Su Jian said that recently, Musk's launch of a starship has attracted global attention, and progress has been made in the fields of artificial intelligence, new energy, and 6G. This long cycle is significantly different from previous cycles. Humanity is about to enter a new era of artificial intelligence and a new space age. It will be unprecedented in terms of expanding the territory of human activities and expanding the limits of human intelligence and physical strength. How to understand and respond to such a scientific and technological revolution has become a major theoretical and practical issue facing China at present.

Chen Yanbin said that in the current era of new scientific and technological revolution, cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data are constantly emerging, affecting economic models, lifestyles and social structures. He introduced the newly established Institute of Digital Economics at Capital University of Economics and Business, and called on everyone to study the needs of Western economics to refine Chinese theories.

Economist Teng Tai said that the largest wealth giant in the world today is not a producer of material wealth, but a producer of information wealth. This brings challenges to traditional economics, which is reflected in the fact that theories such as production and distribution cannot well explain the digital economy. cycle. He proposed soft value economics, which used characteristics such as innovation functions and production uncertainty to characterize soft value and hard value, and demonstrated the use of this analytical framework to explain current economic phenomena.

"From this perspective, our country is basically out of the middle-income trap because China has greater innovation potential."

Zhang Wei, a professor at China University of Political Science and Law, said that in recent years, the government has introduced many policies for the digital transformation of enterprises, but whether the policy goals are achieved remains to be studied.

Major changes have taken place in the type and structure of products. China should strengthen the development and policy support of industrial software, comprehensively strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, and participate in the formulation of international technical standards.
