Summary
On November 7, 2023, the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, the Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission and three other local bureaus jointly issued measures to promote the development of large-scale AI models in Shanghai. The Shanghai local government will support the introduction of relevant high-tech enterprises into Shanghai, support Shanghai enterprises to develop large models that are internationally competitive, and encourage the formation of a data flywheel to accelerate model iteration. Shanghai will provide special rewards to those who achieve major results in the large-scale AI model field. It also plans to build a national large model testing, verification, and collaborative innovation center, as well as encourage large model innovation enterprises to rely on the center to carry out relevant testing and evaluation projects. In addition, the measures support development of AI hardware, software, and the application of large-scale AI models in various industries (e.g., biotech, fintech, autonomous vehicles and robotics).
