ON APRIL 9, 2024, AT THE WEB3 CARNIVAL IN HONG KONG, THE AGI OPEN SOURCE ALLIANCE (https://aosa.io) WAS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE IN THE GLOBAL FIELD OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. AOSA, co-sponsored by Hashkey Group and WSDN, aims to promote the application and development of open source ideas in the field of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and build a win-win ecosystem.
The launch ceremony of the AGI Open Source Alliance was attended by guests including Deng Chao, CEO of HashKey Capital, Zheng Songyan, CEO of Hong Kong Cyberport, Duncan Chiu, Member of the Legislative Council (Technology and Innovation) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Wu Kitzhuang, Member of the Legislative Council (Election Committee) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Guo Yike, Provost and Vice President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Jiang Tao, Founder and President of CSDN Group, Liu Jia, General Manager of HashKey Tokenisation, Member of the Legislative Council (Election Committee) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mr Shang Hailong, and Mr. Lu Jian, Chief Executive Officer of WSDN.
Knowledge sharing, collaboration and innovation
AOSA was founded in response to the growing global demand for AGI technology and the desire for open innovation. The alliance will leverage the regulatory framework provided by HKEX and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to introduce Web3 incentives for the global open source industry, provide financial support for AGI entrepreneurs, and promote the healthy development of AGI technology.
AOSA's vision is to provide an open environment to facilitate the development of AGI through an open-source culture that encourages knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation. At the inauguration ceremony, Jiang Tao, founder of CSDN Group, delivered a speech on "The Evolution of AGI Application Chain from Technical Facilities to Application Layer", in which Jiang Tao described the process of the birth of the AGI era in detail, and proposed that the emergence of AGI has brought a change from the computing paradigm, development paradigm, to the interactive paradigm for software.
"In the past, developers developed through the technology stack, but in the future, developers will use natural language interaction to guide AI development," Jiang said. ”
Behind the transformation of the AGI application layer is the demand for computing power. And this is the original intention of the official establishment of AOSA.
The evolution of AGI from the technical infrastructure to the application layer
AOSA's mission is to continue to promote the development of open source and open AGI technologies, building a collaborative and mutually beneficial ecosystem. The goal of the alliance is to strengthen communication and cooperation in the field of AGI, and ultimately promote the healthy development of general AI technology and talents by sharing the latest technologies and achievements, discussing future development trends.
The establishment of AOSA also marks the evolution of AGI technology from infrastructure to application layer. As AGI technology continues to mature, its application in various industries is promising. AOSA will support research related to AGI technology, develop industry standards, organize technology summits and forums, support the education of startups and outstanding young talents, establish an ecosystem of "industry, academia, research and application" of open source AGI technology in the digital economy, and participate in international and domestic exchanges and cooperation.
Subsequently, Jiang Tao, founder of CSDN Group, emphasized that WEB3, as a representative of the next generation of the Internet, emphasizes decentralization, openness and user sovereignty. UNDER THIS CONCEPT, AGI OPEN NETWORK CAME AT THE RIGHT TIME TO PROVIDE AN EFFICIENT AND LOW-COST COMPUTING SOLUTION FOR VARIOUS APPLICATIONS IN THE WEB3 ECOSYSTEM BY INTEGRATING IDLE COMPUTING RESOURCES AROUND THE WORLD. At the heart of this network is its ability to transform otherwise underutilized computing power into valuable services to support broader AGI application development and deployment.
Its AGI Open Network can provide stable and scalable back-end support for these DApps through its distributed computing power API network, allowing developers to focus on application innovation and optimization without worrying about the constraints of the underlying computing power.
SECOND, AGI OPEN NETWORK OPENS UP NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR SMART CONTRACTS AND BLOCKCHAIN SERVICES IN WEB3. Both the execution of smart contracts and the maintenance of blockchain networks require a lot of computing resources. With the AGI Open Network, these resources can be allocated and utilized more efficiently, improving the performance and reliability of the entire network.
In summary, AOSA will also promote the development of AGI Open Network, a distributed computing power solution designed to make full use of scattered idle computing resources, such as mining machines, game consoles, and idle computing power in campus institutions. By launching the Distributed Computing API Network, the Alliance hopes to make resource consumption valuable, reduce the cost of AI computing power, simplify AI application development, and bring more innovation.
The official establishment of the AGI Open Source Alliance in Hong Kong marks that the implementation of the AI ecosystem in Hong Kong is about to enter a new era, and with the joint efforts of the alliance members, the application of AGI technology will be more extensive and the speed of innovation will be accelerated.
