During his research visit to Guangzhou on the development of the artificial intelligence industry, Meng Fanli emphasized: Accelerate high-level applications across all regions, all times, and all industries to fully promote the high-quality development of the artificial intelligence industry.
According to Mars Finance, Meng Fanli, Deputy Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Guangdong Province, visited several artificial intelligence (AI) companies in Guangzhou. He emphasized the need to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches and instructions on Guangdong and Guangzhou, and to earnestly implement the deployments of the Guangdong Symposium on Accelerating the Development of the New Mechatronics Industry and the Guangdong AI Application Matching Conference. He stressed the importance of using more powerful and effective "policies + work" to fully promote the high-quality development of the AI industry and its high-level application across all regions, industries, and sectors, thereby accelerating the cultivation and development of new productive forces. Meng Fanli pointed out that global AI is currently experiencing explosive growth, and Guangdong possesses a strong industrial foundation, rich application scenarios, and a vibrant innovation ecosystem, making its AI industry development promising and highly valuable. He stressed the need to firmly grasp AI as a crucial driving force for the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, vigorously promote its rapid development and application, better empower various industries, bring it into every household, and drive high-quality development. We must fully leverage the advantages of mechatronics and hardware-software synergy, strengthen research and development of key core technologies and the transformation of research results in artificial intelligence, continuously attract investment and talent from across the country and globally, accelerate the strengthening of the entire artificial intelligence industry chain including chips, computing power, algorithms, data, and applications, cultivate a number of large-scale models in vertical fields and small-scale models for specific scenarios, develop and launch more industrial intelligent agents and life intelligent agents, and create a group of leading enterprises with outstanding technical strength, industry influence, and independent ecosystem construction capabilities. We must deepen and expand "AI+", adhering to full coverage, all-time response, and full industry penetration, comprehensively reviewing and fully developing all possible application scenarios in various fields such as intelligent manufacturing, smart parks, smart cities, smart healthcare, and smart transportation, especially accelerating the digital transformation of industrial enterprises, promoting the coordinated development of manufacturing and service industries, and better empowering the construction of a modern industrial system. We must create a first-class industrial ecosystem, comprehensively optimize policy supply, strengthen the guarantee of various factors such as finance, innovation, and talent, improve the artificial intelligence governance system, and promote the integration of large, medium, and small enterprises, upstream and downstream matching, and front-end and back-end closed loops in artificial intelligence development, creating a first-class environment and providing optimal services for high-quality industrial development.

Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security: By 2030, the large-scale model of the human resources and social security industry will be mature and complete, and the artificial intelligence application system will be basically sound.
According to Mars Finance, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the National Data Administration recently jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Application and Development of 'Artificial Intelligence + Human Resources and Social Security'". A relevant official from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security answered reporters' questions regarding the "Implementation Opinions". In terms of promoting the work, a three-step work goal will be achieved within five years. First, building the foundation. Taking this year (2026) as a benchmark, the initial formation of the artificial intelligence application system, standard system, and guarantee system in the human resources and social security sector will be promoted. The infrastructure for "Artificial Intelligence + Human Resources and Social Security" applications will be deployed, a number of high-performance human resources and social security industry large-scale models and intelligent agent applications will be cultivated, and about 20 application scenarios based on human resources and social security industry large-scale models and corresponding high-quality datasets will be created, forming a collaborative development ecosystem of computing power, models, data, and scenario applications. Second, popularization and promotion. By 2027, a number of human resources and social security industry large-scale models and intelligent agents will be widely applied, and about 50 high-value application scenario empowerment paths will be explored, achieving significant results in intelligent development. Third, widespread application. By 2030, high-quality datasets will be effectively supplied, large-scale models for the human resources and social security industry will be mature and complete, and the artificial intelligence application system will be basically sound, forming an innovative landscape where artificial intelligence is widely applied in the human resources and social security sector.

SpaceX's IPO drives record-breaking tokenized stock trading, with on-chain transaction volume reaching $3.86 billion in June.
According to Odaily, driven by the buzz surrounding SpaceX's initial public offering (IPO), the tokenized stock market saw record trading activity in June, with on-chain transaction volume reaching $3.86 billion, a 145% increase from May. Of this, tokenized SpaceX stock accounted for $1.19 billion, representing approximately 31% of the total tokenized stock trading volume in June. Backpack Securities' SPCX token became the most actively traded SpaceX tokenized stock product, with a single-month on-chain transaction volume of $1.08 billion. Data shows that this round of growth was primarily driven by demand for SpaceX-related assets. SpaceX previously completed a record-breaking $75 billion IPO, valuing the company at approximately $1.8 trillion on a fully diluted basis. While traditionally popular assets such as Nvidia, Tesla, the S&P 500 ETF (SPY), and the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) remained actively traded, none reached the market enthusiasm of SpaceX's tokenized shares. Furthermore, the total market capitalization of tokenized shares rose to $1.53 billion in June, a 6.64% increase from the previous month, marking the 15th consecutive month of growth. (CoinDesk)
