China News Network April 17th, under the big test of the fight against the epidemic, high-tech represented by artificial intelligence walked from behind the scenes to the stage and played an important role. When the epidemic faded, the long-term proposition of economic growth once again became the primary focus of outside attention. Under this background, the accelerated rise of the smart economy also brought important growth points.
As Baidu founder, chairman and CEO Li Yanhong said at the World Internet Conference last year, the digital economy has gone from the invention and popularization of the PC, to the PC Internet of Things, and then to the mobile Internet, will be driven by artificial intelligence as the core The new stage of powerful smart economy. The smart economy will bring new vitality to China and even the global economy, and is the core engine that drives the economy to move upward again.
At present, China's economy is in a stage of rapid growth and transformation to high-quality development, and the engine of economic growth is also facing transformation. As the fulcrum of economic transformation and upgrading and accelerated development, the smart economy has many important breakthroughs and opportunities in terms of concept and practice.
In this regard, Jiang Qiping, director of the Information Technology Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and director of the Information and Network Economics Office, pointed out that unlike the previous "non-smart economy" quantitative growth empowerment, the smart economy is the main engine of high-quality development and provides new The engine of kinetic energy, artificial intelligence will become the main force to promote high-quality economic development.
Jiang Qiping also pointed out that in addition to providing the underlying kinetic energy, the smart economy will also enable high-quality production and innovation. The application and empowerment of artificial intelligence technology in multiple industries will not only benefit the traditional industries for intelligent upgrades and overtaking in corners, but will also accelerate the expansion of the application space of AI technology itself. This also demonstrates that under the guidance of the national innovation-driven strategy, intelligent economic Grab function.
This multi-dimensional empowerment process will bring more innovation dividends. On the one hand, the competitive advantages of innovative enterprises will be further highlighted. On the other hand, the empowerment of innovation by intelligent technology will also lower the threshold of innovation and create a diversified dividend for society. With the acceleration of new infrastructure upgrades with 5G, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the smart economy will also gain a round of development windows. In this regard, Jiang Qiping believes that the new infrastructure will become an important breakthrough in the practical level of the smart economy era.
Infrastructure is the most important capital of human beings. With IT infrastructure and intelligent infrastructure as breakthroughs, the new infrastructure will accelerate its breakthrough, and the relationship between people and capital will undergo disruptive changes. Under this change, platform companies will undoubtedly play a more prominent role. Jiang Qiping believes that with the long-term investment and practical accumulation, the current giant companies have laid the underlying framework in key areas of new infrastructure with a structured layout. For example, Baidu has established artificial intelligence, Huawei in 5G, and Alibaba in big data. Each unique leading edge will become a key technology engine for the new infrastructure.
Although a series of breakthroughs and changes in the era of the intelligent economy have taken shape, they cannot be achieved overnight, and the innovation drive is not passive water. With the empowerment of technology companies represented by Baidu, 5G, smart cloud, etc. have also become important infrastructures in the smart era, and the new kinetic energy role of the smart economy will be further reflected. Contribute to Chinese strength.
