When future industries deviate from the normal development path, the public can correct them, exert pressure in conjunction with the government and industry associations, effectively supervise and regulate improper behavior, so that scientific and technological innovation achievements truly meet the new needs of the public, effectively enhancing social welfare.

“人工智能+”行动有助于实现多方参与的未来产业数字创新生态的有效治理。“人工智能+”行动作为一种新型科技创新组织模式，以脑机接口、生物制造、未来显示、深地深海等未来产业渗透医疗、教育、能源、文化等领域，吸引更为广泛的社会公众加入数字创新生态中，在创造经济价值的同时带来社会效益。当未来产业偏离正常发展路径时，社会公众可以进行纠偏，联合政府和行业协会等施加压力，有效监督和规范不当行为，使科技创新成果真正契合社会公众新的需求，有效提升社会福祉。

It should be noted that current future industries are in an incubation stage, and a comprehensive risk identification system and regulatory mechanism for future industries have not yet been established. In the process of promoting the "AI Plus" action to cultivate future industries, a risk assessment system for AI applications and a review system for scientific and technological ethics should be established and improved, legislation on AI should be accelerated, to ensure a positive interaction between technological innovation and economic and social benefits in future industries, and to promote the steady advancement of future industries toward high-quality development.

需要注意的是，当前未来产业正处于孕育阶段，尚未建立完善的未来产业风险识别体系和监管机制。在推动“人工智能+”行动培育未来产业的过程中，应建立健全人工智能应用的风险研判系统和科技伦理的审查制度，加快推进人工智能立法，保障未来产业的科技创新与经济社会效益之间的良性互动，推动未来产业稳步迈向高质量发展。
