Research on Pathways for Promoting High-Quality Employment Development through the Synergistic Advancement of AI Education and Talent Development

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Beijing achieved phased results in its AI innovation ecosystem, talent scale, policy implementation, and international appeal. However, prominent challenges remain, including insufficient supply of high-end talent, shallow synergy between education and science/technology talent development, barriers to international talent services, and inadequate policy coordination. To advance high-quality employment development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Beijing is advised to adopt an overarching approach centered on “strategic guidance, integrated cultivation and attraction, collaborative integration, and global openness.” Specific policy measures should be implemented across four key areas: building strategic talent reserves, deepening integrated education-technology talent reforms, optimizing international talent service systems, and strengthening policy coordination and regional linkage. This will propel Beijing toward becoming a globally competitive AI talent hub, providing robust support for cultivating new productive forces and achieving high-quality development.
