China Sets Up Embodied AI Data Standards Working Group as Compute Power Ranks Second

The National Data Administration announced that the National Data Standardization Technical Committee convened its second "Standard Week" event of 2026 in Xiamen, Fujian Province. The event serves as a platform to advance data standardization across various sectors. The "Standard Week" is a regular event organized by the committee to discuss and develop data standards.

During the event, the committee formally established a drafting working group dedicated to embodied intelligence data standards. In addition, it set up four industry application standard drafting groups covering meteorology, health, power, and commerce. These working groups are tasked with accelerating the formulation of data-related standards during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030). The working groups will include experts from relevant fields to draft standards.

The initiative aims to empower the digital development of industries and support the growth of the digital economy. By establishing these standards, China seeks to ensure interoperability and quality in data used for emerging technologies. The standards are expected to facilitate data sharing and innovation.

Latest data from the National Data Administration shows that China's total compute power has reached 3.1 million PFLOPS, ranking second in the world. This was reported by CCTV News.
