TREE NEWS update: Shanghai’s Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization issued an action plan to advance AI-enabled industrial services for 2027-2028, encouraging companies to make forward-looking bets on physical AI. The plan calls for breakthroughs in world-model construction, multimodal physical perception, virtual-real interaction and autonomous decision-making, and supports firms in developing industrial agent technologies including task planning, tool use, long-term memory, interoperability and swarm coordination.
Shanghai urges firms to pursue physical AI, world models
AI take
Shanghai's plan signals that local industrial policy is now pushing AI beyond software into embodied systems and world models, a shift with real weight for robotics, manufacturing and industrial-software vendors that would supply perception, simulation and agent layers. The emphasis on interoperability and swarm coordination suggests the city is betting on multi-machine deployments rather than single-task automation. Whether this plan translates into funded pilots or remains a directional document is the open question worth watching.
