At the turn of spring and summer, nature is full of vitality and ready for new prospects.
As the region with the highest talent density, strongest innovation foundation, most comprehensive key elements, largest industrial scale, and greatest competitiveness in the AI field nationwide, Beijing aims to "take the lead in building an AI-native city" and strives to "become a globally influential base of AI innovation and applications."
As a state-owned enterprise (SOE) in the capital, BSAM actively implements the Beijing Action Plan for Advancing "AI+" (2024-2025) and Special Action Plan for "AI+" in Municipal SOEs (2024-2025) of the SASAC of Beijing Municipality. By leveraging its rich industrial resources, it adopts multiple measures to boost the high-quality development of AI industry in Beijing .
Deep Involvement: Streamlining the AI Application Chain
Data, algorithms and computing power are three core elements of AI. With the strengths in information and digital industries, BSAM deeply engages in data circulation and utilization, vertical-specific large model R&D and application, fostering the construction of AI ecosystem.
By the end of March 2025, BSAM established Beijing Data Network Co., Ltd to build and operate a value-added collaborative network for data circulation and utilization, which is the core work of data infrastructure pilot constructed by Beijing Municipality for the National Data Administration (NDA). Through various technical road-maps, such as data markets, blockchain, privacy-preserving computation and trusted data spaces, this network aims to solve challenges in trusted circulation and supply-demand matching of high-quality data, ensuring the massive data can be "supplied," "flowed," and "utilized" well. Firstly, since data is generated by massive individuals, the traditional centralized physical storage has extremely high cost and low circulation efficiency, while the collaborative network employs the decentralized storage to facilitate data access when maintaining distributed storage; it also couples with centralized operations by sector/region, creating an interconnected "online supermarket" for data resources. Once the data is released, it can be retrieved all over the network; the services such as connecting, processing, trading, signing or delivery can be provided to make such data "available". Secondly, to address certain concerns, such as the easy misuse of private data, the blockchain and privacy computing technologies are introduced to create a "secure space" where data users can only access data within authorized scope; moreover, with traceable usage records, it enables that high-value "dormant" data due to unclear ownership and security concerns can be circulated. Finally, it fosters a thriving ecosystem all round where suppliers, demanders, brokers and annotators could collaborate in the trusted environment, enabling multi-party matching and end-to-end transactions. By the end of April, over 3,000 data products had been issued in the collaborative network, covering the public data, materials, culture/tourism, transportation and spatial fields, etc. The small-scale applications came into being. As scheduled, the main function of platform will be completed by the end of 2026 with aims to connect over 10,000 entities and launch over 30,000 data products, providing strong high-quality data support for AI industry.
Beijing Certification Authorities (BJCA) intensifies R&D to provide secure and trusted environments for AI ecosystem. It participated in drafting the national standard for "Trusted Data Space Technical Architecture," developed products for trusted data space identity and identification system based on commercial cryptography, such as unified identity authentication and key management systems; it also created the "Kunmi" platform based on the trusted execution environments of domestic chips with the commercial password certification obtained, which facilitates the development of trusted data-space connectors and the application of privacy computing.
CAPINFO aims to become a "leading smart city and data operator." Based on general models like DeepSeek-R1, it developed the "Hongdi" vertical-specific large model, which has been applied in healthcare insurance and government services. For example, the "Medical Insurance Digital Agent" enables natural language interaction and seamless processing for users; the "Housing Fund Digital Agent" effectively enhances service efficiency for customers via large language models.
Empowering Growth: Driving AI Industry Upgrade
As a foundational and driving technology, AI is leading the new wave of industrial transformation. BSAM leverages its resources in culture/sports, financial services, and tech parks to fully support the integration of AI with real economy.
