"We also hope to transform the world's leading technologies such as artificial intelligence into various services on the cloud, so that AI (artificial intelligence) computing power, like hydropower, becomes a new type of urban public resource, which can be used conveniently by enterprises and reduce the cost of enterprise research and development. Repeating'making wheels'." On September 27, Huawei Senior Vice President, Huawei Cloud CEO, and President of Consumer Cloud Services Zhang Ping An delivered a keynote speech at the 2021 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit.
On the same day, the "Artificial Intelligence: Creating New Advantages in the Intelligent Economy" sub-forum was held in Wuzhen, inviting domestic and foreign government leaders, well-known scholars, corporate executives, and representatives of international organizations in the field of artificial intelligence to share opinions and exchange experiences.
As the application of artificial intelligence technology products in many industries such as manufacturing, transportation, medical care, education, and finance has become more popular and deep, new demands, new business forms, and new models have been continuously generated, and the form of smart economy has become increasingly clear.
According to reports, in the past ten years (2010-2020), the number of patent applications in the field of artificial intelligence in China reached 389,571, ranking first in the world, accounting for 74.7% of the global total.
From the data point of view, artificial intelligence has become an important driving force to promote the leapfrog development of my country's science and technology, industrial optimization and upgrading, and overall productivity jump.
Since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, technologies represented by new-generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things have become powerful weapons and have played an irreplaceable role in medical diagnosis and epidemic prevention and control.
“Smart healthcare is an important driving force for the strategic development of a healthy China.” said Dong Jiahong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and dean of the Tsinghua University School of Clinical Medicine. The integrated application of scientific and technological means, and the in-depth integration of health and medical practices, will eventually achieve full-scale care covering the entire population, the entire process, and all dimensions.
Dong Jiahong believes that the vigorous development of smart medical care in my country has given birth to the embryonic form of a smart medical ecosystem.
Bai Jiawen, Director of the Communication Network Content and Technology Division of the European Mission in China, introduced the EU’s AI support and supervision measures from the three directions of “investment, coordination and trust”. “The EU plans to adopt its own research and digital application projects every year. Invest 1 billion euros in the field of artificial intelligence."
"Huawei is always working on one thing, that is, how to make artificial intelligence come out of the ivory tower and adapt to various scenarios." Zhang Ping'an said that Huawei uses three layers of artificial intelligence full stack, chip layer, and computing power adaptation layer. Framework to build the root technology and infrastructure of artificial intelligence.
Zhang Pingan introduced that the artificial intelligence computing center is one of the platform innovations.
In Wuhan, through the HUAWEI CLOUD one-stop AI development platform to create a computing power cloud alliance, the Wuhan Artificial Intelligence Center's computing power will be connected with the AI computing power of HUAWEI CLOUD, achieving computing power sharing, and providing abundant AI computing for local universities and scientific research institutions. To promote the development of AI applications.
In addition, the forum set up roundtable dialogue sessions with the themes of "AI Accurate Empowerment, Helping the "Double Carbon" Strategy" and "Building a New Future of Trustworthy AI". Experts, scholars and entrepreneurs discussed how to use AI in the context of smart economy Technology reduces costs and increases efficiency, transforms and upgrades, achieves carbon peak and carbon neutral goals as soon as possible, and uses credible AI to create a better picture of work and life.
