World Internet Conference 2021: Embracing the next generation, artificial intelligence spawns new business formats

 "Artificial intelligence must be oriented to the next generation, combining data and knowledge to explore brain-like artificial intelligence"

Tang Jie, vice president of Beijing Zhiyuan Research Institute, spoke at the sub-forum "Artificial Intelligence: Building New Advantages of Smart Economy" of World Internet Conference 2021, on the morning of September 27.  Artificial intelligence has gone through many generations, including the first generation of symbolic AI with symbols as the core, and the second generation of perceptual intelligence based on deep learning and machine learning algorithms.  It has come to the age of cognitive intelligence.

Artificial intelligence new business

New information technologies represented by 5G, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and edge computing are accelerating their deep integration with the real economy.  At the same time, technology is also driving the process of industrial digitization, and the curtain of the era of digital and intelligent economy has begun. Gao Tongqing, deputy GM of China Mobile, believes that AI, as a comprehensive empowerment of the digital economy, has given birth to new models and business formats, which is the "wisdom of new infrastructure."  If 5G is not combined with such "intelligence", the scope and depth of its use, as well as the huge driving force and effect brought by the use, will be compromised.  "Hash power is the source of power for 5G, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. We call it the heart of new infrastructure."

Under the demand of green and sustainable development, artificial intelligence will also play an active role.  Said Su Meng, chairman and CEO of Percent Technology, citing examples. In the industrial field, helping companies build data centers and form high-quality data assets, combined with AI algorithms and models, support the company's quality monitoring, supply chain management, manufacturing execution, resource planning, transportation and logistics and other intelligent decision-making analysis.  Assist enterprises in optimizing production processes and improving efficiency. In terms of carbon peak and carbon neutral analysis, using data such as population, industry, economy, energy, asset input and output, and the results of the second forest resource inventory, using machine learning model random forest and other algorithms, predict the future carbon emissions of each province, and obtain the peak time interval of each province and the 2030 target  The optimal path to the peak; and the CGE model is used to calculate and simulate the carbon emissions of different industries and economic activities, and to study the impact of energy structure and emission reduction costs on the national economy.

Mei Tao, vice president of JD Group and JD Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, believes that the ethics and governance of artificial intelligence are one of the key factors for the steady development of artificial intelligence. The understanding of trusted artificial intelligence can basically be summarized in four aspects: stability, interpretability, privacy protection, and fairness.

Gu Liang, vice president and chief scientist of Sangfor, said that artificial intelligence itself can be said to be a double-edged sword. We carry out attacks, such as "killing pigs" and use automatic voice chat to erode our consumers. "So from the perspective of offensive and defensive confrontation and the perspective of future evolution, we need to be good at technology and technology is conducive to the positive cycle, so that AI can help us to strengthen our defense and detection capabilities." Gu Liang said.
