Accelerate the Intelligent Development of Military Political Work

As artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and other technologies deeply integrate with military political work, intelligent military political work has emerged as a product of the times. Promoting the intelligent development of military political work requires both adhering to the fundamental principles and laws of military political work and adapting to the technical characteristics of artificial intelligence, finding a scientifically efficient development path for our military’s intelligent political work through the two-way interaction and mutual construction of “intelligence + political work.”

随着人工智能、大数据、云计算等技术与军队政治工作深度融合，军队政治工作智能化应时而生。推进军队政治工作智能化建设既要遵循军队政治工作的根本原则和规律，又要适应人工智能的技术特点，在“智能+政工”的双向互动、彼此建构中，找到一条我军政治工作智能化的科学高效发展道路。

Promoting the Evolution from Informatized Political Work to Intelligent Political Work

推动政工信息化向智能化演进

President Xi Jinping’s important directive on “promoting the deep integration of the traditional advantages of political work with information technology” profoundly reveals the logical path of “technology + political work,” which is equally applicable to the intelligent development of military political work. Advancing the intelligent development of military political work requires coordinating the succession, integration, and superposition of traditional advantages, information technology, and intelligent technology, achieving an overall leap through deep convergence.

习近平主席关于“推动政治工作传统优势与信息技术高度融合”的重要指示精神，深刻揭示了“科技+政工”的逻辑路径，同样适用于军队政治工作智能化建设。推进军队政治工作智能化要统筹处理传统优势、信息技术与智能科技接续、交融、叠加的关系，在深度聚合中实现整体跃升。

Artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, with application features such as unmanned and autonomous operations becoming increasingly prominent. However, the intelligent development of military political work is not the unmannedization of political work, nor is it a weakening of the subjectivity of political work; rather, it is a combination of revolutionary spirit, humanistic spirit, technological rationality, and instrumental rationality. The fine traditions of our military’s political work contain a distinct political stance, advanced governance concepts, lofty revolutionary spirit, and excellent work style and discipline, which are a concentrated expression of the nature, purpose, and character of our Party and military. On the one hand, the intelligent development of military political work must clearly inherit the essence of fine traditions, passing down red genes such as obeying the Party’s command, the mass line [1]1 The mass line is a fundamental working method of the CPC, emphasizing that the Party should come from the masses, go to the masses, and serve the people wholeheartedly., and leading by example from generation to generation; on the other hand, it must consciously adapt to the comprehensive transformative effects that intelligent technology brings to the guidance methods, operational models, and means of political work, reforming and innovating thinking concepts, methods, and institutional regulations.

人工智能正在快速发展，无人化、自主化等应用特征日益突出。但军队政治工作智能化不是政治工作无人化，更不是对政治工作主体性的削弱，而是革命精神、人文精神与科技理性、工具理性的结合。我军政治工作优良传统蕴含着鲜明的政治立场、先进的治理理念、崇高的革命精神、优良的作风纪律，是我党我军性质、宗旨、本色的集中体现。军队政治工作智能化建设，一方面要旗帜鲜明继承优良传统的精髓，把听党指挥、群众路线、以身作则等红色基因代代传承下去；另一方面要自觉适应智能技术给政治工作指导方式、运行模式、方法手段带来的全方位变革效应，改革创新思维观念、方式方法和制度规定。

The informatization of military political work is the foundation for its intelligent development. Without the massive data, complete systems, and sufficient computing power provided by informatization, the intelligent development of military political work cannot achieve chain breakthroughs. Advancing the intelligent development of military political work requires overcoming core technologies in the informatization stage, improving various business information systems, and simultaneously embedding intelligent technologies in the processes of design, construction, maintenance, and upgrading, leveraging the penetrating and empowering role of artificial intelligence to optimize and adjust the original system processes, structures, and functions, driving the evolution of existing military political work information systems toward intelligence.

