"Embark" on the production line, artificial intelligence for enterprises to innovate, improve quality and efficiency; "Entering" the circle of life, artificial intelligence adds color to residents' appearance and solves problems. The 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, held in Shanghai from July 6 to 8, revealed the leap of artificial intelligence from perception to cognition, from quantitative change to qualitative change, empowering thousands of industries and drawing a vivid picture.
Going to "sea, land, air and rail", AI makes production more efficient
There are many people queuing at the NetEase Fuxi unmanned loading robot booth, waiting to put on VR glasses to find out what "no artificial" is. This unmanned loading robot based on industrial large models has achieved a number of technological breakthroughs, such as autonomous positioning accuracy better than 5 cm, providing stable and safe support for automated operations; It can quickly adapt to different models, the full hopper rate of shoveling operation reaches more than 95%, the residual rate of unloading hopper is below 5%, and the scraping efficiency is close to "teacher".
"Unmanned loading robot has been applied to Shanghai-Tong railway intelligent concrete batching plant." Yang Xinwei, product manager of NetEase Fuxi Construction Machinery, said that in addition, since NetEase Fuxi excavation robots climbed the plateau at the end of last year to participate in the southwest key infrastructure railway project, they have now realized the automatic task of one master operating multiple excavators at the same time in the open-pit mine scene.
Focusing on the digital intelligence and green transformation of multiple scenarios such as sea, land, air and rail, artificial intelligence is showing the charm of China's scientific and technological innovation through new forces, new scenarios and new values.

As a "treasure of the town pavilion" in the exhibition hall of this conference, Xijing Technology's intelligent battery swapping driverless commercial vehicle "Q-Truck" has been commercialized in Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and other countries and regions. In June this year, the Port of Felixstowe, the largest port in the UK, added 100 "Q-Trucks", and will join hands with Nishii to build the largest "cabless" new energy driverless commercial fleet in the UK to date. In addition, Xijing Technology unveiled the new energy unmanned tractor "Q-Tractor" at the conference, which can be adapted to airports, factories, logistics centers and other scenarios to improve the efficiency of material operation between people, goods and yards.
Xu Xiaolan, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the opening ceremony that the mainland has expanded the application of artificial intelligence integration in depth, and more than 2,500 digital workshops and smart factories have been built, and after intelligent transformation, the research and development cycle has been shortened by about 20.7%, the production efficiency has increased by about 34.8%, the defective product rate has been reduced by about 27.4%, and carbon emissions have been reduced by about 21.2%.
In-depth medical food, housing and transportation, AI makes life better
At the conference, Fourier Intelligence, which is deeply engaged in the field of rehabilitation, released the latest research and development of a universal humanoid robot GR-1, with a height of 1.65 meters, a weight of 55 kg, a highly bionic trunk configuration, a walking speed of up to 5 km / h, and a load of 50 kg.
Gu Jie, the founder of the company, said that with the emergence of the "strongest brain" represented by ChatGPT, the evolution route of artificial intelligence is becoming clearer, and embodied intelligence is regarded as the next wave, that is, allowing the "brain" to have a "body" that can be dominated, perceived, interacted and acted. Once humanoid robots are generalized, just like the development trend from desktop computers to personal computers to smart phones, they will gradually become the mainstream of the industry in the future and will also meet greater market demand.
Embracing the tide of technology, traditional agriculture has also ushered in a "new outlet", which has become a highlight of the conference. In the exhibition hall, the smart agriculture digital system brought by CITIC Group helped to provide "a bowl of good rice" for the people's table. At the forum, Professor Gu Weinan, School of Electronic and Information Engineering, Tongji University, introduced a digital platform for agricultural products to provide accurate support for agricultural decision-making.
"The promotion of safe traceability of agricultural products will effectively reduce food safety problems, improve consumer trust, increase the competitiveness and added value of agricultural products, promote sustainable agricultural development, and usher in broader prospects." Gu Weinan said.

The new fourth-generation model of Meituan UAV can fly in moderate rain, moderate snow, level 6 wind, night and other conditions from minus 20 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius, and the delivery distance is increased by 35% compared with the previous generation; The fourth paradigm brings the "style theory" big model and its practice in retail, finance, medical and other industries, showing that artificial intelligence has become a "good helper" for different positions... In the 50,000-square-meter World Expo exhibition, whether it is Tesla's humanoid robot "Optimus Prime" or playing against SenseTime's chess robot "Yuan Radishes", the booth is crowded with children.
Explore the "future world", AI makes the ecology better
Compared with the previous five sessions, more than 30 large models were collectively unveiled at this year's conference, and many general and industry vertical models debuted, becoming the hottest field, and also made many exhibitors and visitors feel that the future world is more technological and promising.
Tang Daosheng, senior executive vice president of Tencent Group, believes that the general large model is generally trained based on extensive public literature and network information, and can solve 70% to 80% of the problems in 100 scenarios, but many professional knowledge and industry data accumulation are insufficient, and may not be able to meet 100% of the needs of enterprises in a certain scenario. With the development of big language models, high-quality artificial intelligence models and surging computing power are inseparable from partners from all parties, so that the "golden data" of each enterprise can be used efficiently to help industrial innovation and development.

The "2022 Global Artificial Intelligence Innovation Index Report" released during the conference shows that the development of Chinese intelligence has achieved remarkable results, and there has been progress in talent, education, patent output and other aspects.
"The in-depth application of artificial intelligence not only puts forward higher requirements for data, algorithms, and computing power, but also poses more challenges to security, privacy, and ethics." Wang Zhirong, vice president of Ant Group and chief scientist of artificial intelligence, said that in recent years, through continuous investment, we have laid out AI technology fields including knowledge graph, operations research optimization, graph learning, trusted AI, large models, etc. This exhibition brought a digital technology map with "AI+ root technology" as the core, and its trusted AI product "Ant Jian AI Security Detection Platform 2.0" was selected as the "treasure of the town hall" of this conference, hoping to help more applications land on a large scale while ensuring data security, content security, ethical safety, etc.
Xu Xiaolan said that artificial intelligence technology continues to make breakthroughs, the intelligent era is accelerating, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will strengthen policy guidance, form a joint force for development, and guide the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, large and small enterprises to collaborate, support the construction of open source communities, and build a competitive industrial ecology.
