Yang Jie said that this year marks the closing year of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Over the past five years, China's information and communication industry has taken Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as its guide, accelerated the construction of intelligent, integrated digital information infrastructure, and promoted the deep empowerment of real economy transformation by information and communication technology. It has achieved the goals of "gigabit to every county, 5G to every township, and broadband to every village," and has effectively promoted the integration of the real economy to become a distinct feature of high-quality development. As a central enterprise in the field of cyberspace, China Mobile has always been concerned about "national priorities".

Yang Jie pointed out that as the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation led by AI has deepened, the integration and innovation of information and energy further developed in depth, and human society has fully entered a new era of AI , gradually showing the characteristics and trends of "three accelerated integration", accelerating the transformation of production, life and governance, promoting the formation of new economic forms, social forms and models of civilization, and bringing infinite imagination space for the future development of information services.

First, the accelerated integration of digital intelligence technology and the real economy has promoted the transformation and upgrading of the economic form. As core engine of new-quality productive forces, the new generation of digital intelligence technology, led by AI, has been integrated into all aspects of the real economy chain, empowering the transformation from technological innovation to industrial implementation, triggering innovation "polymerization", industrial "fission", and economic "intelligence". One is the accelerated progress of technological breakthrough. 5G-A, 6G, and other new-generation network technologies continue to evolve, deeply integrate and innovate with AI, big data, blockchain, and technologies, achieve chain breakthroughs, and form a fusion technology system of ubiquitous intelligence, ubiquitous perception, and ubiquitous space-time, comprehensively supporting data ubiquitous, model ubiquitous, and ubiquitous, accelerating the transition of AI to general artificial intelligence (AGI) and super artificial intelligence (ASI), and promoting the world into a new round of innovation intensive. The second is the upgrading of industrial transformation. With the accelerated application of digital intelligence technology, the intelligent industry is developing rapidly, and is "from scratch" to open up a of new industry tracks such as AI content creation and autonomous driving; the intelligent industry is advancing in an all-round way, and is helping the industry break boundaries, re-construct, improve the total factor productivity, and achieve intelligent upgrading from "existing to excellent" in various industries. The third is the improvement and expansion of scenario penetration. Relying on real-time perception of data in full scenarios of production, life, and governance, AI can accurately match supply and demand, reshape the underlying logic of product services, drive the increase in the innovation speed of the whole society, and give birth to new intelligent native services, new models, and new business formats, accelerating the vigorous rise of the intelligent economy It can be foreseen that AI will accelerate the re-configuration of production factors and the systematic reform of the paradigm of value creation, promote the digital economy to leap to a higherlevel intelligent economy, and inject lasting momentum into the development of new-quality productive forces.

Second, the accelerated integration of the digital and physical worlds is driving the evolution of social forms. With the rapid advancement of digital intelligence, a digital world that precisely mirrors the physical world and interacts with it in real time will be formed in the future, extending and expanding the boundaries of human social development from the " physical world" to the "infinite digital space-time". Firstly, the digital world is accelerating its construction. The rapid breakthrough of cutting-edge technologies such as world models quantum computing enables the digital world to simulate and dynamically project the physical world with high precision, helping us deeply understand the internal laws from micro-particles to macro-universe, and greatly enhance the ability level of human beings to understand the world. Secondly, the physical world is being deeply transformed. The rapid development of intelligent terminals and intelligent entities enables AI to and interact with the real environment in real time through a variety of device carriers, and to autonomously execute complex tasks such as precision operations, high-risk rescue, and deep and space exploration, significantly enhancing the ability level of human beings to transform the world. Thirdly, the digital and physical spaces are seamlessly connected. Smart glasses, AR/VR and new terminals will become the key entrance to connect the digital world with the physical world. Around the scenarios of entertainment, office, social, culture and tourism, etc., it will an "immersive digital-real integration space", allowing people to enjoy an extraordinary experience blending virtual and real. It is foreseeable that the digital world and the physical world form a hybrid ecosystem, gathering a massive amount of digital assets, bringing a wealth of scenario applications, profoundly changing the way human society operates, and promoting the construction of a more, convenient and friendly intelligent society.

Third, carbon-based life and silicon-based life are accelerating integration, driving the paradigm shift and reshaping of civilization AI continues to release the "two-scale effects" in terms of technological capability and economic benefits, and will be deeply integrated into various fields of the economy and society at an unprecedented, driving the integration and symbiosis of carbon and silicon to become one of the important trends in the development of human civilization. First, the group emergence of silicon-based life In the future, silicon-based life with physical hardware such as sensors, processors, memories, and controllers as the "body" and computing intelligence, perceptual intelligence, cognitive, and motor intelligence as the "nerve center" will usher in a group emergence, and AI intelligent terminals, intelligent connected vehicles, intelligent robots, and other widely used, the scale of silicon-based individuals will far exceed that of humans, forming a new "talent dividend" and a new "360 industry". Second, the deep of carbon and silicon forms. Continuous breakthroughs in brain-computer interfaces, biological intelligence, and other technologies will promote the gradual integration and co-evolution of carbon-based life silicon-based life at the physiological and cognitive levels, giving birth to new life forms of carbon-silicon integration such as exoskeletons, cyborgs (ie., semi-mechanized humans), and digital life, helping humans improve physical functions, break through cognitive bottlenecks, and achieve a dual leap in physical and mental. In the future, more and more "enhanced humans" empowered by AI will be born, redefining the boundaries of life. Third, the co-creation of siliconcarbon values. Silicon-based individuals will be upgraded from device tools to collaborative partners, and organizational forms will accelerate towards "man-machine collaboration", with the rapid rise of " platforms" and "one-person companies". The "carbon-silicon symbiosis" culture is accelerating, triggering systemic changes in organizational systems, ethical norms, and legal. It is foreseeable that with the explosive growth of silicon-based life and the integrated value creation of carbon-silicon forms, the world will form a new model of "-machine co-governance" and open a new epoch of information civilization characterized by "carbon-silicon symbiosis".
