Global Artificial Intelligence Technology Expo 2023.
The expo (hosted by the Chinese Institute of Workers' Intelligence and the Hangzhou Municipal People's Government for four days) has one more day tomorrow.
I went shopping the morning before yesterday. The scene is still relatively lively. Young audiences are predominant. Many adults also bring their children over to perceive the future together.
The so-called artificial intelligence technology is actually to let the machine learn like a human, thereby replacing some of the functions of the person. For example, some machines will listen like people, some will see like people, some will speak like people, and even operate like people.
I personally believe that machines can partially replace human functions, completely replace human machines, in fact, there is no such thing as a global reality. Maybe machines can think, but machines will never have complex emotions like people. The reason why the world wants to develop artificial intelligence technology is to increase productivity and liberate people from some difficult labor fields, partially or completely. For example, port transportation, medical and health care, education and training, industrial and agricultural manufacturing, and so on.

I saw at the expo site that there are nine theme exhibition areas, namely the core exhibition area, the large model exhibition area, the autonomous driving exhibition area, the intelligent interaction exhibition area, the AR/VR exhibition area, the industrial vision exhibition area, the intelligent medical exhibition area, the intelligent chip exhibition area, and the robot exhibition area.
From the names of the above nine theme exhibition areas, people can roughly know the current application and development of global artificial intelligence technology.
I learned on the spot that there are 7 exhibitors in the core exhibition area, which should be benchmark level. They are: Alibaba Cloud Computing Co., Ltd., Yinjiang Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Hailansin Data Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Painting Dragon Information Technology Co., Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., and iFLYTEK Co., Ltd.
The application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of intelligent interaction is still relatively hot, and the number of exhibitors in this exhibition area reached 17, which is the largest number of exhibitors, mainly from Hangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai.
There are 2 exhibitors in the smart chip exhibition area, namely Shanghai Fengyuan Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing Lingxi Technology Co., Ltd.
There are 3 exhibitors in the robot exhibition area, namely Hangzhou Blue Core Technology Co., Ltd., Honglong Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. and Beijing Iron Man Technology Co., Ltd.
There are 4 exhibitors in the autonomous driving exhibition area, namely Dongfeng Yuexiang Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Main Line Technology Co., Ltd., Zhongke Yuan Power Technology Co., Ltd., and Hangzhou Jianzhi Robot Technology Co., Ltd.
The number of exhibitors in several other exhibition areas is similar, with 7 as few as and 11 as many.

I was in the big model exhibition area and learned about Hangzhou Xieyun Technology Co., Ltd. Founded in 2016, the company is a cloud computing underlying operating system provider with independent intellectual property rights and core technologies. With a domestic independent and controllable operating system, it provides cloud-native products and solutions covering the entire life cycle of enterprise cloud construction, cloud management, and cloud use, and promotes the digital transformation of enterprises. Now it has developed into a leading enterprise of cloud native software in China, and has been rated as a national specialized and special new "little giant" enterprise, a national high-tech enterprise, and has built a provincial R&D center and an industry-university-research cooperation base. The core team is from the School of Computer Science of Zhejiang University, has been deeply engaged in cloud native underlying technology for more than 10 years, and is a domestic cloud native evangelist.
Based on container technology, Harmonic Cloud has created core technologies such as large-scale management, fault isolation, and lightweight edge technology. He is a founding member of the CNCF Foundation and has contributed more than 20 million lines of core code to international top open source community projects, ranking among the top in the world.
As the first batch of practitioners of cloud native technology industrialization in China, harmonic cloud products have landed in more than 200 customer enterprises, and maintain long-term and stable cooperation with industry leading enterprises. It has also established typical cases in many fields such as communications, finance, transportation, energy, and information innovation. For example, it has built the world's largest customer service cloud, providing support capabilities for 1 billion users; Realized the cloud native of core businesses such as mobile banking; Take the lead in realizing large-scale access to million-level Internet of Vehicles; Realize the localization of similar products in a number of financial and people's livelihood projects. Wait a minute.
I saw an unmanned shuttle bus (manufactured by Dongfeng Yuexiang Technology Co., Ltd.) in the autonomous driving exhibition area, which looked strange. I felt it inside, and it was still relatively spacious and comfortable. The staff told me that it is generally used in closed places such as scenic spots and industrial parks. Although it is unmanned, it will still be equipped with a safety officer in the car to accompany the passengers. Otherwise, no one dares to sit. The car will probably sell for about 700,000.
I was outside the expo and saw an emotional smart electric car. Although Huawei does not build cars, Huawei's artificial intelligence technology is arming cars. The staff told me that the car will sell for about 400,000.

Although there are only four exhibitors in the autonomous driving exhibition area, it occupies a relatively large area, basically outside the scorching sun. More conspicuous is the white artificial intelligence truck, which was brought by Beijing Main Line Technology Co., Ltd. The mainline technology staff told me that the artificial intelligence truck was driven from Shanghai.
I learned that Beijing Mainline Technology is specifically committed to the R&D and application of L4 artificial intelligence truck technology, aiming to create safer, smarter and more efficient scientific and technological transportation capacity, and create an industrial ecology through intelligent trucks, build a NATS networked artificial intelligence transportation system covering the whole country, promote the comprehensive intelligent and low-carbon transformation and upgrading of China's logistics network, achieve logistics transportation cost reduction and efficiency, and continue to develop with high quality.
Why do logistics also need AI trucks?
It turns out that there is currently a serious shortage of truck drivers in the mainland, with a gap of 10 million, young people are reluctant to enter the industry, and truck drivers under the age of 25 account for only 1.4%. Irregular driving by drivers and lack of truck safety equipment have led to frequent and high incidence of truck traffic accidents and high accident mortality. In addition, trucks have high energy consumption, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions are polluting, and low-carbon policies urge truck logistics to save energy and reduce emissions. Labor costs and fuel costs account for more than 50% of the total costs, and the income of logistics companies and drivers is declining.
The mission of Beijing Mainline Technology is to make logistics safer, smarter and more efficient, and strive to become the world's leading creator of intelligent transportation systems.
In fact, Beijing mainline technology in the field of intelligent transportation system, has made artificial intelligence technology shine -
In 2017, Mainline Technology was established; Announced the world's first driverless electric truck.
In 2018, it obtained the first road test license for intelligent networked vehicles for commercial vehicles in China; The world's first L4 driverless pure electric truck started trial operation in Tianjin Port.

Although I don't know much about artificial intelligence technology, feeling the fiery atmosphere inside can also boost confidence in development.
On the one hand, artificial intelligence replaces labor, and on the other hand, it is difficult to find a large number of artificial workers. This is the contradiction in the process of development. The scientific resolution of this contradiction means that science has developed.