军队政治工作信息化是军队政治工作智能化的基础，没有信息化提供的政治工作海量数据、完善系统和充足算力，军队政治工作智能化不可能产生链式突破。推进军队政治工作智能化需要攻克信息化阶段的核心技术，完善各类业务信息系统，同时在设计、建设、维护、升级过程中嵌入智能技术，发挥人工智能的渗透赋能作用，对原有的系统流程、结构和功能进行优化调整，推动现有军队政治工作信息系统向智能化方向演化。

High-tech groups such as artificial intelligence, the internet, quantum technology, and brain science are bursting forth, with major breakthroughs possible at any time. Advancing the intelligent development of military political work requires, on the one hand, starting from reality and promptly introducing mature and applicable technologies such as user profiling, sentiment analysis, public opinion analysis, and intelligent generation into political work, taking solid steps toward intelligent transformation; on the other hand, it must not focus solely on the current level of technological development in construction but also conduct forward-looking planning and design, tracking and creating cutting-edge knowledge in specialized technologies for intelligent political work and related disciplines such as cognitive science, preventing projects that consume large amounts of time and funds from becoming obsolete upon completion, and always maintaining a technological advantage.

人工智能、互联网、量子科技、脑科学等高新技术群体迸发，重大突破随时可能发生。推进军队政治工作智能化，一方面要从现实出发，尽快把成熟适用的用户画像、情感分析、舆情分析、智能生成等技术引入政治工作，迈出智能化转型的坚实步伐；另一方面，不能只盯着眼前的技术发展水平搞建设，也要做好前瞻性规划设计，跟踪、创造政治工作智能化专用技术和认知科学等相关学科知识的前沿，防止耗费大量时间和资金的项目建成即落伍，始终保持技术优势。

Revitalizing the New Vitality of the Lifeline of Political Work

焕发政治工作生命线新活力

The intelligent development of military political work should emphasize system construction, data construction, and interconnectivity, systematically planning the overall layout of “data + computing power + models + ecology,” and promoting the evolution of the form of political work toward intelligent perception, intelligent decision-making, and intelligent control.

军队政治工作智能化建设要注重体系建设、数据建设和互联互通，系统规划“数据+算力+模型+生态”的总体布局，推动政治工作形态向智慧感知、智谋决策、智算控制演进。

Demand orientation, scenario traction, equal emphasis on construction and use, and promoting use through construction are the direct driving forces for advancing the intelligent development of military political work. In recent years, artificial intelligence has made significant progress in fields such as office work, education, entertainment, and healthcare. However, insufficient development of application scenarios remains an important practical factor limiting the implementation, maturation, and effectiveness of artificial intelligence. The intelligent development of military political work should target current capability shortcomings and prominent contradictions in work, precisely aligning demand sides such as ideological education, public opinion propaganda, and human resource management with relatively mature technology supply sides such as psychological computing, intelligent recommendation, knowledge graphs, and blockchain, carefully designing several typical application scenarios, gathering various forces, technologies, and resources to conduct collective research, using new application scenarios to drive technological innovation, process innovation, capability innovation, and combat method innovation, revitalizing the new vitality of the lifeline of political work.

需求导向、场景牵引，建用并重、以用促建，是推进军队政治工作智能化建设的直接动力。近几年，人工智能在办公、教育、娱乐、医疗等领域取得显著进展。但是，应用场景开发不够，仍然是限制人工智能落地、成熟、生效的重要现实因素。军队政治工作智能化建设应针对当前工作中的能力短板和突出矛盾，精准对接思想教育、舆论宣传、人资管理等需求侧和心理计算、智能推荐、知识图谱、区块链等比较成熟的技术供给侧，精心设计若干个典型应用场景，汇聚各种力量、技术和资源开展集智攻关，以新应用场景带动技术创新、流程创新、能力创新、战法创新，焕发政治工作生命线新活力。

