Speed up the development of network information technology (by everyone)
The prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic is not only a battle in the field of health in my country, but also a big test in the field of science and technology.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his important speech at the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic: “Whether it is carrying out large-scale nucleic acid testing, big data traceability and health code identification, or district-level and differentiated prevention and control, and orderly promotion of resumption of work and production They are all respect and promotion of the scientific spirit, and they have provided strong scientific and technological support for the fight against the epidemic."
Major strategic results have been achieved in the prevention and control of the epidemic, and science and technology, including network information technology, have contributed.
In this thrilling battle against the epidemic, network information technology has played an important role: the use of health codes provides important technical support for blocking the spread of the epidemic and preventing and controlling the spread of the epidemic; with the help of artificial intelligence technology, robots can help medical institutions It handles many non-emergency tasks such as preliminary inquiries and pre-diagnosis, and can also help doctors perform remote diagnosis and treatment of patients, reducing the possibility of cross-infection between medical staff and patients; based on the support of network information technology, online shopping, online drama watching, Video chat, online education, etc. flourish; etc.
At present, the epidemic is still spreading around the world, and the risk of sporadic cases and local outbreaks in the country still exists. We must continue to not relax and pay close attention to various prevention and control work.
With an overall victory in the fight against the epidemic, network information technology can make new contributions.
Continue to leverage the advantages of big data to provide a more accurate basis for decision-making.
The prevention and control of the epidemic requires data support from public security, transportation, labor and other administrative departments, as well as telecommunications and Internet companies, and needs to improve data integration capabilities.
Only by realizing in-depth data coordination can the decision-making support role of big data be better played.
It is necessary to continue to utilize the advantages of the network, provide smoother remote consultation and telemedicine, maximize the concentration of superior diagnosis and treatment resources, and give play to the collective wisdom of experts from all over the world; optimize the online education platform and continuously improve the technical level of the online education platform; ensure network security and prevent use Cyber attacks carried out by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, such as cyber attackers disguising computer viruses, Trojan horses, and mobile malicious programs as information such as “pneumonia cases” and “protection notifications”, and spread them through phishing emails, malicious links, etc.
In addition, the reporting and circulation of epidemic prevention and control information and the use of big data are likely to cause the leakage of personal information, requiring network security, public security law enforcement and other departments to jointly combat cybercrimes and prevent data leakage.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the conference on coordinating the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the deployment of economic and social development: “The epidemic is both a challenge and an opportunity for industrial development. Some traditional industries have been hit harder, while smart manufacturing, unmanned distribution, online consumption, Emerging industries such as healthcare have shown strong growth potential. We must use this as an opportunity to transform and upgrade traditional industries, and cultivate and expand emerging industries." At present, when the national IPv6 deployment action plan comes to an end, the pace of 5G commercialization is accelerating. The development of "Internet +" and "Artificial Intelligence +" provide an important information technology foundation.
From this perspective, the epidemic has brought opportunities for my country's economic transformation and upgrading and the development of network information technology.
We must seize opportunities and work hard to turn crises into opportunities.
For example, increase investment in information infrastructure represented by IPv6 and 5G to lay an information foundation for long-term development.
At the same time, incentives and support policies can be introduced to encourage the deep integration of various industries with the Internet and artificial intelligence to give birth to new industries and industries.
It is especially important to increase investment in key core technology innovation and development.
The key core technology is an important weapon of the country, which is of great significance for promoting the high-quality development of my country's economy and ensuring national security.
We should continue to increase investment, encourage innovation, and strive to achieve greater breakthroughs, completely change the situation where some key core technologies are controlled by others, and lay a more solid foundation for the construction of a network power.
