Abstract: The “Stargate Project” launched by the United States aims to accelerate the research and development process of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) through deep integration of government, enterprises, and research institutions, thereby consolidating its position as a technology leader. This plan has enlightening significance for China’s strategic planning and layout, public-private cooperation and collaborative innovation, infrastructure construction, talent cultivation and introduction. This plan poses significant challenges to the development of China’s AI sector, manifested in the further tightening of technology blockades, intensifying international market competition, and fierce competition for high-end AI talents. In response to these challenges, China should adopt a multi-pronged approach, break through core technology bottlenecks, increase investment in research and development, guide close cooperation among industry, academia, and research, and encourage diversified innovation; improve the industrial ecosystem, accelerate the integration of AI with various industries, and support the development of enterprises; refine the policy and regulatory framework, strengthen safety and security capabilities, and ensure the healthy development of AI; build a talent highland, optimize the talent cultivation system, and attract the return and settlement of overseas high-end talents; actively participate in the formulation of international rules, expand international cooperation space, and enhance China’s voice and depth of cooperation in the global AI field.
