Currently, artificial intelligence is accelerating its deep integration with the real economy, becoming the core driving force for industrial transformation, upgrading, and cultivating new quality productive forces. AI large models are fully undertaking functions of information screening and decision-making recommendations, leading to a fundamental shift in the logic of enterprise competition. Traditional metrics like traffic and market share can no longer fully measure comprehensive competitiveness. Relying on the AI cognitive competition theory system published on the "Xuexi Qiangguo" platform, which is supervised by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, the high-end international non-governmental economic and trade ecosystem platform, Gongshenhui, recently officially launched the AI Cognitive Index Ecosystem. Centered on standardized value certification, it constructs a full-chain service model of "assessment and certification — gradient cultivation — resource matching — global empowerment," providing a new support path for the digital upgrade and high-level international development of China's private economy.

Filling Industry Standard Gaps and Anchoring the Proposition of the AI Cognitive Competition Era

According to forecasts by the McKinsey Global Institute, by 2030, artificial intelligence could potentially contribute an additional $13 trillion to global GDP growth, driving an average annual GDP increase of about 1.2%. Its transformative impact on industries is comparable to the steam engine in the 19th century, industrial robots in the 20th century, and information technology in the 21st century. The logic of industrial competition has shifted from traditional traffic battles to the struggle for AI cognitive discourse power. In the context of the widespread adoption of generative AI, cities, enterprises, and brands lacking clear and independent AI cognitive labels are prone to "cognitive folding," making it difficult to translate hard power into advantages in global market recommendations.

Recently, Pei Pei authored two theoretical articles, "Overview of AI Cognitive Sovereignty Theory" and "AI Cognitive Competition Theory: Reconstructing Global Competitiveness in the Era of Generative AI," published on the "Xuexi Qiangguo" platform, accompanied by in-depth interpretations that systematically elaborate on the new competitive framework of the AI era. The theory proposes that beyond data sovereignty and computing power sovereignty, there exists a higher dimension of cognitive sovereignty. Enterprises and cities possessing the right to define, interpret, and recommend their own industries and brands within mainstream large models represent a new core production factor. "Cognitive GDP" and "cognitive productivity" become new indicators for measuring development potential. This theory aligns closely with national strategies such as high-quality development, new quality productive forces, and cultural security, providing top-level theoretical support for building an industrial evaluation system.

Currently, multiple regions in China are intensively introducing special policies for AI-empowered private economy. Guangdong held a conference on AI empowering private economic development; Tai'an, Shandong, organized a special meeting on AI empowering high-quality private economy; Guangzhou released an action plan for "Integration of Two Industries & AI Empowerment," promoting the intelligent transformation of private enterprises around five major tasks. However, the industry has long lacked practical enterprise AI cognitive assessment standards, leaving many enterprises in a "three-no" dilemma of no benchmarks for transformation and no references for development. The Gongshenhui Pei Pei AI Cognitive Index System, supported by theories published on the national-level platform, effectively fills the gap in industrial standardized empowerment.

Quantitative Assessment Across Five Dimensions, Implementing the Pei Pei AI Cognitive Theory Model

According to reports, the entire index system is built entirely on the Pei Pei AI Cognitive Competition Theory, establishing a five-dimensional AI cognitive health assessment model. This covers enterprise AI cognitive competitiveness, enterprise AI online visibility, entrepreneur AI industry influence, brand AI recommendation index, and enterprise international communication index, all calculated based on real output data from globally mainstream AI large models.

The model follows the underlying logic of large model RAG retrieval, breaking away from traditional marketing evaluation frameworks. It focuses on measuring the enterprise's authoritative information source reserves, frequency of AI proactive recommendations, and cognitive voice volume on overseas platforms. It accurately diagnoses shortcomings in five major areas: AI strategy, organization, technology, data, and talent, transforming the enterprise's implicit AI cognitive assets into quantifiable, benchmarkable, and communicable reports. This addresses the common "strong hard power, weak AI cognition" time lag issues in industries such as high-end equipment and biomedicine.

Standardization efforts within the industry are progressing simultaneously. In May 2026, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) will lead the drafting of a group standard for comprehensive AI enterprise strength assessment, focusing on technical hardware capabilities. The Pei Pei AI Cognitive Index System forms a differentiated complement, focusing on AI recommendation discourse power and global cognitive communication dimensions, perfecting the complete evaluation system for the domestic AI industry.

