As a benchmark country for technological innovation in Europe，Germany has gradually shifted from leading in basic research to prioritizing industrial applications since the promulgation of its first National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence in 2018，and has strengthened its technological sovereignty and ethical regulation through the Action Plan for Artificial Intelligence and the European Artificial Intelligence Act. At the level of global technological competition，Germany is actively exploring the “third way” that is different from the China-US model，combining AI with its dominant industries，attaching great importance to the governance of “credible AI” and the fight for technological sovereignty，and constructing a competitive advantage through institutional innovation and value output. At the European level，Germany ensures that its AI strategy is consistent with the overall plan of the European Union by promoting standardization，facilitating transnational research cooperation and strengthening data sovereignty governance. At the domestic level，Germany further strengthens the local foundation of its AI strategy by supporting the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises（SMEs），strengthening basic and applied research，promoting talent cultivation and optimizing technology transfer mechanisms. The alignment of its AI strategy has a significant impact on economic competitiveness enhancement，social governance optimization and the reshaping of Europe’s digital leadership，but it also faces structural challenges such as weak arithmetic infrastructure，SME transformation pressure and insufficient supply of talent.
