The Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Zhongguancun Science Park Management Committee recently jointly released the "Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry White Paper (2025)".
The white paper systematically reviews the key trends in the current development of the artificial intelligence industry and makes forward-looking judgments on future technological evolution and industry integration trends.
The white paper points out that, as an important evolutionary direction of artificial intelligence applications, AI Agents (artificial intelligence agents) capable of handling diverse tasks such as personal assistance, enterprise process automation, and scientific research assistance will experience explosive growth. These systems possess higher autonomy and adaptability to different scenarios, and are expected to achieve deep integration in multiple aspects of office work, daily life, and scientific research, significantly improving social operational efficiency.
At the same time, continuous breakthroughs in embodied intelligence will drive artificial intelligence to achieve a crucial leap from pure information processing to operation in the physical world.
By interacting with the environment in real time and performing specific tasks, embodied intelligence systems will play an increasingly important role in intelligent manufacturing, smart services, and special operations.
In terms of cognitive capabilities, artificial intelligence is constantly expanding its boundaries. The construction and application of World Models will significantly enhance the generalization ability and decision-making reliability of AI systems in complex and ever-changing environments, laying the foundation for building more general and robust artificial intelligence.
In the field of scientific research, a new paradigm of "AI for Science" is gradually taking shape. Artificial intelligence technology will be deeply integrated into the entire process of scientific research, significantly accelerating the research cycle from hypothesis generation and experimental design to data analysis and knowledge discovery, and is expected to generate a series of major breakthroughs in life sciences, materials research and development, and drug discovery.
Furthermore, the inclusive development of artificial intelligence will also become an important trend. With the continuous maturity of edge AI technology, terminal devices such as smartphones, personal computers, and smart cars will integrate more powerful local intelligent processing capabilities, driving the application scenarios of artificial intelligence to a broader and deeper level, opening up a brand new market.
