Interviewing in Wuzhen, Zhejiang, various artificial intelligence technologies are eye opening. In the naked eye 3D video call experience cabin, the images of both parties are presented in three dimensions on the screen, and even thousands of miles apart, they seem within reach; Standing in front of a green screen for a few seconds, you can obtain an intelligent video with yourself as the protagonist; The robot picks up two seedlings, with one "hand" removing the head and the other "hand" removing the root, and then automatically graft them in the middle, with a speed of 700 plants per hour... At the 2024 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, new products and new applications in the field of artificial intelligence were highlighted and attracted people's attention. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "artificial intelligence is a strategic technology leading this round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, with a strong spillover effect of the 'leading goose'." This year's "Government Work Report" proposes to "carry out the 'Artificial Intelligence+' action. According to the Blue Book of China Internet Development Report 2024, there will be 148 new AI enterprises and more than 4500 AI core enterprises in China in 2023; By the end of 2023, the effective number of artificial intelligence invention patents reached 378000, with a year-on-year growth rate of over 40%. From basic software to humanoid robots, from large models to computing power networks, artificial intelligence continues to promote the integration and development of the digital economy and the real economy, becoming a new engine for economic development. If the main value of the Internet is to connect people, goods, information and services through a platform, then the role of AI is to "empower" and provide a powerful tool to better meet the needs of life and work. For example, using a large model of drug molecules, a pharmaceutical company can complete a million level virtual screening of drugs in one day. For example, a research team from a certain university used algorithms to achieve rapid prediction and precise directional design of electrolyte molecular properties. An entrepreneur exclaimed at the Wuzhen Summit, 'We are now in the greatest moment of technological change in history.'. Looking ahead to the future, intelligent healthcare can help doctors make accurate diagnoses, intelligent education can equip every student with digital teachers, and intelligent robots can take care of the daily lives of the elderly... Providing convenience in life and assisting in precision production, artificial intelligence technology has great potential. From a longer historical perspective, the leapfrog development of technology and disruptive innovation of tools often enhance human well-being, but also bring risks and challenges. Artificial intelligence is no exception. Some extreme cases remind us that in the process of promoting technological development, we should carefully evaluate its social impact and ensure that technology is for the good. In reality, cases of artificial intelligence writing graduation theses and year-end summaries have emerged. People cannot help but worry that the rapidly advancing artificial intelligence may become an accomplice to invading personal privacy or a cheap tool for committing fraud crimes? This calls for us to be proactive and take action from the perspectives of law, morality, and social governance. Some people compare the arrival of artificial intelligence technology to the "heavy rain of summer", which "rushed towards us before we could even open our umbrellas". At present, the ability of artificial intelligence is comparable to that of the human brain in many aspects, but it cannot accurately distinguish right from wrong in terms of value. This means that it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and regulation of artificial intelligence from multiple aspects. In recent years, many countries, including China, have introduced artificial intelligence development plans, management measures, and regulatory principles to ensure that technology truly serves people and benefits society. No matter to what extent artificial intelligence develops, it originates from human design and is an extension of human intelligence. Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more intelligent, and we must take precautions to ensure that it always remains a 'friend'. (New Society)
