Hangzhou G20 Summit: Xi Jinping stressed the combination of AI and VR technology with the real economy

At 5 pm today, President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the G20 Business Summit held in Hangzhou and delivered a keynote speech, emphasizing the construction of an innovative world economy and the development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality.

The following is a part of the virtual reality excerpt from Xiaobian:

In the face of the current complex situation and risks of the world economy, the international community has high expectations for the G20 and the Hangzhou Summit. At the summit of the G20 leaders at the Antalya Summit last year, I proposed to put a good pulse on the world economy and open a good party. China hopes to work with all parties to promote the Hangzhou Summit to formulate a prescription for treating both symptoms and causes and comprehensive measures, and to promote the world economy to a strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth path.

First, build an innovative world economy and open up a source of growth. Innovation is the key to fundamentally unlocking the growth lock. The new round of science and technology and the industrial revolution with the Internet as the core are poised to take off, and new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality are changing with each passing day. The combination of virtual economy and real economy will bring revolutionary changes to people’s production methods and lifestyles. This kind of change will not happen overnight. It will not be easy. It will require all countries to work together to promote and fully amplify and accelerate its positive effects while minimizing possible negative impacts.

The state has already attached great importance to cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality. The National Development and Reform Commission also proposed to focus on building national AR/VR engineering technologies at the end of August. In addition, President Xi Jinping experienced Microsoft's Hololens mixed reality head-on during his visit to the United States in 2015.
