To thoroughly implement major national strategic needs such as maritime power, digital China, and artificial intelligence, the China Ship Scientific Research Center and China Telecom Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (TeleAI) recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Huang Zhiyong, Deputy General Manager of China Telecom, and Zhao Tongbin, Deputy General Manager of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, attended the ceremony and witnessed the signing. Ye Cong, Director of the China Ship Scientific Research Center, and Li Xuelong, President of the China Telecom Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, signed the agreement.
The two parties will collaborate on key technologies including AI Flow, embodied intelligence, world models, water-related optics, and water-related vision in the fields of ships and marine engineering. Their common goal is to accelerate the deep integration and innovation of artificial intelligence with the ship, marine, and underwater equipment sectors, further empowering the integrated development of air-space-ground-sea networks and the intelligent marine operations industry.
The ocean is a strategic frontier for high-quality development, and global ocean development is continuously expanding into deep and distant sea areas. The China Ship Scientific Research Center hopes to cooperate with TeleAI in the field of artificial intelligence to carry out cutting-edge technological innovation, jointly promote the innovative development of marine equipment, expand the boundaries of deep-sea development capabilities, foster new dimensions of industrial development, and provide core momentum for building a modern intelligent marine engineering system and seizing strategic opportunities in marine development.
The deep integration of artificial intelligence and marine engineering is a core lever for developing new marine productive forces and building a maritime power. With the support of the China Telecom Group, TeleAI aims to further promote and validate the application of cutting-edge AI technologies such as AI Flow, embodied intelligence, and world models in scenarios including marine exploration, offshore operations and maintenance, and deep-sea development through in-depth cooperation with the China Ship Scientific Research Center. This will address shortcomings in traditional engineering efficiency, strengthen China’s technological competitive barriers in the deep blue domain, and provide core technical support for marine resource security and the construction of a smart ocean.
The two parties will further deepen talent cultivation, jointly build an exchange platform integrating theoretical research, technical practice, and capability enhancement, and regularly hold special lectures, technical seminars, and academic forums to promote the iteration of cutting-edge theories and the sharing of engineering experience.
