　　"Ten years ago, when I first attended the CPPCC meeting, the Internet was still a relatively small thing. At that time, as long as the 'Internet' was mentioned in the government work report once, we would all feel very excited and feel that the country finally paid attention to the Internet. "Speaking of this, Li Yanhong's tone became excited.

　　"After 10 years of development, digital economic forms such as the Internet now account for more than 30% of China's total economy. As a practitioner, I feel both a great responsibility and a great excitement." Robin Li said.

　　"The second key word is AI." In 2015, when Li Yanhong spoke at the plenary session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he mentioned the concept of "Chinese brain". At that time, he hoped to have a national-level AI supercomputing center.

　　"Now, although it has not yet formed, local supercomputing centers have begun to appear in places such as Beishangshen and other places, and their development goals are very consistent with the idea of ​​'Chinese brain'. This also makes me feel that my advice has been well received. Good response." He said that in recent years, whether it is the government work report or the "14th Five-Year" development plan, etc., it is obvious that China is paying more and more attention to the development of AI.

　　Some institutions predict that in 2024, China's share of the global artificial intelligence market will reach 15.6%, becoming an important driving force for global market growth.

Robin Li is also full of expectations for the development prospects of AI in China.

This year, he also focused on the development prospects of AI in China and put forward proposals on intelligent transportation, hoping to improve the efficiency and safety of social transportation in the future.

　　"The last key word is responsibility." Li Yanhong said.

　　In terms of technology, Robin Li said that the Internet industry has a history of more than 20 years in China, and it has indeed gradually entered a mature stage. "In the next step, Internet development needs to be driven by technological innovation and innovation at the business model level. In the future, new technologies Innovation will bring new development opportunities for China's Internet industry."

　　In terms of supervision, Robin Li emphasized that the Internet industry has entered a stage of stable development and requires market supervision to keep up.

"Whether it is anti-monopoly or preventing the disorderly expansion of capital, I support it. This will enable the Internet industry to develop in a more healthy, efficient and fair manner. We also maintain close communication with relevant departments, strictly follow relevant suggestions and regulations, and actively Maintain the ecological environment of the Internet community.”

　　Li Yanhong said that the role of a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference can temporarily escape the perspective of "company CEO" and think about social development issues from the national level.

He also revealed that during the performance of his duties, a team will be specially organized to conduct research, and behind each proposal, the efforts of many people in the team are gathered.

He was also very pleased when each proposal received a detailed response from the relevant state departments.
