Abstract

In the field of artificial intelligence development, there is still a certain gap between China and the United States. The uncertain future of artificial general intelligence (AGI) decides that China should not only implement the "catch-up" strategy. Artificial intelligence is not a ‘linear innovation' development path, but there is overlap between basic research, applied research, and industrial transformation. This feature of innovation shows that diversified exploration can be realized based on tracking of international frontiers, breakthrough of basic research, and satisfaction of diverse application needs. China needs to adhere to the promotion of open governance, and regulate innovation directions of artificial intelligence through promoting the integration of basic research and applied research under an open institutional environment, as well as combining the "catch-up" strategy for the frontier and the "diversified exploration" strategy to meet specific development needs.
