Abstract:

The "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical phase for China to advance towards its second centenary goal, promote the construction of a modern industrial system, and enhance international competitiveness. During this period, the intelligent economy will face strategic opportunities presented by the new global wave of technological revolution and the pursuit of Chinese modernization, potentially becoming a major growth driver for China's economic development. Building on the foundation laid during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period and theoretical analysis, this study identifies four key development trends in the intelligent economy: the shift from digitalization to intelligentization, the transition from generative applications to intelligent agents, the move from virtual services to physical manufacturing, and the evolution from the "leading goose effect" to an integrated industrial system. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China needs to expand investment scale, build intelligent infrastructure, foster an AI industrial ecosystem, and establish institutional rules to ensure the safe and orderly development of the intelligent economy, thereby making greater contributions to economic growth and people's well-being.
