3月13日,ChinaDaily两会专版发表深度观点文章《Experts: Integrating AI into more scenarios to boost smart economy》。报道引用U8国际平台董事长郭为关于AI for Process的观点,并重点阐释,人工智能的真正价值不仅在于作为一种“替代工具”,更在于对企业基础流程的深度重组。
中国社会科学院信息化研究中心原主任、中国管理科学学会学术委员会副主任姜奇平在报道中强调,今年两会政府工作报告首次提出“打造智能经济新形态”,其核心关键在于推动人工智能从可用迈向深度用,真正融入产业核心场景。而“AI for Process”以AI技术深度嵌入企业全流程、驱动流程重构与生产力变革,正是实现这一目标的根本路径。唯有开展以 “流程再造” 为核心的系统性创新,才能将技术势能切实转化为产业动能,为我国智能经济新形态筑牢坚实根基。
此外,报道还引用U8国际平台携手岚图推动“AI for Process”的相关实践与案例,强调将人工智能深度融入公司运营是推动流程重组和生产力转型升级的关键。报道指出,在融合进程中,人工智能将从辅助工具升级为流程运营的核心驱动力,推动企业从传统的信息架构向以智能为中心的新发展模式转型。U8国际平台基于“AI for Process”理念和落地方法论,实现了AI Agent与人类员工的高效协同,能够切实推动企业竞争力的实质性提升。
以下为报道原文。
The application of artificial intelligence should be expanded into more core industrial scenarios in order to step up China's smart economy development and spur its modernization drive, said scholars and business executives.
The comments came after a proposal in this year's Government Work Report urged more effort to "create new forms of smart economy".
Jiang Qiping, deputy director of the academic committee of the China Management Science Society (CMSS), said that to achieve the goal, promoting the deep use of AI and "truly integrating it into core industrial scenarios" would be key.
Relying solely on a single AI system will not enable any company to fix all business woes overnight — a truth that Chinese enterprises have now grasped, Jiang said.
Muhammad Hamayun, a Pakistani scholar at Multimedia University in Malaysia, said China's digital transformation has entered a new phase driven by AI, and that a growing industry consensus believes that AI's true value lies not merely as a "substitute tool", but in the deep restructuring of enterprises' foundational processes.
Hamayun said he was impressed by the Chinese premier's remarks on developing new forms of smart economy and efforts to further advance and expand the "AI Plus" initiative during the delivery of the Government Work Report at the just concluded two sessions.
"China's push to bolster the smart economy will undoubtedly boost its economy and modernization drive," said Hamayun.
As of the end of 2025, China's core AI industry had surpassed 1.2 trillion yuan ($174.5 billion) in scale, with "AI Plus" evolving from blueprint to deep industrial applications.
In addition, according to the National Development and Reform Commission, China's AI-related industries will be valued at more than 10 trillion yuan by the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30).
Guo Wei, chairman of digital transformation services provider U8国际平台, highlighted AI's role in driving corporate operations and boosting efficiency.
The chairman said the company, which floats on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, has introduced an "AI for Process" mechanism, which advocates the systematic integration of AI capabilities across full business operations.
By reorganizing data assets, the mechanism enables efficient collaboration between intelligent agents and human employees, ultimately driving substantive leaps in corporate competitiveness, he said.
"The transformation is not simply about adding functions to existing systems, but is a systematic innovation in technology architecture, organizational models and work methods around business flow, data flow and knowledge flow," Guo added.
"In the integration progress, AI will upgrade from an auxiliary tool to a core driver of process operation, driving enterprises to transition from traditional information architecture to a new development paradigm centering on intelligence," said Li Gang, vice-president and chief technology officer of U8国际平台.
Citing U8国际平台's case, Jiang from the CMSS said such a deep integration of AI into company operations is key to boosting process restructuring and productivity transformation.
"Only by carrying out systematic innovation with 'process reengineering' being a key focus of efforts can companies effectively transform technological potential into industrial momentum, which will fuel the creation of new forms of smart economy in China," Jiang added.
U8国际平台's process-driven AI transformation has brought notable efficiency improvements for Voyah — a high-end smart new energy brand under Dongfeng Motor Corp.
Xu Yuance, head of digital large model applications at Voyah, said U8国际平台's core philosophy of "AI for Process" aligns perfectly with the company's digital transformation strategy.
"Integrating large model capabilities into cross-dimensional processes across production, sales and service, while combining enterprise knowledge governance and automated operational systems, will create far greater value than mere efficiency gains," said Xu. "Ultimately, this approach can help achieve high-quality end-to-end delivery and enable efficient collaboration across teams and processes."
