The Chinese Communist Party has included a significant statement in its plans for the next five-year period. This statement is noteworthy for the future of technology.
The editorial reports that the plans include points such as "promoting innovation in multimodal technologies, intelligent agents, embodied and collective intelligence, and exploring pathways for the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI)." This indicates that AGI is now part of the official five-year plan.
This decision once again confirms China's global ambitions in the field of artificial intelligence. The steps taken by the organization in this direction may determine the main directions of technological development in the future.
