China News Service, Beijing, March 7 (Reporter Li Jinlei) With artificial intelligence becoming the global focus, the 2024 Chinese government work report proposed the launch of the "artificial intelligence +" action for the first time.
From the previous "Internet +" to today's "artificial intelligence +", China has focused on improving "quality" with "intelligence".
The concept of "artificial intelligence +" has excited the industry. Some observers believe that this is China's iterative upgrade from the "Internet Era" to the "Artificial Intelligence Era".
According to Zhou Hongyi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and founder of 360 Group, this means that the country will strengthen top-level design and accelerate the formation of new productive forces powered by artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence can give birth to new technologies, new products, new industries, new business formats, and new models. For China, which is seeking new economic momentum and high-quality development, "artificial intelligence +" has become an important starting point to create new quality productivity.
Liu Qingfeng, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of iFlytek, told a reporter from China News Service that artificial intelligence technology represented by large models will profoundly change the current industrial form in which manpower and time are the main business models, and fundamentally reshape the industry. global competitiveness.
From smart manufacturing to smart medical care, from autonomous driving to smart homes, the power of "artificial intelligence +" has begun to emerge.
People expect it to bring revolutionary changes to all walks of life, improve production efficiency and service quality, and create new business models and economic growth points.
At the same time, this is also the need for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries to promote high-quality development.
Developing new productive forces does not mean neglecting or abandoning traditional industries.
Artificial intelligence empowers thousands of industries, promotes the high-end, intelligent, and green transformation of traditional industries, and helps "old trees sprout new shoots."
"The ultimate goal of the digital economy is intelligence, otherwise it will be big but not strong, fast but not excellent." He Han, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Shanxi Data Traffic Valley, said that many industries already have a digital and networked foundation. When intelligent upgrades further reduce costs and improve quality and efficiency.
Therefore, from "Internet +" to "Artificial Intelligence +" is not only a simple name change, but also a profound transformation and upgrade.
So, how to carry out the "artificial intelligence +" action?
Yang Jie, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of China Mobile, suggested focusing on the people's needs for a better life in education, medical care, elderly care, entertainment and other fields, and accelerating the deployment of strategic emerging technologies such as super-large intelligent computing centers, humanoid robots, unmanned driving, and future biology. Industry and the new track of future industries, "Let artificial intelligence not only be able to write poetry, but also be able to do things."
He Han pointed out that the general large model can be combined with various fields such as industry, science, government affairs, finance, energy, transportation, biomedicine, and spatial geography.
Use industry data sets to train models and create industry vertical large models for intelligent decision-making, which has gradually become the current standard approach to intelligent development.
In 2017, China’s State Council issued the “New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan.”
Liu Qingfeng suggested that we should target the shortcomings of general artificial intelligence, formulate a national general artificial intelligence development plan around the construction of an independent and controllable computing power ecosystem, open sharing of high-quality data, and talent training, and promote the formulation and implementation of the plan at a high level.
What cannot be ignored is that, as a disruptive technology with wide impact, artificial intelligence may also bring about problems such as changing the employment structure, impacting laws and social ethics, and infringing on personal privacy.
Zhang Yi, a representative of the National People's Congress and director of the Institute of Social Development Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that in the end, one principle must be adhered to: artificial intelligence is artificially controlled intelligence, rather than intelligence controlling people.
