In 2022, the two sessions of the National People’s Congress officially opened. Liu Qingfeng, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Iflytek Co.Ltd(002230) board of directors, submitted eight suggestions at the two sessions this year, focusing on how artificial intelligence can help the development of social undertakings such as education, medical treatment and elderly care, and further reduce the burden of childbirth.
suggestion 1: promote man-machine co education and man-machine co education, and formulate a new teaching and learning terminal standard for artificial intelligence
At present, in the process of accelerating the implementation of “double reduction”, all parts of the country are faced with a series of important challenges, such as “reducing the burden of teachers and students and improving the teaching quality; reducing daily examinations and evaluating the teaching effect; strengthening the main role of schools and taking into account the burden pressure of teachers”.
In recent years, China has made continuous innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, and more than 30 key core technologies have achieved systematic breakthroughs from 0 to 1, providing key technical support for the development of new teaching and learning terminals enabled by artificial intelligence technology. More than 20 cities, districts and counties across the country, including Bengbu, Anhui, Qingdao West Coast new area, Wuhan Economic Development Zone and Wuhua District of Kunming, have used new teaching and learning terminals in the overall promotion of smart education, and achieved remarkable results in “reducing the burden on teachers and students and teaching students according to their aptitude”.
Therefore, Liu Qingfeng suggested that the Ministry of education should take the lead in strengthening the work guidance and popularization of new teaching and learning terminals in the front line of schools.
The specific contents are as follows:
1. It is suggested that the Ministry of education and the Ministry of industry and information technology, together with industry associations and leading enterprises, formulate terminal key technologies and product standards and determine inspection and detection methods.
2. It is suggested that the Ministry of education should clearly allocate funds in the catalogue of centralized procurement of departments in the education system to ensure that there is a clear financial guarantee for all localities to promote the popularization of new teaching and learning terminals. At the same time, the financial support for the construction of compulsory schools in rural areas will be included in the scope of the measures for the management of funds for the transformation of less developed rural areas.
3. It is suggested that the Ministry of education encourage all localities to actively explore diversified financial, family and school capital investment to accelerate the popularization of new teaching and learning terminals. At the same time, we will summarize the excellent practices of using social resources to promote the popularization of new teaching and learning terminals throughout the country, and publicize and guide them nationwide.
suggestion 2: using artificial intelligence to strengthen the full-scale screening of adolescent depression and incorporate it into the national medical insurance
In recent years, depression in China has tended to be younger. According to the Chinese national mental health development report (20192020) released by the Institute of psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2021, the detection rate of depression among Chinese adolescents is 24.6%, including 7.4% of severe depression.
Adolescent depression has a high recurrence rate and disability rate, which has serious harm. However, there are still challenges in the current treatment of depression, such as the shortage of professional psychiatrists, the serious resistance of patients to see a doctor, and the high amount of diagnosis and rehabilitation.
To this end, Liu Qingfeng suggested:
1. Under the leadership of the Ministry of education, research and release the special program for adolescent mental health education to promote the all-round and healthy development of the six education of “morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and effort” of adolescents.
2. The Ministry of education and the National Health Commission will jointly lead the establishment of a mental health service platform and an intelligent depression screening platform to conduct full-scale screening for primary and secondary schools across the country.
3. Led by the national and local medical insurance bureaus, depression and psychological counseling will be included in the chronic diseases in the medical insurance outpatient service.
suggestion 3: suggestions on using artificial intelligence technology to help forge the awareness of the Chinese national community
Xi Jinping General Secretary stressed the need to continuously consolidate the great unity of all ethnic groups with the main line of forging a strong sense of the Chinese national community. The Ministry of education pointed out that schools should take improving commonality as the direction, strengthen the promotion and popularization of the national common language, and strengthen the close integration of the awareness education of the Chinese nation community and the moral education in primary and secondary schools. At present, the continuous breakthrough of artificial intelligence technology can effectively solve the problem of insufficient teachers in national unity and language learning.