Algorithms are strategic mechanisms for solving problems, the key to generating high added value from data, and the core of enhancing the effectiveness of military political work. Some views in the scientific and technological community hold that artificial intelligence research should not only seek theoretical foundations but also explore algorithms to achieve stronger intelligence, with algorithm innovation being the main theme—that is, methods and implementations come first, followed by theoretical explanations. Unlike data in other fields such as weaponry, equipment, and logistics support, data in military political work is data about people, possessing distinct social attributes, with very obvious characteristics of personalization, socialization, privacy, and ambiguity. How to build high-quality datasets for large model training in political work, how to apply algorithms such as search algorithms, knowledge representation and reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, and deep learning in ideological and political work, and how to create specialized algorithms suitable for military political work, processing and extracting knowledge from the ocean of data to form action strategies for political work—these have become new issues that the intelligent development of military political work must address.

算法是求解问题的策略机制，是让数据产生高附加值的关键，是军队政治工作效能跃升的核心。科技界有观点认为，人工智能研究既要寻求理论基础，更要探索实现更强智能的算法，而且算法创新是主旋律，即先有方法和实现、后有理论解释。与武器装备、后勤保障等其他领域的数据不同，军队政治工作数据是关于人的数据，具有鲜明的社会属性，个性化、社会化、隐私性、模糊性特征非常明显，如何建设用于大模型训练的政治工作高质量数据集，如何在思想政治工作中运用搜索算法、知识表示和推理、概率推理、深度学习等算法，如何创造适合军队政治工作的专门算法，从数据海洋中加工提炼出知识，进而形成政治工作的行动策略，成为军队政治工作智能化必须回答的崭新课题。

Intelligent computing infrastructure is the main carrier of computing power and an important resource and infrastructure supporting the intelligent development of military political work. Against the backdrop of the integrated development of mechanization, informatization, and intelligence, the exponential increase in military political work data requires the use of technologies and methods such as high-end chips, advanced storage, computing power scheduling, and storage-computing coordination, moderately forward-deploying infrastructure such as data centers, supercomputing, cloud computing, edge computing, and artificial intelligence computing centers, building a “cloud-edge-end” computing power resource deployment model, creating a comprehensive capability integrating information computing power, network carrying capacity, and data storage capacity, providing solid support for the deep, precise, and fast computation of big data in military political work, achieving widespread cloud-brain support, popularization of computing power resources, and universal access to excellent computing capabilities.

智能计算基础设施是算力的主要载体，是支撑军队政治工作智能化发展的重要资源和基础设施。在机械化信息化智能化融合发展的时代背景下，军队政治工作数据指数级增加，要求运用高端芯片、先进存储、算力调度、存算协同等技术和方式，适度超前布局数据中心、超算、云计算、边缘计算、人工智能计算中心等基础设施，建设“云—边—端”的算力资源部署模式，打造集信息计算力、网络运载力、数据存储力于一体的综合能力，为军队政治工作大数据的深算精算快算提供坚实支撑，实现云脑支持广泛化、算力资源大众化、妙算能力普惠化。

Consolidating the Unique Advantages of the People’s Military under Intelligent Conditions

巩固智能化条件下人民军队的独特优势

The intelligent development of military political work should leverage late-mover advantages, plan with a high starting point, integrate and innovate with high efficiency, and quickly transform the technological advantages of intelligence into the spiritual advantages of officers and soldiers, the decision-making advantages of Party committees, and the action advantages of troops.

