Let Artificial Intelligence Become Intelligent Kinetic Energy

From the gradual application of face recognition to the burgeoning autonomous driving, artificial intelligence is playing a role in more and more fields. The Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other 6 departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating Scenario Innovation and Promoting High-quality Economic Development with High-level Application of Artificial Intelligence" to coordinate the innovation of artificial intelligence scenarios; the Ministry of Science and Technology issued "On Supporting the Construction of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence" "Notice of Demonstration Application Scenarios" to support the construction of 10 artificial intelligence demonstration application scenarios including smart farms and smart ports... Recently, policies and measures to help cultivate artificial intelligence application scenarios have been introduced one after another, in order to promote the implementation of artificial intelligence. a favorable policy environment.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Artificial intelligence is a strategic technology leading this round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and has a 'head goose' effect with strong spillover driving force." As an enabling means, the integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy can lead the way Industrial transformation breeds new industries, new models and new formats; as a tool to serve people's better life, the application of artificial intelligence can help improve the quality of life and meet people's consumption upgrade needs. Whether it is to improve the quality and efficiency of traditional industries or cultivate new economic growth points, people have high hopes for the new generation of information technology represented by the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence.

Application demand is an important driving force for technological progress. In order to promote the application of artificial intelligence, the State Council issued the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" in 2017. As of December 2021, there have been 17 national new generation artificial intelligence innovation and development pilot zones. It is estimated that the scale of my country's artificial intelligence core industry exceeds 400 billion yuan, and the number of enterprises exceeds 3,000. Thanks to the strong demand brought by massive data processing and the test soil provided by rich application scenarios, my country is at the forefront of the world in the fields of computer vision and speech recognition. The technology that is tempered, iterated and improved in the application practice, in turn, promotes the deepening of the application, thus forming a virtuous circle of mutual promotion of technological progress and application promotion. This is an important advantage for my country to develop new technologies. In the past, the development of the artificial intelligence industry has benefited from this. To promote the application of artificial intelligence to a higher level, it is still necessary to make good use of this advantage.

With the acceleration of my country's digital infrastructure construction, more potential application scenarios will continue to emerge. Smart manufacturing, smart cities, smart mines, and smart supply chains provide a broad stage for expanding AI applications. In this regard, it is necessary to speed up the expansion of application scenarios, conduct large-scale market exploration, and create a batch of replicable and popularized benchmarking demonstration application scenarios. Accelerating the implementation of new technologies will help maintain the advantages of my country's artificial intelligence development. Explore more application scenarios, focus on opening up the landing link, and promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and related industries, and artificial intelligence applications will definitely play a greater role.

It should be noted that the development of artificial intelligence industry is a systematic project. For example, to support the upgrade of autonomous driving, in addition to "smart" cars, there is also a need for "smart" roads, which is inseparable from the creation of a good industrial ecology including technology research and development, infrastructure, and data circulation. In addition, to give full play to the advantages of application scenarios, it is also necessary to make up for the shortcomings of the underlying technology in time. While promoting the application of artificial intelligence, we should strengthen the research on software, hardware and underlying technologies, and the two should go hand in hand to enhance the stamina of industrial development and grasp the initiative of development.

I still remember that at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the children ran freely on the stage, stepping out a piece of "snowflakes" under their feet. Sometimes they spread out, sometimes they converge, and the starlight also flows with the children's footsteps. This is the magical effect brought by "artificial intelligence real-time video special effects". The next few years will be an important window period for the transition of artificial intelligence technology. With the continuous opening of application scene resources and the continuous improvement of scene innovation capabilities, the integration of artificial intelligence and industry will definitely be closer, and the application of artificial intelligence will also move towards a more advanced stage. High-level, injecting a steady stream of intelligent kinetic energy to promote high-quality economic and social development.
