The source innovation of AI requires a good innovation environment, respect for talents, and full exchange of academics.
On August 29th, the three-day 2019 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (hereinafter referred to as WAIC 2019) officially kicked off in Shanghai.
Compared with last year, this year’s conference has higher specifications, attracting more than 500 top universities and industry leaders from around the world, leading international guests, international academic leaders, academic leaders and business leaders, as well as many well-known technologies at home and abroad. The company is competing to release the world’s most advanced AI technology and innovations.
At the opening ceremony held in the morning, Li Qiang, secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, delivered the opening speech. The deputy secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee and Mayor Ying Yong presided over the opening ceremony. Tom Mitchell, Dean of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, Ma Huateng, Chairman and CEO of Tencent, and Shen Xiangyang, Global Executive Vice President of Microsoft, and Tang Xiaoou, Founder of Shangtang Technology and Professor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, gave their opening speeches. Alibaba Chairman Ma Yun and Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk conducted a high-end dialogue.
In the opening speech by Professor Tang Xiaoou entitled “AI+ From China”, through a series of classic Chinese original art films, the origin of Chinese original spirit and original power was traced. He believes that the environment of innovation is very important. The Chinese people have innovative genes. The original Chinese requirements are not high.
He also invited Tesla’s Elon Musk to watch the recent hot Chinese original film, “Where the Children’s Devils Come into the World”, and feel the charm of Chinese originality.
Afterwards, Professor Tang combined with Shangtang Technology’s original AI technology and solutions to further explain how to change from “original” to “source innovation”.
The three points of the “source” word three points of water represent the three core elements of source innovation:
The first drop of water represents a good environment for innovation, protects intellectual property, respects originality, and allows original creators to eat;
The second drop of water represents respect for talents, attaches importance to personnel training, AI+ education, and has a decade of trees and trees, so that the original “far from the source”;
The third drop of water represents the full exchange of academics, in order to collide with the spark of thought. AI needs to break through the boundaries between traditional industries, break through the boundaries between academics and industry, and break through the boundaries of scholarship. AI needs everyone’s exchanges and cooperation. With these three points, the living water at the source naturally comes.
The following is the full text of Professor Tang Xiaoou’s speech:
Respect leaders, guests, friends, good morning!
Today I want to share with you a story about China’s “source” creation, the source of innovation, and the “source” of three waters.
Now everyone knows the importance of dataSex, so I will start from a data, 4.5 billion, A lot of money! Don’t misunderstand, this is not the valuation of Shang Tang, nor the amount of financing, this is until today, “Where is the child’s devil come into the world The box office receipt of this movie, a box office receipt of Chinese original cartoons in China, is a miracle.
There are many reasons for this miracle. I think the most fundamental reasons are two. The first reason is very simple. In the past few years, we started to buy tickets to watch movies, and piracy is almost gone. When the original authors get the market return they deserve, they can eat and have the strength to create a miracle. Therefore, we have always emphasized the innovation environment. In fact, it is very simple to say, it is to respect the original!
I haven’t seen this movie yet. I am going to look at it today, so tomorrow’s box office will rise by more than 100 yuan.
The second reason for the miracle of “Where is the devil’s coming to the world” is that the Chinese originally had innovative genes.
In fact, 40 years ago, in 1979, wherever there was a sea, the students over the age of 40 should remember the cartoon “Where is the sea”.
Where is the “Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio”, she has created a lot of excellent works, “The Big Miscellaneous Heaven”, “Where is the Sea”, “The Story of Avanti”, “Three Monks” … are all from Shanghai Meiying Factory. According to incomplete statistics, it has 48 art films winning 69 awards in China, and 45 art films have won 73 awards in the world.
These successes come from the original spirit of Shanghai Meiying Factory. “I don’t want to imitate!” is the mantra of the first director, Tewei – I will not copy! Today, we should pay tribute to these Chinese masters who “I don’t want to imitate!”
At the same time, I would also like to thank the Internet for not being there, so there is no problem of piracy. China’s original requirements are not high, just give a little sunshine!
In a few hours, the film will also be available in the North American film market. (Professor Tang Xiaoou immediately invited Mr. Elon Musk, co-founder and CEO of Tesla, to watch the film. He told Mr. Musk to watch in Shanghai or return to the United States. If he feels good, he can send a Twitter. If it feels bad, Nothing to say.)
