In the long river of scientific and technological development, we are standing at a special historical intersection.
On the one hand, the remarkable technological achievements are iterating at an unprecedented density, from GPT-4 to Sora, to Claude 3, as well as the Figure 01 robot, known as the "ChatGPT entity", Meta's most powerful open-source large model Llama 3, etc., AIGC technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, large models continue to be upgraded, embodied intelligence is beginning to take shape, and the integration of human and machine intelligence is accelerating in all walks of life.
On the other hand, we are also facing many unprecedented challenges, such as the bifurcation and controversy of technological paradigms, the shortage of computing power and electricity, the questioning of the unclear "money scene" of AI, and complex issues such as copyright, privacy, true and false information, and ethics, which are testing our wisdom and determination.
At the same time, we have also noticed that in the wave of rapid development of AI, many technology companies are actively engaged in innovative research in algorithms, model architecture, data processing, etc., which not only promote the in-depth application of AI in the fields of healthcare, finance, transportation, education, entertainment, etc., but also provide the possibility for AI to enter a broader market.
The "Jiazi Lightyear" think tank proposes that we are about to enter the era of AI creation. This is a new historical stage, in which the transformation of productivity and the change of production relations occur at the same time, and AI technology penetrates from the digital world to the physical world, gradually approaching and surpassing the boundaries of human production activities. From AI for science to manufacturing, from humanoid robots to world models, AI will gradually break through the creation category of human beings as the main language, and form a "second intelligence system" in addition to human intelligence. This means that AI will no longer be just a tool or assistant for humans, but will become an important force alongside humans.
In the era of AI creation, we pay attention to how the technological paradigm converges, how the technological leap forward reshapes thousands of industries, and more importantly, the far-reaching impact of every decision on the future socio-economic structure.
On May 15, 2024, the "AI Creation Era - 2024 Jiazi Gravity X Technology Industry New Trend" conference, hosted by Beijing Jiazi Light-Year Technology Service Co., Ltd. and co-organized by Zhongguancun Dongsheng Science City, will be held in Beijing. At that time, we will bring together experts, scholars, business leaders and industry elites from all over the world to discuss the development trend of AI technology and the opportunities and challenges of AI application. We look forward to working with you to find the infinite possibilities of the era of AI creation and jointly write the prelude to the AI civilization.
In this conference, "Jiazi Lightyear" and the conference guests will discuss the following topics:
- 【Summit Dialogue】A new paradigm and a new inflection point of Chinese artificial intelligence
- 【Technology Paradigm】The Transformation of AI Technology Paradigm: What is the End of Scaling Law?
- 【Infrastructure】AI creates everything, who will feed AI?
- 【Application and Commercialization】The "Money Scene" of AI: How to Form a Business Closed Loop?
- 【Debate on the Future】Towards the Era of AI Creation: Two Sides of the Coin
