On June 21, the Shanghai Municipal Government Information Office held a municipal government press conference. Wu Jincheng, director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economic Information Technology, introduced the 2021 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.
The main features of this conference can be summarized by three “most”, which are the latest frontier direction, the most industry-wide ecology, and the best application experience. The latest frontier direction is reflected in three aspects: more heavy guests, more focused topics, and more cutting-edge achievements.
On the topic of hot topics, on the one hand, focusing on national strategies, responding to global concerns, and in-depth discussions on “trusted AI”, “AI and carbon peaks, carbon neutrality,” and “elimination” Hot topics such as “digital divide”. On the other hand, the conference has a matrix layout of forum activities, that is, around focus areas such as algorithms, chips, investment and financing, and encourages multiple units to hold forums from different angles to discuss topics from more dimensions.
In particular, this year’s conference will focus on open source frameworks, AI and brain science, cognitive intelligence, privacy computing, AI and quantum computing, etc., and create nearly 20 professional academic forums . In addition, this year’s AI night talk event will take “Pujiang AI on Digital Homeland” as the theme. The “two highlands” on both sides of the Pujiang River will continue the “AI”, and the Pudong “Shanghai Center” will be cut from the perspective of people’s concerns. Imagine the digital homeland; Xuhui “Smart Tower Field” will gather multiple camps such as “new car-building forces, technology enablers, and investment boosters” to stir up the debate that intelligent driving can reach the goal.
In terms of cutting-edge achievements, the TOP30 list released by the SAIL Awards of the conference includes super-large-scale models such as Huawei “Pangu” and Ali ALiceMind, Baidu Flying Paddle, First-Class Technology and other self-developed frameworks, the latest smart chips such as Cambrian, Tianshu Zhixin, Horizon, and Denglin, as well as the world’s first robotic chemist, non-cranial flexible brain-computer interface and other “black technologies”. The final SAIL award will be presented at the conference. The opening ceremony was announced. During the conference, cutting-edge achievements such as the country’s first “Trusted AI White Paper” and “Magnolia Open Data License Agreement” will also be released.
