In the strategic context of the “Artificial Intelligence+” Action, enhancing national AI competence is a prerequisite for consolidating the foundations of an inclusive, intelligent society, activating New Quality Productive Forces, and securing a competitive national advantage. National AI competence can be tiered into two levels. The first is General AI Competence, designed for all citizens, and includes functional application, critical thinking, and ethical safety. The second is Domain AI Competence, aimed at professionals, focusing on process re-engineering, human-machine collaboration, and ethical governance. To advance this competence, we must move beyond spontaneous, fragmented individual efforts and establish it as a systemic public popularization endeavor. This requires strengthening top-level design, adopting a dual-track strategy of universal inclusion and targeted precision, consolidating the responsibilities of platforms and media, establishing social incentive and certification mechanisms, and building a continuously evolving popularization research support system.