Five-Level Gradient Cultivation, Creating a Positive Cycle of "Cognitive Enhancement — Resource Appreciation"

To guide enterprises in building AI cognitive assets in a stratified manner, Gongshenhui has established a five-level standardized certification and empowerment system. Based on Pei Pei index scores, enterprises are classified into five tiers: AI Pioneer Enterprise, AI Innovative Enterprise, AI Excellent Enterprise, AI Leading Enterprise, and AI Global Influential Enterprise. The cognitive index directly serves as the basis for platform resource access certification.

Grassroots enterprises can use basic health checks to identify cognitive shortcomings and participate in industry matchmaking events. High-quality enterprises enjoy full-media AI brand communication and list nominations. Benchmark enterprises gain access to city-level industrial funds and dedicated government-enterprise resources. Top-tier enterprises unlock high-level benefits such as exchanges with foreign envoys, speaking opportunities at international summits, and global channel matchmaking, forming a long-term cultivation ecosystem where "higher cognitive ability leads to more precise global resources."

Integrating Global Non-Governmental Economic and Trade Networks, Implementing Theory on a Physical Industry Service Platform

Adhering to the development philosophy of "Coexistence, Sharing, and Win-Win," Gongshenhui, a high-end non-governmental platform for foreign exchanges and industrial collaboration, was officially established in December 2025. It quickly integrated resources from over 50 foreign embassies and consulates in China, more than 30 international organizations, national and local chambers of commerce, leading enterprises, and think tanks. Covering global economic and trade regions including the Belt and Road Initiative, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, it regularly hosts non-governmental diplomatic activities such as symposiums with military attachés from multiple countries and the 2026 International New Year Exchange Conference, building channels for equal dialogue between Chinese and foreign governments and enterprises.

Different from traditional circles that use assets and status as entry barriers, Gongshenhui uses the Pei Pei AI Cognitive Index as its core value metric, completing a model innovation from "circle socializing" to "cognitive value empowerment." It guides enterprises to proactively build AI cognitive assets and leverage their own AI discourse power to gain opportunities in industry, policy, and overseas development. The platform offers free customized AI cognitive rankings for specific sectors to chambers of commerce nationwide, covering specialized and new enterprises, listed companies, young entrepreneurs, and local industrial clusters. It transforms index assessments into inclusive member services, empowering the construction of regional digital industry clusters with data.

Professional Service Matrix, Establishing Long-Term Index Release and Industrial Ecosystem Mechanisms

To facilitate the implementation of the index system, Gongshenhui has established three specialized service teams: Index Advisors, Resource Advisors, and City Advisors. Index Advisors are responsible for interpreting AI cognitive reports and planning transformation strategies; Resource Advisors connect industrial chains and facilitate capital matching; City Advisors expand the network of chambers of commerce and city partners nationwide, replacing superficial social interactions with professional data services.

The platform has established a periodic authoritative release mechanism: weekly releases of entrepreneur and brand AI recommendation rankings; monthly releases of regional enterprise AI visibility TOP lists; quarterly releases of the national entrepreneur AI cognitive competitiveness index; and annual global summits releasing the comprehensive Pei Pei Index white paper covering cities, industries, and enterprises. This continuously outputs AI cognitive industry analysis and solidifies the credibility of industry standards.

Leveraging channels of chambers of commerce, inclusive AI health checks, tiered index certifications, media list dissemination, and global non-governmental diplomatic resources, the platform builds a self-driving industry flywheel: a large number of enterprises complete cognitive assessments → index grading matches differentiated resources → authoritative lists gain mainstream media coverage → global governments, enterprises, and international organizations proactively join → more industry institutions co-build specialized indices, continuously expanding industrial coverage.

A relevant person in charge of Gongshenhui stated that the Pei Pei AI Cognitive Theory System, authoritatively published on the "Xuexi Qiangguo" platform, provides new theoretical tools for the intelligent and global development of the real economy. Non-governmental economic and trade exchanges are an important supplement to high-level opening-up, and AI cognitive competitiveness is a new growth point for the new quality productive forces of the private economy. In the next step, the platform will continuously iterate and improve the Pei Pei Index assessment model, collaborate with national chambers of commerce and overseas chambers to regularly release specialized industry cognitive rankings, continuously integrate global government, enterprise, think tank, and capital resources, and regularly hold international envoy exchanges and industry benchmark release events. Through standardized AI cognitive certification, it aims to help enterprises master the right to define and recommend in the AI era, contributing practical efforts to the high-quality development of China's digital economy and friendly non-governmental economic and trade exchanges between China and foreign countries.
