Nine Chinese departments back AI products and embodied intelligence in commerce opinion
China's Ministry of Commerce and eight other departments issued an opinion on accelerating "technology-driven commerce" on October 19, calling for higher application of AI, big data, IoT, cloud computing, blockchain, digital twins and embodied intelligence across trade. It calls for richer smart product supply — smartphones, computers, home appliances, wearables and robots — and encourages smart products built on secure, reliable open-source operating systems. The opinion also targets specialised commercial agents for smart shopping guides, operations and logistics, pushes embodied intelligence into home services and commercial logistics, and proposes tiered governance of commercial agents with regulatory sandbox pilots.
The opinion sets out how the Ministry of Commerce and eight other departments want AI, embodied intelligence and commercial agents applied across retail, logistics and services, and signals support for open-source operating systems in smart devices.
