In a dazzling display of technology and creativity, 400 robots performed synchronized movements and hip-hop dances, marking the opening act of the CCTV science challenge show "Tactic People" in its first season. This event showcased China's cutting-edge AI achievements, including the Fuxing high-speed train, the Mars rover, the Skyhawk drone, and the neurosurgical navigation robot—each symbolizing China’s speed, height, strength, and warmth. The program not only entertained but also highlighted the rapid progress of artificial intelligence in the country.
The show featured a unique concept called “human-machine battle,†where top AI technologies such as facial recognition were put to the test against human capabilities. This reflected the growing interest in AI during 2017, which was recognized as a key innovation in Chinese culture. According to the "Blue Book of Network Positive Energy Dissemination," AI ranked first among innovative Chinese buzzwords, while the character “智†(meaning intelligence) was chosen as the international word of the year in the "Chinese Counting 2017" event. AI has become more than just a technological trend—it's shaping China’s economy, society, and daily life.
From the 2017 Government Work Report to the State Council's release of the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" in July 2017, and later the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s Three-Year Action Plan for AI development (2018–2020), AI remained a central focus throughout the year. At the industrial level, major tech companies launched their own AI strategies, and numerous unicorn startups emerged. In November 2017, the Ministry of Science and Technology announced the first batch of national AI open innovation platforms, covering areas like autonomous driving, smart cities, medical imaging, and intelligent voice.
The popularity of "Tactic People" reflects both national policy directions and market trends in creative fields. The show sparked deep discussions about the relationship between humans and AI. During the 4th World Internet Conference in late 2017, the theme "AI will serve people better" became a hot topic. Many industry leaders shifted from focusing solely on technology and business models to exploring the philosophical implications of AI development.
What is the logic behind AI’s growth? The "Plan" clearly states that AI should be centered on human sustainable development. Developing human-centered AI requires more than just government policies or corporate efforts—it needs active participation from society as a whole. Establishing AI laws, ethical standards, and policy frameworks is essential to ensure responsible and beneficial development. In this context, popular science and literary works like "Tactic People" play an increasingly important role.
As we move into 2018, AI is expected to grow even hotter. While the dream of machines thinking like humans may one day become reality, the idea of humans thinking like machines raises concerns. To prevent such scenarios, continuous human innovation and critical thinking are essential.
Steel pole is a long cylindrical structure made of steel that is commonly used for a variety of purposes, such as supporting structures, supporting wires or as a decorative element in landscaping. Steel rods are known for their durability, strength, and corrosion resistance, making them a popular choice for outdoor applications. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes depending on the specific requirements of the project.
