Beijing, May 5 (Reporter Song Yusheng) "I think that the current development of artificial intelligence has made it possible for general intelligence to empower all walks of life and thousands of households. We have entered such a new phase. ”
On May 5, Huang Tiejun, secretary-general of the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance and president of Beijing KLCII Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, pointed out in an interview with reporters.

At the Zhongguancun Forum parallel forum Artificial Intelligence Open Ecosystem Construction Forum, Zhou Bin, CTO of Huawei's Ascend Computing Business, held a similar view: "The new generation of generative AI provides powerful tools for our production and life, and they are profoundly changing the entire society, and everyone will be affected. ”
Zhou Bin believes that artificial intelligence will become a booster in human work and life, and at the same time, through such tools, new formats, new jobs, and new value will be created.

In fact, artificial intelligence has begun to penetrate human work and life.
Fu Yingbo, partner and president of Megvii, gave several examples in the forum.
After some logistics and warehousing customers applied the operating system including artificial intelligence technology, the factory has achieved 24-hour uninterrupted operation, realizing the effect of "black light factory" and increasing efficiency by 50%.
Cameras incorporating AI algorithms are also installed on the mine's coal conveyor belts to enable dynamic coal flow monitoring. "By monitoring the weight of the coal flow on the belt in real time, idle operation can be carried out when there is little or no coal flow, and the coal flow will run at high speed, minimizing the energy consumption of idling and reducing the loss of the belt." Fu Yingbo said.

But humans still have a lot of work to do before AI can really enter millions of households.
"Some people joke that ChatGPT is a miracle. The 'force' here largely refers to computing power. Zhou Bin bluntly said in an interview with the media that the large models applied to artificial intelligence today are very consuming computing power, so it can also be said that the ability of artificial intelligence depends on computing power.
This means that computing power is like "infrastructure" to artificial intelligence.
"If one day, artificial intelligence becomes ubiquitous, then computing power infrastructure will also be ubiquitous." Zhou Bin predicts that in the near future, artificial intelligence computing systems are likely to become new infrastructure, "just like today's water, electricity, communications, and networks."
According to the exponentially growing AI computing power growth curve, such a future may not be far away. (End)
