At the opening ceremony of the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference, 10 major scientific and technological achievements were unveiled. Including the "Zhongguancun World-Leading Science and Technology Park Construction Plan (2024-2027)", the world's first general artificial intelligence system prototype, the world's thinnest known optical crystal, the world's first all-analog optoelectronic intelligent computing chip, etc.
"New quality productivity" was mentioned for the first time in this year's government work report and listed as the top priority, and artificial intelligence is considered to be the main position for the development of new quality productivity. Kai-Fu Lee, Chairman and CEO of Sinovation Works, said in his speech at the forum that as a new platform after the mobile Internet, the artificial intelligence model is gradually entering people's lives, and will better help improve smart life and productivity in the future.
Kai-Fu Lee said that a large model is actually a set of algorithms, and when we continue to put more computing power and throw the world's data into it, a very smart algorithm can make deep predictions, which can produce real understanding, real reasoning, and the generation of very new ideas and wisdom. In the beginning, the level of these large models was about the level of an ordinary person, that is, 34 out of 100 questions could be answered correctly, but after only two years of progress, the best large models can already answer nearly 90% of the questions correctly. Today's large models display more wisdom than any individual genius.

As an enterprise going out from Zhongguancun, Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, believes that intelligence is the soul of automobiles, and it is also the confidence of Xiaomi to dare to enter the automotive industry. In March this year, Xiaomi invested more than 5 billion yuan in an automobile factory in Beijing. More than 700 robots are used in this plant, and all key processes are 100% automated.
"Smart factory has a very big driving force for the entire Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integrated industrial ecology, an automobile factory can drive at least 5~6 times the surrounding industries, thanks to the foundation laid by Beijing's automobile industry in the past, we have effectively shared a lot of supply chain resources. Lei Jun promised to guarantee the delivery of 100,000 Xiaomi cars this year. "As an old Zhongguancun person, the spirit of Zhongguancun deserves to be passed on from generation to generation and carried forward. I believe that Zhongguancun will definitely become the Zhongguancun of the world. ”

Focusing on the frontiers of science and technology and hot topics, this year's Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference will hold 60 parallel forums. At the Engineering Science and Technology Innovation Forum, Tan Tianwei, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, talked about green development, he pointed out that more than half of the current energy structure in the mainland is still coal, natural gas and other fossil energy, and the future should continue to increase the proportion of renewable energy such as photovoltaic, wind energy, geothermal energy.
Tan Tianwei said that with the advancement of technology and the gradual improvement of people's green concept, coupled with the guidance of national policies, such as carbon taxes, government restrictions on extensive industries, and global measures to combat climate change, "the development of renewable energy in the mainland has ushered in a golden age." At present, the proportion of renewable energy plus clean energy is less than 20%, and by 2060, when we truly achieve carbon neutrality, renewable energy will account for about 80%, which is quite high. ”