Now let us look at it from a spatial perspective. The change in the land that has taken place at the foot of 40 years is where we are now meeting.
In 1979, satellite remote sensing images, from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, there were a large number of shacks and cultivated land. Xu Li, CEO of Shangtang Technology, was a Shanghai native. He told me that Pudong was: “Ning want Puxi A bed does not have a room in Pudong.”
Let’s take a look at the changes in roads, buildings, green spaces, and water bodies in the past 40 years. This year, from the perspective of various indicators, the modernization of this area has reached the formerUnused height.

Last year, my speech at the opening ceremony of the 2018 World Artificial Intelligence Conference was “Artificial Intelligence Love (AI) Without Borders”, which stated that “there is no AI industry, only AI+ industry. AI needs and tradition Industrial cooperation, to help traditional industries improve production efficiency and liberate productivity, AI can empower all industries.
In addition to the AI+ remote sensing just mentioned, in fact, AI has started to go to our clothing, food and shelter, and I will not elaborate on this today.
Today, I want to talk about the topic of AI+ people. The first word of artificial intelligence is people. With top talents, first-class AI is just a matter of course.
Let’s take a look at this photo. Please turn your attention from the title on the right side of the photo to the left side of the photo. Here the young female engineer named Dai Juan, graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong laboratory more than 10 years ago. When she went to the top university in the United States for a full scholarship, she gave up and chose to work as a product manager at Microsoft because she liked to create new things. Later she became one of the best product managers at Microsoft China Academy of Engineering and was quickly transferred to the United States. Microsoft headquarters, then digging into the product manager of Siri, and then she returned to Shang Tang, becoming one of the best product development and engineering leaders of Shang Tang.
Because of a group of talents like Dai Juan, Shang Tang has gotten today. But China’s AI, only they are not enough, we need a lot of innovative talent.
Dai Juan is currently the person in charge of the Shangtang education product line. He and his colleagues have built the brand of Shangtang Education and are committed to cultivating more AI talents. Shang Tang published the world’s first high school AI textbook and training platform and a series of AI lab courses in Shanghai last year. Here are the small experiments for two students:
This is a driverless car that integrates almost all the sensors on an unmanned vehicle. Students can do various autopilot experiments on this car.
This smart garbage classification is the work of students from Shanghai Luwan Senior High School. This year, Shangtang and Shanghai Huangpu District Education Bureau jointly established the artificial intelligence benchmark school with Shanghai Luwan High School as a pilot. Luwan High School also listed the “Shangtang Technology Experimental Middle School”. The significance of this experiment is to solve the pain points of garbage classification, the cleaners no longer need to ask, what garbage are you? AI tells you directly that you are recyclable.
The AI education also includes the university. During the 2018 World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai last year, 15 universities and business schools around the world, such as MIT, Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiaotong University, jointly launched the “Global University Labor”. The Initiative of the Smart Academic Alliance. This year, this academic alliance officially settled in the West Bank of Shanghai, dedicated to building the world’s topArtificial intelligence academic exchange and cooperation platform. AI needs international cooperation and exchange.
Finally, how do you change from “original” to “source innovation”? The three points of the “source” word three points of water represent the three core elements of source innovation:
The first point of water, a good environment for innovation is to protect intellectual property rights and respect originality. Simply put, the original creators can eat enough;
The second point of water, respect for talents, emphasis on talent training, AI+ education, ten years of trees and trees, can make the original “long source”;
The third point of water, academic full communication, can collide with the spark of thought, AI needs to break through the boundaries between traditional industries, break through the boundaries between academic and industrial, break through the academic boundaries, AI needs everyone’s exchange and cooperation; /p>
With these three points, the living water at the source naturally comes.
As the national “smart vision” artificial intelligence open innovation platform, WAIC strategic partner, on the morning of August 31, Shangtang Technology will also hold the “Zhi Huan New Kinetic Energy” artificial intelligence theme forum in the red hall of Shanghai World Expo Center. Invite a number of experts, scholars and business leaders from home and abroad to discuss the technological innovation and development direction of artificial intelligence and how to empower the industry from the perspective of integration of production, education and research, and bring new impetus to the development of the enterprise.
