It is expected to become a basic tool for the transformation and upgrading of various industries, and drive a wider range of innovation.

  "Artificial intelligence +" empowers thousands of industries

  Helping industries accelerate transformation and upgrading

  VR experience, smart home, smart manufacturing… With the development and maturity of technology, artificial intelligence is deeply integrated with all walks of life, affecting all aspects of people’s production and life.

  The report mentioned that artificial intelligence not only continues to empower in manufacturing, service industry, agriculture, medical and other fields, but also shows great potential to break through the bottleneck of traditional scientific research capabilities in the field of scientific research.

  According to industry experts, "artificial intelligence +" refers to artificial intelligence as a basic and driving technical force, which is related to manufacturing, medical,The in-depth integration of transportation, agriculture, and other fields has created new products, services, and business models, thus promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and the transformation of social and economic structures.

  Relying on the large railway model, high-speed rail inspectionThe accurate application of multi-modal fusion diagnosis technology has been realized, which has greatly improved the safety and efficiency of railway maintenance; the mine model has promoted the large-scale "downhole" of artificial intelligence; the weather model solves the weather prediction problem through AI inference, and the weather can be predicted for 7 days using a card…

  "Launching the’artificial intelligence + ‘campaign will promote artificial intelligence to empower key areas in an orderly manner, accelerate the reshaping of the industrial ecology, and cultivate new drivers of economic development." Yu Xiaohui said that in the future, artificial intelligence will play a more important role in promoting industrial upgrading and accelerating the formation of new productivity.

  At this year’s Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, many guests believed that artificial intelligence has become a driving force for economic and social development, and we should give full play to the unique advantages of rich application scenarios in our country’s super-sized market, accelerate the scientific and technological innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, and cultivate new momentum for economic development with high-quality development and high-level application of artificial intelligence.

  Building a unified standard

  Guiding technology "Intelligent for good"

  As artificial intelligence continues to make breakthroughs, while technology is empowering, the "double-edged sword" effect of advanced technology is gradually emerging. For example, artificial intelligence through collection and analysisThis could lead to personal privacy breaches, data breaches, and cyber attacks; it could contribute to illegal activities such as online fraud by generating fake photos or videos; it could also pose ethical issues, military security risks, and so on.

  In response to the risks caused by artificial intelligence out of control or malicious abuse, the "Report" pointed out that it is necessary to establish systems and rules around the legal and regulatory issues that may be encountered in the development of artificial intelligence, and to study and formulate artificial intelligence-related services, standards, safety and other regulations, so as to lay a legal foundation for the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology.

  In terms of establishing unified norms and standards and ensuring the safe and healthy development of the field of artificial intelligence, relevant policies and regulations have been continuously improved. On August 15, 2023, the Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services came into effect. As the first legal document for the generative artificial intelligence industry in our country, this measure regulates the development of generative artificial intelligence from the aspects of technological development and governance, service specifications, supervision and inspection, and legal responsibility.

  On January 17, 2024, MIIT released the "National Artificial Intelligence Industry Comprehensive Standardization System Construction Guide" (exposure draft), proposing a standard system for the high-quality development of the artificial intelligence industry to better promote the healthy development of the artificial intelligence industry.

  How to prevent the risks that artificial intelligence may bring and ensure that artificial intelligence serves human well-being? The participants believed that in order to make good use of and manage artificial intelligence, it is necessary to use "non-artificial intelligence" methods to give full play to the power of systems and regulations and prevent the disorderly development of artificial intelligence.

  On issues such as promoting the orderly and good development of artificial intelligence, experts said that generative artificial intelligence is accelerating its development, constantly giving birth to new industries, new tracks, and new models, which is an important breakthrough point for the layout of future industries. In the face of the complexity of generative artificial intelligence, security measures should be integrated into the whole life cycle to help build a good network space content ecology and escort the orderly development of the generative artificial intelligence service industry.
