On November 4, the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Application for Nanjing Industrial and Information Development Special Fund Projects in 2024", which provided strong support for the field of artificial intelligence.
The project categories include a total of eight aspects, namely: artificial intelligence computing power coupon subsidies, artificial intelligence industry large-scale model projects, high-quality demonstration and promotion application projects, vehicle companies’ research and development of new energy battery-replacement heavy truck new model projects, and commonly used software products Xinchuang Adaptation subsidies, open source software commercialization enterprise awards, national technology research award projects, and awards for leading enterprises to cooperate with universities in Nanjing to cultivate industrial talents, the subsidy range is between 2 million and 10 million.
In the field of artificial intelligence, specifically:
Artificial Intelligence Computing Power Voucher Subsidy: Focusing on manufacturing, energy, culture and tourism, finance, transportation, medical and health, government services, urban governance and other fields, it supports the rental of artificial intelligence computing power resources for the development and application of artificial intelligence technology. The cumulative payment is calculated every year. The amount of the coupon shall not exceed 2 million yuan.
Artificial Intelligence Industry Large Model Project: Focus on vertical fields such as manufacturing, electricity, culture and tourism, finance, consumption, transportation and logistics, medicine and health, scientific research, etc., support a number of artificial intelligence industry-specific large model projects, and promote the implementation of artificial intelligence large model technology . The maximum subsidy amount for a single project shall not exceed 5 million.
High-quality demonstration application projects of artificial intelligence: Support a number of "artificial intelligence +" benchmark demonstration projects in the fields of manufacturing, energy, culture and tourism, finance (technology), transportation and logistics, medicine and health, government services, and urban governance. The amount of subsidy for a single project The maximum amount shall not exceed 2 million yuan.
In May this year, Nanjing released the "Nanjing Action Plan to Further Promote the Innovation and Development of Artificial Intelligence (2024-2026)" and related policies and measures in response to the construction of the National Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Application Pilot Zone, listing the new generation of artificial intelligence as one of the six major One of the new tracks for future industries, the goal is to make the scale of the core artificial intelligence industry reach 60 billion yuan by 2026 and establish an artificial intelligence industry development highland with national influence.
As early as 2022, Nanjing was identified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as the ninth national artificial intelligence innovation application pilot zone in the country and the only one in Jiangsu Province. An implementation plan was formulated for this purpose, aiming to form a "Nanjing model" and create 100 replicable, Demonstration application scenarios that can be promoted.
Up to now, Nanjing has gathered nearly 500 artificial intelligence-related companies, and has accumulated certain advantages in the fields of artificial intelligence software, algorithms, sensors and chips, machine vision, intelligent voice, intelligent unmanned systems and other subdivisions, forming the Qixia District China (Nanjing) Smart Valley, Kirin Science and Technology Park, China (Nanjing) Software Valley, Jiangbei New District, Jiangxinzhou Ecological Science and Technology Island and other key industrial chain parks have shown a good situation of accelerating development and accelerated business expansion.
For example, Turing Artificial Intelligence Research Institute has achieved remarkable results in AIGC content generation, and has developed applications such as "Xiaoling Painting". Based on AI algorithms, you only need to enter keywords or text describing the scene, and you can draw a picture in a few seconds. Generate a picture that fits the artistic conception. The "Jinling·Yuanjing Metaverse Scene" released by Nanjing Yicui Information Technology Co., Ltd. achieves multi-perspective scene reproduction through computer graphics application, real-time rendering engine and model topology optimization and other technologies.
As competition in the field of artificial intelligence becomes increasingly fierce, computing power support has become key. The "Nanjing Action Plan to Promote the Development of the Computing Power Industry" clearly states that "by 2026, the overall goal of intelligent computing power exceeding 6000P FLOPS (FP16)" will be coordinated, and actions to strengthen the foundation of algorithm innovation and improve computing power support will be implemented.
As the largest artificial intelligence public computing power innovation platform in the Yangtze River Delta region, the Nanjing Intelligent Computing Center regularly issues computing power coupons to artificial intelligence companies. The computing power utilization rate of the second phase of the Nanjing Artificial Intelligence Computing Center has also reached 85%.
