligence, likened to "brain" and "cerebellum" coordination. For bio-manufacturing, it involves using artificial intelligence to optimize cell factory design and shorten new drug development cycles.
3. AI+ Smart Governance In the future, government services will gradually move towards a new "Guangdong Model of Intelligent Collaborative Office Work." According to the Action Plan's部署, by building and utilizing government large models, it will comprehensively promote greater automation, precision, and efficiency in administrative approvals, policy simulation, law enforcement, and supervision. Particularly in areas of high public concern like food and drug safety, efforts will be intensified to promote the construction of "lights-out laboratories" and off-site intelligent supervision models. This will leverage intelligent means to identify potential hazards and predict risks in advance,全力 safeguarding public health and safety.
III. Elemental Safeguards for AI Implementation The Action Plan明确提出 that Guangdong Province will introduce a series of practical and powerful elemental safeguard measures to build a solid foundation for related industrial development. At the computing power supply level, focusing on the common practical challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises, such as high computing power costs and difficulty in access, the provincial level will specifically issue "computing power vouchers." It will also accelerate the establishment of a provincial "intelligent computing pool,"全力 promoting the普惠化 supply of computing power resources to be as convenient and readily available as tap water. In the field of data elements, it will high-standardly build a national-level trusted data space, orderly promote the规范交易 of compliant data from key industries like transportation, healthcare, and industry, and precisely破解 the core痛点 of insufficient training data supply for AI models and the reluctance to openly share various types of data. Regarding industrial ecosystem construction, the Action Plan emphasizes the need to持续 deepen the comprehensive adaptation of open-source Harmony and Ascend ecosystems, continuously strengthen the construction of artificial intelligence open-source communities, firmly守住 the bottom line of independent, secure, and controllable underlying technology, and全力打造 and export benchmark "Guangdong Solutions" in the field of artificial intelligence.
IV. AI+ Public Welfare The Action Plan dedicates considerable篇幅 to detailed部署围绕 "public welfare" content. In elderly care, it actively promotes the research and development of intelligent companion assistants with both emotional陪伴 and daily communication functions, as well as professional intelligent care equipment, to effectively alleviate the practical pressure of insufficient social elderly care resources against the backdrop of an aging population. In education, it comprehensively普及 and promotes virtual simulation teaching models and digital tutor intelligent services. Leveraging digital resource advantages, it aims to切实助力 the steady improvement of education quality in remote rural areas and achieve the升级发展 of quality education. In healthcare, relying on mature AI-assisted diagnostic systems, it aims to打破 geographical barriers to medical resources. This allows residents in remote towns and mountainous areas to conveniently enjoy the professional and precise medical imaging diagnosis services of资深 provincial medical experts without leaving their localities.
V. Guangdong's Societal Digital and Intelligent Transformation After the implementation of the Action Plan, Guangdong will actively open up its most authentic industrial factory operation scenarios, the most complex modern urban governance operation logic scenarios, and the民生服务 scenarios with the largest coverage and broadest service scope to广大 technology developers. This is not only a technological competition and innovation race focused on cutting-edge breakthroughs but also a comprehensive and deep-seated era transformation围绕 the operational forms of social organizations, social production协作 relationships, and the daily lifestyles of the public. Guangdong Province is now steadily advancing the overall "all-domain, all-time, all-industry" development布局,全方位 and多维度 embracing the wave of artificial intelligence development.
