On May 20, the press conference of the Third Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was held. Guo Weimin, spokesman for the conference, briefed the Chinese and foreign media on the conference and answered questions from reporters.

  Reporter from Phoenix TV and Phoenix Network in Hong Kong: We are particularly concerned that in the process of fighting the new coronary pneumonia epidemic in mainland China, whether it is artificial intelligence, big data or 5G has played a very unique and very important role. What important role has the CPPCC played in promoting the development and application of these new technologies?

  Guo Weimin: Indeed, in this fight against the epidemic, big data, artificial intelligence, 5G and other new technologies have played an important role. Using big data, we can conduct real-time monitoring of the development of the epidemic situation and the movement of people, which effectively improves the pertinence and efficiency of prevention and control. Intelligent robots have played a very good role in entering the hospital, entering the isolation area, delivering food and medicine, and guiding doctors and doctors. Through 5G technology, we broadcast live the construction process of Vulcan Mountain and Raytheon Mountain Hospital, and hundreds of millions of netizens have become "cloud supervisors" who witness the miracle of China. In addition, the 5G + remote consultation system brings together the most elite professional force for medical treatment. Distance education has realized "no suspension of classes", and remote office provides strong support for resuming production.

  Guo Weimin: It can be seen that after years of continuous accumulation, China has made important progress in the field of new technologies, and a number of leading backbone enterprises are accelerating their growth. In order to promote the development of new technologies, China has continuously improved the top-level design, and successively issued a series of policy measures to guide the majority of enterprises to actively innovate and continue to expand open cooperation, and achieved remarkable results. Recently, the central government has proposed to speed up the construction of "new infrastructure", which will push new technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and 5G into a faster development stage.

  Guo Weimin: The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference has always paid close attention to the development of new technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and 5G. It discusses and studies in various forms every year, and puts forward opinions and suggestions. Last year, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference conducted a survey on the theme of "promoting the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and manufacturing", and put forward opinions and suggestions to the relevant competent departments. The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference organized the "Committee Lectures" program, and invited experts from the CPPCC National Committee to introduce 5G knowledge to the general public. Some members also put forward many valuable opinions and suggestions on the development of related new technologies by submitting proposals and discussing on the mobile duty platform. Some members suggested that while accelerating the development of new technologies, we should also pay attention to protecting personal privacy and network security.

  Guo Weimin: New technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and 5G are strategic technologies that lead future development, new engines of economic growth, and new historical opportunities for social development. The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will continue to pay attention to and help promote new technologies to better serve the society and the public.
