Shanghai's Pudong New Area is striving to build a world-leading technology innovation center for artificial intelligence (AI), establishing the standard systems for AI and giving full play to the supporting and leading roles of standardization to promote high-quality economic and social development.

In 2021, it set up the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Standardization Technology Committee to develop a new generation of AI and metaverse standard systems. The committee has participated in the formulation of a number of national, local and group standards. Many AI enterprises in Pudong also play a key role in the process, such as Enflame, Alipay and Horizon Robotics.

Pudong is combining AI with six hardcore industries and has applied AI in fields such as medical care, finance, manufacturing and shipping. By the end of 2022, Pudong attracted more than 600 AI enterprises, and the scale of AI-related industries reached nearly 140 billion yuan($20.29 billion).

Pudong has allocated special funds to promote quality development and supports standardization organizations and activities.

The area is also improving the level of standardization through training. The online standardization training jointly organized by the Pudong New Area Market Supervision Bureau and the Shanghai AI Industry Association publicized policies on quality development and introduced mechanisms such as the "Shanghai Standards". 

Pudong is boosting industrial development by launching pilot projects in such areas as intelligent manufacturing, smart city construction and financial service security. It is also helping Shanghai Digital Industry Development Co to carry out a project on the innovation and standardization of digital governance in smart cities and build an enterprise standard system that integrates relevant scenarios and emerging technologies.
