On September 12th, during the "Insights 2035: AI-driven Industry Breakthrough and Intelligent Evolution" forum at the 2025 Inclusion·Bund Conference, Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Antai School of Economics and Management and Zhongyin Technology Finance Institute, in collaboration with leading enterprises including China Pacific Insurance Group, L'Oréal China, LIKING Fitness, Industrial Bank, and Ant Group, jointly released the industry's first enterprise AI Adoption Maturity Model (AIM²).

"The first half of AI competition focuses on model parameters, while the second half will be determined by data quality," noted Professor Liu Shaoxuan, who leads the AIM² research team and serves as Associate Dean of Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Antai School of Economics and Management and Executive Dean of Zhongyin Technology Finance Institute.

The model introduces five progressive maturity levels (L1-L5) ranging from "single-point experimentation" to "AI-native" operations. It encompasses six key dimensions: strategy, organization, data, technology, application, and business. This framework provides enterprises with a systematic AI implementation assessment tool and roadmap, helping companies accurately position their current status, clarify transformation directions, and achieve a value leap from "+AI" to "AI+".
