The lights on the banks of the Pudong River are only a touch of afterglow to witness the "technological momentum" of the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (hereinafter referred to as: WAIC 2023).
WAIC 2023, with the theme of "Intelligent Connected World, Generating the Future", came to an end at the Shanghai World Expo Center with the results of "four new".
Closing ceremony of the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.
New AI changes the existing business landscape, and new AI creates new business opportunities. How do global business leaders view the new wave of AI, how do they respond to it, and how can they leverage it to achieve greater business results? At the closing ceremony, experts such as Lisa Su, academician of the National Academy of Engineering, chairman and CEO of AMD, Reid Hoffman, partner of Greylock, founding investor of OpenAI and co-founder of Inflection AI, elaborated their "wisdom" on new AI and new business, and expressed their enthusiasm for the future of intelligence.
At the closing ceremony, Zhang Ying, Deputy Director of Shanghai Economic and Information Commission, introduced the key points of Shanghai's upcoming large-model innovation and development policies, which will focus on building "3 plans + 5 platforms" around the four major directions of "innovation ability, innovation elements, innovative application, and innovation environment".
It is worth noting that Shi Weidong, deputy secretary of the party group and full-time vice president of the Shanghai Law Society, Zhong Junhao, secretary-general of the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Industry Association and secretary-general of the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Standardization Technical Committee, Yang Fan, co-founder of SenseTime and president of SenseTime's large device business group, Qiu Xipeng, professor of the School of Computer Science and Technology of Fudan University and head of MOSS system, and Chen Yunwen, chairman of Daguan Data, jointly launched the "Model" Initiative, focusing on the new kinetic energy of artificial intelligence represented by large models. Provide assistance for high-quality development.
Qiu Xipeng, professor of the School of Computer Science and Technology of Fudan University and head of the MOSS system, said on the 7th that after the release of the first conversational large-scale language model MOSS in February this year, it is still iterating continuously, "The latest MOSS has been able to surpass ChatGPT in Chinese capacity." ”

According to Qiu Xipeng, MOSS can currently help users by using tools. For example, MOSS itself cannot paint, but it can call the plug-in of text to generate images to achieve the effect. For arithmetic operations, MOSS can also call calculators and equations to complete complex mathematical problems. If MOSS is asked for real-time information that is not available in the original knowledge base, MOSS can call the search engine and further answer based on the results of the feedback, such as crawling news every day and aggregating news links and content for users.
In addition, the cover news reporter noticed at the closing ceremony that a number of new artificial intelligence projects were signed on the spot, covering different fields such as computing power, data, large models, hardware, and software, showing Shanghai's continuous breakthrough in innovation sources, new industrial momentum that continues to condense, new benchmarks for applications that are constantly refreshed, and a new open ecology that is constantly optimized.
The "Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund Metaverse Intelligent Terminal Sub-Fund and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Open Source Ecological Industry Cluster" was officially launched and established, continuously optimizing the Shanghai artificial intelligence industry ecology and helping to accelerate the construction of artificial intelligence "Shanghai Highland".
Who wouldn't be interested in AI?
On the afternoon of July 7, the temperature in Shanghai reached 36 degrees Celsius, and outside the exhibition hall, Wang Zipeng lined up outside the exhibition hall with the "professional visitor" participation certificate applied for earlier, his back already soaked with sweat.
"I studied development, and since my junior year, I have been clocking in the fourth year of WAIC." Wang Zipeng told the cover news reporter that my mentor will also come to participate in this WAIC, and I also want to go to his venue to cheer him on.

When asked how WAIC 2023 is different from before, Wang Zipeng said that in fact, WAIC can bring him a lot of inspiration and freshness every year, but this year because many large models have been released, it will be more instructive for him personally.
"I may have been interested in robotics before, but this year I'm more interested in the big models and their open source."
"My biggest feeling is that the world is changing so fast that if I don't learn, I'll fall behind." On July 8, Ms. Zhou, who brought her 6th grade daughter to participate in the unmanned car competition at the WAIC 2023 Zhangjiang branch venue, bluntly said that who would not be interested in artificial intelligence now.
Ms. Zhou took her children to visit the programming booth.
"Although I brought my daughter to the competition, my son came to the exhibition, and the books I bought were also for the child to see, but I will definitely read it again and learn before she reads it." Ms. Zhou pointed to nearly ten books in her hand and told the cover news reporter, and these books are all in the field of artificial intelligence. "My son is also interested in artificial intelligence, and he told me to see the robot exhibition before."
People who see the future are full of hope, and the vigorous development of artificial intelligence undoubtedly makes all those who are interested in it full of vitality. "The 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference has a total of more than 1,400 guests attended, with an exhibition area of more than 50,000 square meters, and a total of 133 forums have been held. As of 3 p.m. on the 8th, the number of offline visitors exceeded 177,000, and the traffic of the whole network exceeded 1.07 billion. WAIC conference staff told Cover News.
The end point is also the starting point, a new journey of AI has begun, together towards a new future, are you ready?
