Unlike traditional AI, which may simply assist or provide recommendations, AI agents are capable of executing complex workflows without continuous human input. These agents are purpose-built to perform specialized roles within a company, such as customer support, data analysis, compliance checking or even performing financial tasks, experts said.<\/p>\n<p>Li Lecheng, minister of industry and information technology, chaired a meeting in Beijing in June, outlining a comprehensive strategy to accelerate AI technological innovation and integrated application, thereby positioning AI as a core driver of China\u2019s new industrialization.<\/p>\n<p>Xie Shaofeng, chief engineer at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the country\u2019s top industry regulator, said at a news conference that the ministry has also coordinated with provincial governments to develop 11 national AI innovation pilot zones.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, central and local authorities have jointly built specialized manufacturing innovation centers for embodied AI robots, humanoid robots and other next-generation technologies to drive the development of industrial clusters, Xie said.<\/p>\n<p>Hong Qunlian, a researcher at the National Development and Reform Commission\u2019s Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research, said: \u201cManufacturing is the focal point of competition among major powers and technological supremacy.
