Yang Fan, co-founder and vice president of Shangtang Group, shared the topic of AI infrastructure supporting the development of technology industry. Yang Fan, co-founder and vice-president of Shangtang Group (0020. HK), said on October 26 at the Shanghai Consulting Forum - Lingang New Area Open Innovation Summit Forum that the application of artificial intelligence in China is in full swing, but compared with foreign countries, there is still a gap in AI research and innovation across fields and industries. In the last two years, a big emerging trend in the world's mainstream scientific research is to use AI to solve problems in traditional disciplines When all walks of life move towards deep technological innovation, artificial intelligence is an effective weapon. How can we better serve the industry with this weapon? Yang Fan said that Shangtang's understanding is to provide efficient and low-cost AI infrastructure capabilities and open industrial ecological services. Shangtang Advanced Computing Infrastructure AIDC (Artificial Intelligence Computing Center), located in the port of Shanghai, is one of the largest artificial intelligence computing centers in Asia, focusing on enabling four application scenarios: automatic driving, smart city, scientific research and the meta universe. AI has been widely used in the field of scientific research and education, promoting the emergence of new paradigms of scientific research and education. For example, AI technology is an auxiliary means to predict protein structure, which greatly shortens the prediction time and improves the prediction accuracy through large-scale learning. "In the last two years, a big emerging trend in the world's mainstream scientific research community is to use AI tools and methods to solve problems in traditional disciplines, including the use of AI to analyze protein structures last year and the use of AI to solve high-dimensional matrix equations this year. AI has begun to form a new driving force, and if we can make good use of it, we can take a certain lead in future scientific and technological development." Yang Fan said that the application of artificial intelligence in China is in full swing, but compared with foreign countries, China still has a gap in cross field and cross industry AI scientific research and innovation, so we need to increase the investment in artificial intelligence and scientific research. Shangtang has cooperated with the National Protein Science Center (Shanghai). Shangtang's scientific research and computing power service platform+large scientific device platform services support Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University and other universities, and enable scientific research development with computing power. "We hope to better support scientific and technological innovation through AI infrastructure." As a new form of interaction and integration of virtual world and real world, the universe contains huge opportunities for many scene changes. The realization of the meta universe requires the support of high-speed communication networks, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other new technologies. Super computing power is the support behind these technologies. Yang Fan said that in addition to supporting the application of the meta universe in the field of consumer entertainment, AI infrastructure can also boost intelligent manufacturing, industrial technology improvement and efficiency improvement. In addition, smart city is the core carrier of building digital China. With the continuous evolution of business, customization needs, long tail needs, etc. emerge, and the requirements for flexibility of smart city are also improved. The smart city platform needs to strengthen automatic learning and iteration capabilities. Taking the construction of smart city in Lingang New Area as an example, Shanghai Investment Consulting Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the above)
