7th Military Big Data Forum Held

第七届军事大数据论坛举办

PLA Daily (解放军报) 22 May 2026

Summary

The 7th Military Big Data Forum convened in Guiyang on May 21, organized around the theme of 数智科技战斗力转化 (combat power transformation through digital-intelligent technology), with a main forum and six sub-forums covering high-value data mining, decision-making, and trusted applications of 大模型智能体 (large-model intelligent agents). This is a recurring annual forum; its value is as a record of which AI and data topics the PLA research community is publicly prioritizing — large-model agents and data-to-decision pipelines — not as evidence of a capability or doctrinal shift. What remains unknown is which PLA units, academies, or defense industry entities sent participants and in what capacity.
