THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE FORMATION OF THE DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM OF INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES

摘要

This article is devoted to the study of the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the formation and development of digital ecosystems of industrial enterprises in China in the context of the formation of an innovative economy of the XXI century. The author gives a detailed definition of the concept of the digital ecosystem of an industrial enterprise, reveals its key characteristics, structural elements and principles of functioning. Special attention is paid to the analysis of AI as an integrating and optimizing component of industrial ecosystems. The article provides an overview of the key areas of application of AI solutions in various functional areas of modern industrial enterprises in China. Based on the study of representative cases of AI implementation by leading Chinese companies, the author identifies such main vectors as intelligent automation and robotization of production, predictive analytics and optimization based on the industrial Internet of Things, computer vision for quality control and security, natural language processing to create intelligent user interfaces, the use of machine learning algorithms to solve various business problems.tasks. The article shows that the introduction of AI allows Chinese enterprises to significantly increase the efficiency, flexibility and customer-centricity of production and management processes, achieve synergy from the interaction of cyber-physical systems, robots, sensors and intelligent algorithms. At the same time, the author notes that the broad integration of AI into China’s industrial ecosystems is associated with a number of challenges, such as the shortage of qualified AI specialists, the need for largescale infrastructure modernization, cybersecurity risks, ethical problems of replacing humans with machines, and the potential growth of technological unemployment. To overcome them, a balanced government policy aimed at the safe and responsible development of industrial AI is necessary. In conclusion, the author predicts that while maintaining the current pace of industrial intellectualization, China will make the transition to the widespread use of AI solutions in key industries in the next decade, which will open up huge opportunities for productivity growth and economic competitiveness. At the same time, China’s experience in creating AI-centric industrial ecosystems can serve as a guide for other countries seeking technological leadership in the new industrial revolution.