Relying on the core technology of artificial intelligence and with the strong support of Anhui Xinjiang aid headquarters, Iflytek Co.Ltd(002230) in 2020, focusing on the two major projects of improving the national common language and enriching the exclusive resources of the awareness of the Chinese national community, an intelligent education program has been built to strengthen the awareness of the Chinese national community, which has been normally applied in 266 primary and secondary schools and kindergartens in Pishan county. Over the past year, the average score of Putonghua simulation test of teachers in the county has increased by 24%, the score rate of children’s oral evaluation has increased by 18.8% year-on-year, and the effectiveness index of casting the awareness of the Chinese national community in Pishan county has increased by 21% year-on-year.
Therefore, Liu Qingfeng suggested that the application of artificial intelligence technology in the promotion and popularization of the national common language should be strengthened, and the application of artificial intelligence technology in the education of casting the awareness of the Chinese national community should be strengthened, including:
1. It is suggested that the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of education should build a national common language teaching platform through various organizational forms, increase financial investment, and rely on artificial intelligence and Internet technology to help the people of all ethnic groups quickly improve the application level of the national common language.
2. It is suggested that the central United Front Work Department and the central Xinjiang office take the lead in the Ministry of education to promote the “Pishan model” to ethnic minority areas as soon as possible in the form of on-site meetings.
suggestion 4: suggestions on accelerating artificial intelligence chronic disease management and deeply implementing the healthy China strategy
The number of chronic patients in China has exceeded 300 million, and the burden of chronic diseases accounts for more than 70% of China’s total disease burden. With the acceleration of population aging, the proportion of patients with chronic diseases, especially elderly patients with chronic diseases, is rising. The huge group of chronic diseases not only imposes a huge burden on basic public health, but also increases the operation pressure of medical insurance fund.
In the field of primary medical care and public health services, artificial intelligence technology is playing an increasingly significant enabling role, which provides a new idea for solving the problem of chronic disease management in China’s “aging society”.
Liu Qingfeng suggested that accelerating the application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of chronic disease management can not only effectively improve the service ability of family doctors, but also provide residents with refined and personalized services, improve residents’ sense of access to health care and happiness, and alleviate the operation pressure of medical insurance funds of county medical institutions.
Specific recommendations are as follows:
1. It is suggested that the National Health Commission hold a national on-site meeting in Anhui Based on the achievements of intelligent medical assistants in improving grass-roots diagnosis and treatment ability and chronic disease management service quality.
2. It is suggested that the National Health Commission incorporate intelligent voice outbound call as a means of public health service into the national basic public health service specification.
3. It is suggested that the National Health Commission and the medical insurance bureau issue the evaluation standards and assessment requirements of relevant management specifications related to the application of artificial intelligence chronic disease management, and include the fine chronic disease management services of grass-roots artificial intelligence into the medical insurance charging catalogue.
suggestion 5: suggestions on promoting mutual recognition of examination results among medical institutions and promoting healthy China strategy
A survey conducted by the social investigation center of China Youth Daily showed that 73.0% of the respondents had experienced repeated examinations in different hospitals, and 70.1% of the respondents expected mutual recognition of hospital examination results; For the mutual recognition of medical examination results, 58.8% of the respondents believed that it was conducive to the rational and effective use of medical resources.
Liu Qingfeng introduced that Anhui Province has taken the lead in promoting the mutual recognition of image examination results in the early stage. Anhui image cloud platform has realized the networking of 1368 medical institutions in the province, with a networking rate of 77.11%, and a total of 2.45 million cases of remote image diagnosis. Through digital imaging services, reducing the repeated inspection by 30% can save about 6 billion yuan of imaging inspection cost every year.
Liu Qingfeng believes that the application of digital imaging technology to medical examination and quality control is to further improve the efficiency of medical examination and quality control based on the results of different imaging and intelligent examination, so as to further reduce the burden of medical examination and quality control It is a practical way to alleviate the repeated expenditure of medical insurance expenses and comprehensively contribute to China’s health strategy.
Specific recommendations include:
1. It is suggested that the National Health Commission should take the lead to establish a standard system for quality control of examination results assisted by artificial intelligence for mutual recognition of image examination results, so as to speed up the implementation of mutual recognition of examination results.
