Chinanews.com, Wuzhen, November 24 (Zhao Xiaoyan) "Viruses know no borders, and epidemics do not distinguish between races." At the 2020 World Internet Conference and Internet Development Forum held here, there are many at home and abroad including Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. In their speeches, scholars and entrepreneurs all mentioned the new crown pneumonia epidemic that is raging around the world in 2020.
Their consensus is that technology has played a vital role in situation research and epidemiological analysis in this anti-epidemic operation.
They call that the virus knows no borders. If you want to continue to see the rapid recovery of the global economy, you must maintain the borderlessness of technology so that outstanding talents around the world can work together to solve the most urgent problems in innovative ways.
Zhong Nanshan said that the accelerated integration of big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technologies with transportation, medical care, education, scientific research and other fields has promoted the transformation and upgrading of the informationization of the whole society.
"Especially in this anti-epidemic work, information and communication technology has provided very strong support for epidemic prevention and control, and has shown great energy in the research and judgment of the situation, information sharing, and epidemiological analysis."
For example, Shen Nanpeng, the global managing partner of Sequoia Capital, mentioned at this conference that Sequoia invested in a company focused on artificial intelligence.
The company’s team of scientists has developed three sets of AI systems, using artificial intelligence to map out various potential threats under the epidemic, and show the various paths through which humans and viruses meet. This system has already sunk to many local governments and enterprises. , To help with micro prevention and control.
"It is precisely with the participation of digital anti-epidemics with handheld machine learning and big data tools that the day when the virus has nowhere to go will come sooner."
Zhong Nanshan said that in the future, we will further use information technology to improve the early warning response mechanism, improve the prevention, control and treatment capabilities, and help effectively maintain the health and safety of the people.
In the current severe situation, we must persist in open cooperation and join hands to fight the epidemic.
"Not only the whole country, but also the whole world. The virus knows no borders, and the epidemic does not discriminate between races. In the face of the common crisis of all mankind, no country can stand alone. The international community needs to join hands and abandon differences in vaccine development and 5G medical care. Develop higher, closer, and more comprehensive cooperation in areas such as, data sharing."
Cisco’s chairman and CEO Luo Zhuoke said that the new crown epidemic is undoubtedly one of the most serious problems facing the international community, and we have never had the same excellent technology to help us fight the epidemic, support and rebuild. economic.
China's scientific and technological anti-epidemic achievements have become a global model.
US-China Business Council Chairman Craig Allen commented that China’s confirmed cases of new crown pneumonia are still very few, and many people’s lives have returned to normal. This is largely due to the Chinese government’s active use of new technologies to deal with the new crown epidemic.
He mentioned that these new technologies come from global companies including China.
For example, Tencent has open sourced its "New Coronary Pneumonia AI Self-Check Assistant" to help individuals and medical staff around the world respond to the epidemic.
Paypal promotes QR codes in the international market to provide support for trading activities under the condition of maintaining social distancing.
"If we want to continue to see the rapid recovery of the global economy, we must maintain the borderlessness of technology, so that the world's outstanding talents can work together to solve the most pressing problems in innovative ways." Craig Allen emphasized While acknowledging the legitimate concerns of various countries to protect their citizens’ personal information and critical infrastructure from damage, governments must continue to support innovation by introducing regulations that encourage the free flow of data and technology and cross-border exchanges.
