AI plays crucial role in industrial upgrading

The artificial intelligence sector is expected to play a crucial role in attracting more investment to Guangzhou and boosting the industrial upgrading underway in the southern metropolis, traditionally known as a hub for manufacturing and foreign trade.

Guangzhou, at the heart of the Pearl River Delta region, has vowed to lead China's AI industry development through its industrial upgrades.

The AI industry, along with the next generation of information technology and biological medicine, has been included in a citywide strategic plan for Guangzhou's near-term industrial development.
