The Zhongguancun Forum Artificial Intelligence Open Ecosystem Construction Forum with the theme of "Intelligence Gathering the Future to Build an AI Ecosystem" was held in Beijing. More than 150 people from business leaders, industry experts and other representatives from all walks of life participated. meeting.
The forum is guided by the High-tech Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission, the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park Management Committee, the Zhongguancun Science City Management Committee, the Zhongguancun Audiovisual Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, and the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance. Co-organized with Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute***. Guests attending the meeting conducted exchanges and discussions on the importance, current situation, development trends and important progress made in the construction of an open ecosystem for artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence has become the core driving force leading the future development direction. Its penetration, diffusion and subversion in various industries are increasing day by day. Emerging technologies represented by pre-trained large models, AI and computing power are Triggering a new round of AI innovation boom. The platformization of general artificial intelligence models has significantly lowered the entry threshold for artificial intelligence technology to empower thousands of industries.
As the most mature application for commercialization of large models, AIGC (using AI to generate content) has become a new tipping point in the digital economy. Recently, Beijing officially released "Beijing's Several Measures to Promote the Innovative Development of General Artificial Intelligence." In addition, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other regions have also successively taken actions to seize the "window period" for development. The “thousand-model war” triggered by generative AI has begun.
At the forum, Zhou Bin, CTO of Huawei’s Ascend Computing Business, believed that currently, whether in the Internet, finance, safety assessment, manufacturing and other fields, they are exploring how to use the new generation of artificial intelligence to accelerate the quality and efficiency of the entire system. When artificial intelligence is transformed into a tool system that improves quality and efficiency in production and life, it must be applied to scenarios.
Fu Yingbo, partner and president of Megvii Technology, said that technically, practical implementation is the only criterion for measuring the value of an algorithm. In terms of products, the integration of software and hardware is the only way for AI to be implemented. In the era of big models and AI explosion and development, the combination of AI with the real economy and real industry will definitely make the physical world better.
Huang Zhaoying, Global Vice President of HTC, believes that the Metaverse is the next stage in the development process of the Internet. The next generation of the Internet is closely related to everyone and every enterprise.
Yang Zaifei, CEO of Beijing Haizhi Technology Group Co., Ltd., also believes that large models have indeed changed everything, and there are many opportunities. In the application field, he hopes to find more scenarios and give full play to the knowledge graph. advantages to better explore large models.
my country’s artificial intelligence has developed rapidly, and an artificial intelligence development ecosystem that is application-oriented, scenario-driven, and supported by technology has initially formed. Creating a good artificial intelligence development ecosystem can inject strong impetus into the development of the real economy and digital economy and provide solid support. But at the same time, the guests at the meeting believed that there is still a big gap between my country and the international advanced level in terms of underlying algorithms, key software and hardware, and ecological systems, and these problems need to be solved together.
Wang Xiaodong, CEO of Beijing Haitian Ruisheng Technology Co., Ltd., said that the development of large models is of great significance to the development of artificial intelligence, but it also faces many challenges in terms of computing power, algorithms and data.
Zhou Bin also believes that large models consume a lot of computing power, which usually exists in a large-scale distributed system. How to solve problems in such a distributed system is a matter of technology. challenges facing the field.
In response to the problems and challenges faced, Professor Wang Huaimin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the CCF Open Source Development Committee, said that a new platform for artificial intelligence open source innovation should be established to effectively support the development of national AI chips and intelligent computing centers. To increase our influence in the field of artificial intelligence open source, we must build a Chinese artificial intelligence open source innovation platform that serves the world, and cultivate open source projects originating from China with global influence, including artificial intelligence projects. Only in this way can we improve our influence and competitiveness in this field.