2. It is suggested that the National Health Commission should take the lead in promoting Anhui experience throughout the country, accelerate the construction and application promotion of digital image service platform, and accelerate the interconnection of landing image examination results.
suggestion 6: use artificial intelligence technology to accelerate the protection of the elderly
During the 14th Five Year Plan period, China’s elderly population over 60 will exceed 300 million, and will move from a mild aging society to a moderately aging society. At present, China’s elderly care service and security have been continuously improved, and the social welfare system has been increasingly improved. All localities are actively carrying out innovation in various types of science and technology services suitable for the elderly, but there is still room for improvement in aging services, intelligent health care and emotional companionship of the elderly.
In the face of the coming aging society, making full use of advanced technologies such as intelligence and referring to the exploration experience of some regions, Liu Qingfeng puts forward the following suggestions:
1. In view of the shortage of elderly care personnel, accelerate the transformation of the achievements of health care Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) and play a greater role in rehabilitation training and safety monitoring.
2. Promote the research on the company Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) special subject, especially strengthen scientific and technological innovation and product support, improve the happiness index of the elderly and realize company care.
3. Replace age constraints with health status, expand the supply of cultural services and fitness services for the elderly, and create a benign atmosphere of giving preferential treatment to the elderly.
suggestion 7. Give play to the advantages of 5g + AI and take the lead in developing barrier free intelligent communication services in the world
One belt, one road to communication, is the most important support for the strategy of the whole region and the community of human destiny. In recent years, under the guidance of the “new infrastructure” strategy, China’s information and communication industry has achieved leapfrog development. At present, China has built the world’s largest 5g network.
Liu Qingfeng pointed out that the combination of multilingual translation technology and 5g network can take the lead in building the “human Babel Tower” of barrier free communication in China. Without downloading any app, users can rely on 5g network and intelligent translation technology to realize cross language barrier free video phone on general mobile phone.
In order to promote China’s 5g + AI barrier free intelligent communication to take the lead in building and serving people’s livelihood around the world, he put forward suggestions:
1. Led by the national development and Reform Commission and supported by the Ministry of industry and information technology and the central network information office, barrier free intelligent communication is included in the category of 5g new infrastructure to create a digital intelligent “base” for barrier free communication. Guide telecom operators and leading artificial intelligence enterprises to cooperate together, give full play to the advantages of 5g and artificial intelligence in China, and form a 5g + AI multiplier effect.
2. The Ministry of industry and information technology took the lead in jointly formulating 5g + AI barrier free intelligent communication industry standards with industry associations, telecom operators and leading artificial intelligence enterprises. Actively promote international cooperation and lead the development of global barrier free intelligent communication industry with standards.
3. The Ministry of civil affairs, China Disabled Persons’ Federation and telecom operators have studied and issued policies to reduce the charges for disabled people to use barrier free communication services, reduce the threshold for disabled people to obtain and use, and help them enjoy technological dividends.
4. The national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of industry and information technology and the Ministry of finance have set up special projects to support the promotion and application of barrier free communication in ethnic areas, promote exchanges among ethnic groups and forge a strong Chinese national community.
suggestion VIII. Suggestions on reducing parenting costs, realizing the “home school community” co parenting mechanism and further reducing the reproductive burden
In order to actively respond to the aging population, since 2021, the state and local governments have intensively introduced policies to encourage fertility, and all localities have successively started the revision of population and family planning regulations. According to incomplete statistics, maternity leave has been extended to 158 days in 26 provinces (cities) and parental leave has been added.
Liu Qingfeng believes that in order to implement the policy of encouraging fertility and build a “fertility friendly society”, in addition to optimizing fertility welfare, it is also necessary to make good use of the economic “baton” to create conditions for women’s career development and fertility feeding, further reduce the cost of fertility, parenting and education, and mobilize the enthusiasm of employers to support fertility and young people’s willingness to give birth.
Specific recommendations are as follows:
1. The Ministry of human resources and social security takes the lead in establishing a special mechanism to promote the career development of reproductive women, so as to reduce the worries of working women after childbirth.
2. The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of civil affairs will increase support and subsidies for employers to set up nursery institutions, so as to promote the healthy and orderly development of enterprise parks.
3. The Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation will make the special additional deduction of individual income tax cover the families of children aged 0-3 as soon as possible, so as to reduce the economic burden of family child care.
4. The Ministry of education and the Ministry of industry and information technology jointly promote the application of artificial intelligence in education and reduce the time and economic burden of parents for their children’s education.
