Member units encompass diverse entities across the innovation chain, industrial chain, education chain, and talent chain, including key universities, research institutes, sci-tech publishers, and leading human resources enterprises. 

The establishment of the Talent Group is an important initiative to implement China’s "AI+" action. Through multi-stakeholder collaboration among government, industry, academia, research, and application, the working group will drive high-quality development in the AI industry and provide sustainable talent support for China's technological innovation and the construction of a modern industrial system.
