Chinanews.com, Beijing, October 8 (Reporter Xia Bin) In the "double wave" of traditional industry changes under the impact of the digital age and the impact of the epidemic, the development of the global artificial intelligence industry has become a general trend.

The recently released "Blue Book on the Development of the Artificial Intelligence Industry in 2021" shows that the global artificial intelligence core industry is expected to exceed one trillion yuan in the past three years, and the connected real economy market is as high as more than 20 trillion yuan.

  According to the blue book, under the current development, artificial intelligence has shown four new development directions: first, AI chips rely on their performance advantages to increase cross-border data center business; second, artificial intelligence technology-level companies start to go upstream and downstream Expanding business; third, in the post-epidemic era, the development of multiple tracks of "AI + medical" is expected to accelerate; fourth, the process of manufacturing digitalization is accelerated, and the potential of "AI + manufacturing" will be released.

  Make production smarter, make cities smarter, and make life more convenient... With the joint efforts of all parties in industry, academia, research and use, China's artificial intelligence industry is becoming a new driving force for high-quality development. How can we continue to firmly grasp artificial intelligence in the future? Industry opportunity?

  From a trend perspective, He Guili, vice chairman of the Internet Society of China, said that during the epidemic, artificial intelligence technology was widely used in epidemic monitoring and analysis, medical rescue, and resumption of work and production, providing effective support for epidemic prevention and control.

The integration of artificial intelligence and industry has been accelerating, and the real economy has been deeply empowered. Significant progress has been made in the application of medical care, autonomous driving, and industrial intelligence.

But we must also see that the scale of artificial intelligence has become more rational and its growth rate has slowed down.

  From a technical point of view, Sun Mingchun, chief economist of Haitong International, believes that at present, China has ranked among the top in the world in a number of indicators in the field of artificial intelligence, and its overall strength is second only to the United States in the world.

  In his view, as China will focus on filling the shortcomings of the basic layer in the next few years, especially its efforts to break through the "stuck neck" problem of key core technologies such as smart chips and high-end component technologies, China is expected to be better. The overall industrial chain layout of artificial intelligence will soon be realized. By then, the application of artificial intelligence technology in China and the development of the industry will be further accelerated, and exponential growth may occur.

  From the application point of view, Baifen Technology CTO Liu Yijing pointed out that in the process of gradual implementation of data intelligence in the industry, only data, technology and business will be integrated and innovated, turning technical data into industry knowledge, and then driving intelligent applications. , Provide a closed loop from perception, cognition, decision-making to action for the business, so that the government and enterprises can realize digital and intelligent transformation.

  "The application of China's artificial intelligence industry is at the forefront of the world." Liu Yijing said bluntly that this is inseparable from China's huge market.

From the deployment of new infrastructure in recent years to the "14th Five-Year Plan" that has been launched, the authorities have put forward requirements for artificial intelligence and digital technology, which will drive the application of technology, and the market will also flourish in this context.

  At the "Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Manufacturing Special" event of the 2021 Zhongguancun Forum New Technology and Product Launch and Promotion Conference held recently, a number of new technologies and new products were unveiled.

  Among them, Baifen Technology has launched a new generation of data intelligent decision-making system DeepMatrix3.0, which mainly includes four functional modules: data middle station, knowledge middle station, AI middle station and intelligent application, and has been used in digital city, emergency management, public safety, Ecological environment, media publishing, retail and other industry applications.

  Sun Mingchun also mentioned that due to the wide range of application scenarios and the sufficient depth of the market, China has a unique advantage in data accumulation for the application of artificial intelligence technology.

This not only helps the commercialization and industrialization of artificial intelligence technology, but also helps R&D personnel use a large amount of high-quality data to improve the accuracy of algorithms and models, and iteratively update them to enhance the commercial value of artificial intelligence technology.

"Once artificial intelligence companies achieve commercial profitability, their investment in artificial intelligence technology research and development will be more sustainable, and the development of the industry will become unstoppable."

  In view of the risks and challenges that artificial intelligence technology may bring to economic, social, ethical and other fields, the attitude of regulators is crucial to the development of the industry.

  Sun Mingchun stated that the Chinese government has adopted a gradual, balanced, and more flexible regulatory arrangement for the development of artificial intelligence technology, which can not only adapt to the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology and business models, but also fill up regulatory gaps and avoid regulatory arbitrage, which is beneficial to Chinese labor. Long-term sustainable development of smart related industries.
