The global AI industry entered an explosive phase of commercial application in 2026, overturning traditional economic growth models and emerging as the core engine of worldwide economic expansion. Contrary to debates over AI risks, mainstream overseas economic opinions confirm that the economic value of AI and data center industries has surpassed traditional core sectors such as oil and the internet.
Currently, the global AI sector sees simultaneous progress in technological iteration and industrial application. Countries have ramped up AI industrial policies. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology keeps promoting industrial AI empowerment, advancing deep integration between artificial intelligence and manufacturing and service industries to foster new industrial tracks. Overseas markets focus on AI infrastructure construction, with capital heavily investing in data center capacity expansion and AI commercial scenario deployment.

AI empowers the whole industrial chain. On one hand, it replaces inefficient manual production and improves efficiency in industrial manufacturing and supply chain management. On the other hand, it spawns new business forms including AI inference, smart hardware and industry-specific solutions, creating new economic growth points. In capital markets, valuation of firms specializing in AI computing power and domestic chips has steadily recovered.
Industry analysis indicates AI is no longer merely a tech concept. It has become a core force reshaping global industrial patterns and economic growth logic. Future industrial competition will center on AI technology implementation and scenario innovation, and intelligent transformation of the real economy will be the key driver for global economic recovery.
