  A few days ago, the "Fourth World Intelligence Conference" jointly organized by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology was held in Tianjin, and people from all walks of life discussed the new developments and opportunities brought about by intelligent technology through the form of "cloud participation." During the conference, Cloud signed 148 projects, including 131 domestic-funded projects with a total investment of 80.9 billion yuan; 17 foreign-invested projects with a total investment of 1.6 billion US dollars.

  Participants generally believe that the epidemic has profoundly changed people's original work and lifestyle. How to use new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet, big data, and cloud computing to improve the level of economic activities in information, automation, and intelligence Making progress steadily is essential. From a practical point of view, the rapid development of the smart economy is creating new and growing momentum for China's economic savings.

Life is more concise and efficient

  According to data from Alibaba Group, the number of shopkeepers who have opened new Taobao stores after the epidemic has reached 2 million, and the number of small and medium-sized businesses participating in "618" this year has increased by 166% year-on-year.

  According to the relevant person in charge of Tmall, online consumption continues to be hot, not only affected by the epidemic, but also related to the launch of innovative services such as 3D shopping, same-city shopping, Hida, and Taobao live broadcast. "During this year's Tmall "618", we launched online 3D shopping for the first time, mainly by moving offline stores to mobile phones and presenting them in 3D stereoscopic scenes. For example, we popularized AR technology to test shoes, test sunglasses, In rich scenes such as trial contact lenses, trial hair color, and even trial play, more consumers can experience the effect of the product itself online." The person in charge introduced that through 3D shopping, consumers per capita add products to the shopping cart. The number is 15 pieces, 5 times higher than before.

  In addition to shopping, there are many changes in life brought about by new technologies. At this year's World Intelligence Conference, Lenovo Group brought a series of scenario-based smart solution examples, from smart cities, smart government affairs to smart medical care, smart education, vividly show how the new generation of smart technology in daily work and life Play a huge role.

  Taking Lenovo Medical's remote health chronic disease management platform as an example, it can realize remote monitoring, real-time analysis, and provide a smart diagnosis and treatment solution by connecting the patient-side ECG intelligent monitoring product and the remote ECG monitoring platform. Using this platform, on the one hand, it can enable patients to realize customized medical treatment and reduce the physical, psychological, and mental burdens of patients with chronic diseases; on the other hand, the platform can use intelligent computing to achieve effective chronic disease management while also reallocating medical resources Provide support to the reform of the medical model and build a value ecological network among patients, hospitals, medical institutions and academic systems.

Businesses are looking for business opportunities

  Compared with previous years, although many links of the Fourth World Intelligence Conference have been moved online, the enthusiasm of entrepreneurs to participate has increased. The reason lies in the business opportunities behind the smart economy.

  According to Ren Yuxin, chief operating officer of Tencent, in the field of industrial Internet, Tencent's positioning is "a digital assistant in all walks of life", make a "connector", provide a "toolbox", and become a co-builder of the innovation ecosystem. In the first four months of this year, the demand for WeChat mini-program live delivery, public account content editing, and mini-program development and operation has increased significantly. WeChat Eco’s resume delivery has increased by nearly 10%, and the number of jobs has increased by nearly 600,000. WeChat ecology is becoming a gathering place for a large number of young people, especially college graduates.

  "The limit of connecting people to people is billions of nodes, and connecting people and things, people and services, this scale will achieve exponential growth. This also prompts us to continue to increase our investment in future technological innovation engines. At present, Tencent Two matrices of artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technology have been established, covering areas such as artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, 5G, and the Internet of Things." Ren Yuxin said.

  In the view of Zhou Hongyi, Chairman and CEO of 360 Group, the foundation of artificial intelligence is digitalization first, and "new infrastructure construction" is a comprehensive digital foundation. In the era of "everything needs to be interconnected and data drives all business", people's demand for network security will be more prominent.

  Zhou Hongyi said that 360 will continue to increase the construction and investment of the safety brain, deepen the safety operation and safety capability services, become a safety partner of the government and enterprises, and escort the smart economy.

Promote high-quality development

  Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that from January to May, the online retail sales of physical commodities accounted for 24.3% of the total retail sales of social consumer goods, an increase of 5.4 percentage points from the same period of the previous year. In May, 3D printing equipment, smart watches, integrated circuit wafers, The output of charging piles and other products increased by more than 70% year-on-year. All of this confirms the pace of China's smart economy accelerating.

  Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, said that in the field of intelligent technologies such as the Internet of Things, edge computing, cloud computing, and 5G, China is basically on the same starting line as other countries, and some areas have comparative advantages. If these advanced intelligent technologies are combined with China's massive manufacturing industry, it will provide a new starting point for China's manufacturing industry to fill shortcomings, break through innovation, and start its own brand.

  When analyzing the impact of the epidemic on economic development, Cong Yi, a professor at the School of Economics and Economics of Tianjin University of Finance and Economics, summarized it with "the overall impact is greater and structural adjustment is accelerated." Cong Yi pointed out that it is precisely because of China's continuous efforts in digitization, informatization, automation, and intelligence and the formation of a strong industrial foundation that can achieve the "online industry counter-growth" when the epidemic hinders offline economic activities. "Not bright in the east and bright in the west" has achieved hard-won results in the overall promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development.

  Cong Yi said that the sustainable development of the smart economy is inseparable from key equipment, infrastructure, service scenarios, and industrial integration. The new kinetic energy, new models, and new business forms concerned by all parties at the Fourth World Intelligence Conference are based on these four major areas. In the future, to develop a smart economy and achieve high-quality development, it is necessary not only to form a complete policy support system as soon as possible, but also to increase investment in research and development in key areas, and it is also necessary for various industries, especially traditional industries, to actively seek new changes, accelerate transformation and upgrading .
