This year, Liu brought eight suggestions to the top legislature, covering applications of artificial intelligence in education, healthcare and elderly care.

For AI application in education, Liu suggested strengthening the popularity of new-type teaching and learning terminals at schools, which can play an important role in implementation of the "double reduction" policy to reduce students' extracurricular tutoring and homework burdens.

Liu added the application of partner robots should be carried out via artificial intelligence, which could enhance happiness indices for the elderly and solve shortages of skilled nursing staff.
