Abstract: Along with the in-depth development of a new round of revolution in science, tech⁃ nology, and industry, the digital technology represented by artificial intelligence has been in⁃ creasingly integrated into the economy and society. As a result, global economic activities show  an increasing trend toward digitization. Disruptive innovations driven by digital technological  changes can promote advanced productivity, build a new production function of economic activi⁃ ties, and give rise to the emergence of a new economic form. The result is the digital economy  which is characterized by high levels of informatization, intelligence, and efficiency. It offers a  new opportunity and serves as an important engine for developing new quality productivity  driven by scientific and technological innovation. Therefore, understanding how to reasonably  use this important magic weapon to cultivate and develop new quality productivity has become  a major research topic. The core of both the digital economy and new productivity is scientific  and technological innovation, both aiming for high-quality, high-efficiency, and sustainable de⁃ velopment, which aligns naturally. From the perspective of Marx's political economy, the pro⁃ cesses of production, distribution, exchange, and consumption in social reproduction "constitute  the links of a whole, the differences within a unity". The economy is an organic whole made up  of interconnected production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of various products that  humans engage in to meet their needs. The digital economy empowers the significant advan⁃ tages of new quality productivity, and the promotion of high-quality development can be effec⁃ tively reflected through these four interrelated links. In an era marked by unprecedented  changes, both domestically and internationally, China faces several challenges. These include a  lack of scientific and technological innovation, an imbalance in the supply and demand for tal⁃ ent, weaknesses in the effectiveness of the industrial system, an imperfect digital governance system, and many other bottlenecks and constraints. To address these issues, it's crucial to con⁃ duct a thorough analysis of the digital economy's development. This will help identify obstacles  that hinder the cultivation of new quality productivity and facilitate precise breakthroughs. Ad⁃ ditionally, promoting the synergy development of the innovation chain, talent chain, industrial  chain, and system chain can help seize the opportunity presented by the latest technological  revolution and industrial transformation. This collective approach will accelerate the cultivation  and development of new quality productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a compre⁃ hensive transformation of traditional industries through the application of digital technology. This will promote the optimization and upgrading of the traditional industrial structure and  build new competitive advantages for development. Additionally, we need to improve the educa⁃ tion and training system to align with the actual needs of scientific and technological innova⁃ tion. This includes fostering a deeper integration of industry, academia, and research to supply  highly skilled talents for tackling key core technologies. Creating a supportive environment for  development is also crucial. We must improve the institutional mechanisms for innovation and  development, enhance our digital governance capabilities, and reduce the market risks associ⁃ ated with the digital economy. These efforts will provide a solid foundation for the cultivation  and development of new quality productivity.