军队政治工作智能化建设要用好后发优势，高起点规划设计，高效能融合创新，尽快把智能化的科技优势转化为官兵的精神优势、党委的决策优势、部队的行动优势。

Facing the surging wave of intelligence, major countries around the world are taking the lead in deploying, formulating artificial intelligence development plans, establishing special committees, continuously investing heavily, attracting high-tech talent, and promoting the deep integration of the intelligent industry with the defense field. The intelligent development of military political work is an important part of building a world-class military. It must not only keep up with the development trends of general artificial intelligence but also track technological progress in the field of specialized artificial intelligence; it must not only maintain sensitivity to developments in disciplines such as computer science, brain science, and mathematics but also pay attention to progress in related disciplines such as control science, linguistics, and psychology; it must not only emphasize the “perception revolution” triggered by the Internet of Things, the “prediction revolution” triggered by big data, and the “computing revolution” triggered by intelligent algorithms but also pay attention to the “strike revolution” triggered by unmanned operations and intelligent munitions, thereby conforming to world trends, staying close to the technological frontier, and bravely standing at the forefront of the times.

面对智能化的奔腾浪潮，世界主要国家抢先发力布局，制定人工智能发展规划，建立专门委员会，持续投入重金，吸引高科技人才，推动智能产业与国防领域深度融合。军队政治工作智能化建设是建设世界一流军队的重要组成部分，既要紧跟通用人工智能的发展趋势，也要追踪专用人工智能领域的技术进展；既要保持对计算机科学、脑科学、数学等学科发展的敏锐，也要关注控制科学、语言学、心理学等相关学科的进展；既要强调物联网技术引发的“感知革命”、大数据引发的“预测革命”、智能算法引发的“计算革命”，也要重视无人作战、智能弹药等引发的“打击革命”，做到顺应世界趋势，紧贴科技前沿，勇立时代潮头。

Military-civilian coordination is the necessary path for accelerating the intelligent development of military political work. The objects of military political work are people in specific social relationships, and the intelligent development of military political work is inseparable from the intelligent development of various social aspects such as education and communication. A coordinated, departmentally linked, smooth and efficient organizational management system; a work operation system driven by demand, market operation, and policy guidance; and deep integration in areas such as high-computing-power training chips, deep learning models, professional talent cultivation, and intelligent ecosystem construction—integrating the intelligent development of military political work organically into the larger system of economic and social intelligent development—are conducive to promoting the development of social industries, rapidly enhancing the capabilities of military political work, and achieving two-way driving and win-win cooperation.

军地协同是军队政治工作智能化加速发展的必由之路。军队政治工作的对象是具体社会关系中的人，军队政治工作智能化与教育、传播等社会各方面的智能化密不可分。军地协调、部门联动、顺畅高效的组织管理体系，需求牵引、市场运作、政策指导的工作运行体系，高算力训练芯片、深度学习模型、专业人才培养、智能生态构建等方面的深度融合，把军队政治工作智能化有机融入经济社会智能化建设的大体系，有利于促进社会产业发展，有利于快速提升军队政治工作能力，实现双向带动、合作共赢。

To advance the intelligentization of military political work, it is necessary to conduct goal-oriented organized research around basic theories and cutting-edge directions, break through technical difficulties such as knowledge representation and reasoning in political work, deep-level semantic association matching, and interpretable decision-support models, and master key technologies and products such as advanced algorithms and domestically produced high-performance chips in our own hands, so as to achieve high-level self-reliance and self-strengthening through high-quality scientific and technological innovation, and consolidate the unique advantages and core skills of the people’s army under intelligent conditions.

推进军队政治工作智能化，必须围绕基础理论和前沿方向开展目标导向的有组织科研，突破政治工作的知识表示与推理、深层次语义关联匹配、可解释性辅助决策模型等技术难题，把先进算法、国产高性能芯片等关键技术和产品掌握在自己手中，以高质量科技创新实现高水平自主可控和自立自强，巩固智能化条件下人民军队的独特优势和看家本领。

Make artificial intelligence a trustworthy assistant for military political work

让人工智能成为军队政治工作的可信助手

Intelligentization has shone brightly in practical applications, with data flowing across domains, algorithms clearing the fog, and systems learning autonomously, significantly improving autonomy, precision, and effectiveness, and bringing about the emergence of new functions. However, it has also generated many risks, hidden dangers, and problems. Strengthening technological governance and creating responsible artificial intelligence is a technical path that cannot be ignored in advancing the intelligentization of military political work.

