Automatic access to the bus port, identification of signal lights, lane change and overtaking... In the permanent exhibition base of the world intelligence conference, the new Tianjin eco city has a "smart car + smart road", and the driverless bus has landed in reality. "During this 2.5-kilometer journey, the China Singapore Tianjin eco city transformed 7 intersections and 2 Smart buses, and realized the interconnection and coordination of vehicles, roads and urban brains through cameras, millimeter wave radars, Beidou high-precision vehicle positioning terminals, etc." Muxiaolei, the relevant person in charge of China Singapore Tianjin eco city, said that with the empowerment of artificial intelligence and other technologies, the eco city has subverted the traditional vehicle road relationship. Intellectualization also brings changes to traditional manufacturing. "In the past, the company's safety management was mainly routine monitoring, which was checked only when something happened. Now, once the AI safety patrol found that the workers in the workshop violated the rules, it will automatically remind them and correct them in time." Tangkuanjun, deputy general manager of Guizhou Jinjia new packaging materials Co., Ltd., is deeply impressed by the changes brought about by artificial intelligence. He told the reporter that after connecting to the industrial Internet platform built by Baidu intelligent Yunkai in Guiyang Economic Development Zone, the monitoring equipment is spread all over the key areas of the workshop. The ubiquitous "eyes" can catch violations in real time, react at a second speed, remind repeatedly, and escort the safe production. In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence in China has achieved positive results. According to the data of the Ministry of industry and information technology, up to now, the scale of artificial intelligence core industry has exceeded 400billion yuan, the number of enterprises has exceeded 3000, the innovation ability of smart sensors, smart connected vehicles and other landmark products has been continuously improved, the industrial system has been further improved, and the level has been steadily improved. "The layout of intelligent information infrastructure has been accelerated. 1.7 million 5g base stations have been built, 150 large-scale industrial Internet platforms have been cultivated, and more than 78million sets of industrial equipment have been connected." Xiaoyaqing, Minister of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said at the conference that artificial intelligence has accelerated its integration with manufacturing, transportation, medical treatment, people's livelihood and other fields, constantly creating new business forms, new models and new markets, and effectively promoting the digital and intelligent transformation of all walks of life. Seizing opportunities and accelerating transformation Facing the emerging strategic technology of artificial intelligence, many parties are seizing the opportunity to further strengthen policy support and accelerate the intelligent application and transformation of thousands of banks and industries. Xiaoyaqing said that we should actively cultivate the innovation ecology of artificial intelligence, vigorously cultivate intelligent products and services, launch the implementation of industry integration enabling action, cultivate and promote a number of application scenarios with large impact, strong driving force, outstanding demonstration effect and strong security guarantee ability, and promote the iterative upgrading of artificial intelligence technology in the integrated application. Promote the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, deeply implement the intelligent manufacturing project, build a number of intelligent scenes, intelligent workshops and intelligent factories, build a smart supply chain, and accelerate the digital transformation, networked collaboration and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry. "The industrial application of artificial intelligence has accelerated its penetration from the consumer end to the production end, deeply integrated with manufacturing, medical treatment, energy, transportation, urban construction and other fields, continuously innovated products and services, and comprehensively integrated into scientific, technological, economic and social development." Xinghuaibin, deputy director of the strategic planning department of the Ministry of science and technology, said that he would focus on promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence and economic and social development, and strive to solve the key problems faced by artificial intelligence in technology development and industrial application. Adhere to innovation guidance, promote the pilot areas to build artificial intelligence innovation Highlands, form a number of replicable and promotable artificial intelligence demonstration application scenarios, and create new advantages in China's artificial intelligence innovation and development. Since the State Council issued the new generation artificial intelligence development plan in 2017, China has supported 18 regions including Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin to build national new generation artificial intelligence innovation and development pilot zones, focusing on key areas, promoting the demonstration and application of scenarios such as medical treatment, education, transportation, pharmacy, finance and cities, and exploring new scenarios for the integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy. The construction of intelligent information infrastructure will also be further accelerated. The Ministry of industry and information technology said that it would orderly promote the construction of 5g network and gigabit optical network, improve the layout of new infrastructure such as industrial Internet, data center and Internet of things, and reasonably deploy supercomputing centers. Promote the in-depth development of integrated applications In the view of insiders, to develop artificial intelligence technology and accelerate the integration and application to depth, we need to promote it from multiple levels, such as enterprise and regional development, and coordinate technological innovation and security. "Increasing intelligent transformation is the core means for enterprises to use the new generation technology to realize the change of production mode, improve management and operation efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs." Zhuminghao, associate professor of Beijing Jiaotong University and executive director of China high end manufacturing research center, told the reporter of Economic Information Daily that in the next few years, the "cloud" and "intelligence" should focus on the pain points of enterprises' implementation of intelligent manufacturing, gradually reduce technology costs, develop professional products with high security and protection of enterprise data privacy, and solve the concerns of intelligent transformation of manufacturing enterprises. According to Liu Gang, director of the Institute of economics of Nankai University, the commercialization of artificial intelligence technology and the acceleration of its deep integration with the real economy need to make good use of regional advantages and adapt to local conditions. "For example, Beijing has the advantages of AI technology innovation and core industry development. Tianjin and Hebei have rich application scenarios and strong industrial foundation, which can accelerate the formation of a virtuous cycle of AI core industry sectors and integrated industry sectors in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, accelerate the opening of application scenarios, and build an AI industry cluster with global competitiveness." More and more attention has been paid to security issues. Zeng Yi, general manager of China Electronics Information Industry Group Co., Ltd., said that the development of intelligent technology industry should be based on a secure computing base, and security should run through the whole process of data governance. "We should deeply grasp the characteristics and laws of the development of the new generation of artificial intelligence, jointly promote the construction of technological innovation, infrastructure, enabling applications and governance systems, seize the development opportunities of artificial intelligence, and provide strong support for the construction of a manufacturing power, a network power and a digital China."
