Abstract

China has rapidly experienced industrialization and informatization, entering the era of digital economy. The combination of new productive forces represented by artificial intelligence, non-exclusive production factors represented by knowledge, and open source related relationships may form a new model. From the perspective of social practices of open source innovation, open source lacks systematic preparedness at theoretical, institutional, and talent levels. China should seize the historical opportunity to complete theoretical updates and cultural reconstruction those are adapted to it. Open source and openness also have conditions for China to create a global paradigm of cooperation, sharing, and innovation in the digital economy. This study systematically explores the path of integration and innovation in China’s economic and cultural development characterized by open source from four aspects: theoretical construction, cultural integration, international cooperation, and national innovation system.
