[Ouyang Minggao, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: The next five years will be a key window period for battery research and development to shift from traditional models to AI intelligent research and development] On September 3, Ouyang Minggao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said at the "2026 World Power Battery Conference" held today that AI empowerment of the entire industry chain has become an industry development trend. The next five years will be a key window period for battery research and development to shift from traditional models to AI intelligent research and development. All-solid-state battery technology is extremely difficult, and its technological breakthroughs and industrialization are highly dependent on the empowerment of artificial intelligence research and development platforms. Based on supply chain and manufacturing big data, it is imperative to use AI large models for full life cycle management. In the future, smart batteries based on implanted sensors will push AI empowerment to a new level. (Reporter Liu Mengran)
