Chinanews.com, April 2nd. On March 31st, New Media and Baidu Baijia jointly hosted a cloud seminar on "New Infrastructure and Intelligent Economic Development" on March 31, inviting experts in various fields to discuss "online live broadcast" New infrastructure. "
The sudden epidemic has quietly made the "cloud economy" and "house economy" popular, and it has also given birth to new infrastructure with 5G base stations, artificial intelligence, big data centers, and industrial Internet as its main content. The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China recently convened a meeting to propose to accelerate the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers. "New infrastructure" is becoming an important starting point for stimulating economic potential and optimizing the economic structure.
The concept of "new infrastructure" has not only been valued at the national level, but also aroused heated discussion among the majority of netizens. According to a search big data report released by Baidu, the search volume for keywords such as "artificial intelligence" and "industrial internet" has increased by more than four times, and has become a network hotspot in recent times.
"China is a big country in the world with a complete industrial system. It has achieved catch-up with developed countries in quantity, but far from achieving quality, technology, efficiency, innovation, competitiveness, and knowledge." At the seminar, the State Council developed Wei Jigang, director of the Research Office of the Industrial Economics Research Department of the Research Center, believes that the new industrial revolution with digitalization, networking, intelligence, and greenness as its core features is breaking through human limitations and bottlenecks in resources and the environment, greatly enhancing the ability of sustainable development. In order for China to build a modern economic system and become a modern powerful country, it must deeply participate in or even lead a new industrial revolution. How to firmly grasp the opportunities of the times, study and formulate a strategy for the new industrial revolution, and comprehensively lead the industrial reform is a major issue in contemporary China.
"The national development of new infrastructure is like a timely rain, which will not only effectively promote the high-quality transformation of the Chinese economy, but also lay a solid foundation for China to lead the era of the intelligent economy in the future." Li Yanhong, Chairman and CEO of Baidu said, "The Chinese economy Sustained and rapid growth for two to three decades is inseparable from the country's long-term, large-scale, high-quality investment, which is closely related to the unified deployment and construction of many basic industries. The level of smart economic infrastructure determines China's new wave of technological dividends Whether it can occupy a more advantageous position in the global landscape. "
Wei Jigang said that based on a new round of global competition, the intelligent economy represented by AI will be an indispensable key development direction in the next decade. It is necessary to promote the development of intelligent industry from the height of national strategy and strive to build China into a global intelligent industry highland. .
The new industrial revolution will change the pattern of international industrial division of labor. Digital manufacturing will reduce the importance of labor costs affecting industrial competitiveness. The ability of developed countries to adopt efficient and intelligent digital technologies and equipment will not only reduce the use of labor in the production process, greatly reduce manufacturing costs, but also reduce production processes and the industrial chain. Greatly shortened.
Based on the current situation, we need to intelligently upgrade the entire industry chain. It can be seen that large companies and small, medium and micro enterprises have different positions in the new industrial revolution. Large companies are the leading force in the international division of labor, but they will tend to focus on knowledge-intensive and non-tangible functions, such as product design, research and development, management services, and value-added links such as marketing and brand management, and will be more productive. Sub-contracting to contract manufacturers around the world. At the same time, small, medium and micro enterprises will gain more development opportunities, which can make full use of the Internet, digital manufacturing and other participation in R & D design and personalized production, creating unique advantages in certain specific areas.
A large number of new technologies required for the new industrial revolution are still in the early stages, and all countries are "almost on the same starting line." Some emerging or developing countries are even better able to seize the opportunities presented by new technologies. If emerging economies or developing countries can build new technology systems at a faster rate, they can achieve leap-forward development and achieve catch-up targets for developed countries.