智能化在实际应用中大放异彩，数据跨域流转，算法拨开迷雾，系统自主学习，显著提高了自主性、精确性和有效性，带来了新功能的涌现，但是也产生了许多风险、隐患和问题。加强技术治理，创造负责任的人工智能，是推进军队政治工作智能化不容忽视的技术路径。

Ideological work is an extremely important task of the Party. Military political work is essentially the work of the Party leading and controlling the military; it must ensure that the Party’s political propositions and innovative theories are implemented in the military, and it must become a strong bulwark for the ideological security of the military. Advancing the intelligentization of military political work requires vigilance against the ideological risks brought by algorithms, ensuring the political and value standards in links such as training data, content production, algorithmic recommendation, and decision support, resisting the infiltration and influence of false information, erroneous ideological trends, and value inducement through technological and managerial innovation, adhering to the political essence of being loyal to the Party and serving the military, and strengthening the mainstream ideological position.

意识形态工作是党的一项极端重要的工作。军队政治工作实质上是党领导和掌握军队的工作，必须保证党的政治主张和创新理论在军队得到贯彻落实，必须成为军队意识形态安全的坚强屏障。推进军队政治工作智能化要警惕算法带来的意识形态风险，把好训练数据、内容生产、算法推荐、辅助决策等环节的政治关和价值关，通过技术和管理创新抵制虚假信息、错误思潮、价值诱导的渗透影响，坚守姓党为军的政治本色，壮大主流意识形态阵地。

The moral and ethical issues triggered by generative artificial intelligence, such as the weakening of human subject value, algorithmic bias and discrimination, and the inconsistency of two-way values in human-machine collaboration, must be given sufficient attention. Advancing the intelligentization of military political work should explore an ethical governance model for artificial intelligence based on risk classification and tiered regulation, uphold the dominant position of humans in human-machine collaboration, improve the supervision and management of issues such as the design, development, deployment, approval, and protection of the legitimate rights and interests of military personnel in intelligent applications, promote the interpretability and explainability of algorithms, prevent and control ethical risks in science and technology, and create a path for realizing the good of science and technology that conforms to the actual conditions of our military’s political work.

生成式人工智能引发的人类主体价值削弱、算法偏见和歧视、人机协作双向价值不一致等道德伦理问题，必须引起足够重视。推进军队政治工作智能化，应该探索基于风险分类分层规制的人工智能伦理治理模式，坚持人机协作时人类的主导地位，健全智能应用设计研发、部署审批、军队人员合法权益保护等问题的监督和管理，推动算法可解释化、可说明化，防控科技伦理风险，开创符合我军政治工作实际的科技向善实现之道。

The regulatory and normative role of laws and institutions is an important guarantee for the orderly development of intelligentization. Our country has continuously improved laws, regulations, and guidelines in areas such as the construction of a new-generation artificial intelligence standard system, the management of generative artificial intelligence services, and data security and personal information protection. Advancing the intelligentization of military political work should clarify the reasonable boundaries of the rights and obligations of various subjects in the intelligentization process, the standards and norms of related technologies, and the division of responsibilities in supervision and management, explore the establishment of prudent, practical, and effective institutional norms, and make artificial intelligence a trustworthy, efficient, and manageable assistant and partner for military political work.

法规制度的调节规范作用，是智能化有序发展的重要保障。我国在新一代人工智能标准体系建设、生成式人工智能服务管理、数据安全和个人信息保护等方面，不断完善法规和指南。推进军队政治工作智能化，应该明确智能化过程中各类主体的权利义务、相关技术的标准规范、监督管理的职责分工等的合理边界，探索建立审慎、务实、管用的制度规范，让人工智能成为可信任、高效率、可管理的军队政治工作助手和伙伴。
