On July 26th, Hefei Station, the fifth stop of the "Better Life, Scholarly China" city tour, was successfully held at the Global Roadshow Center of Hefei Zhong'an Chuanggu Science and Technology Park. The event held a theme salon and reading sharing session with the theme of "Scientific and Technological Revolution and New Quality Productivity", aiming to further promote national reading, and actively serve the common vision of scholarly China and building a better life by promoting the construction of scholarly enterprises and scholarly cities.
Ye Qiang, Chair Professor of USTC, Executive Dean of the School of Management, Executive Dean of the School of Science and Technology, and Dean of the Institute of International Finance, Ma Bin, Executive Vice President of the China Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, Zhang Yu, Executive Vice Chairman of the National Leading Readers Alliance of the President's Reading Club and General Consultant of the "President's Reading Club" column, and Liu Bin, Director of the Anhui Sales Department of the Jiangsu-Shanghai-Anhui Sales Region of the Jinsha Wine Marketing Center, delivered speeches at the reading meeting, fully affirming the value and significance of this event. Books are the crystallization of human wisdom and the carrier of cultural inheritance. It is hoped that this activity can stimulate more people's enthusiasm for reading, guide more enterprises to embark on the road of reading, and inject new vitality into the high-quality development of enterprises.
"President's Reading Club" is the highlight of the "Better Life, Scholarly China" city tour. Focusing on the theme of this event, Wu Lebin, former chairman of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Holdings Co., Ltd. and chairman of the National Science and Technology Venture Capital, Tang Shibiao, director of the Anhui Quantum Information Engineering Technology Research Center, doctor of China University of Science and Technology, and vice president of the University of Science and Technology Shield Quantum, and Hu Yu, co-founder of iFLYTEK, combined with their own long-term corporate practice and in-depth thinking, respectively made an in-depth and precise interpretation of "The Origin of the Scientific and Technological Revolution", "A Brief Introduction to Quantum Information" and "Computing Machines and Intelligence". As the publisher of "The Origin of the Scientific and Technological Revolution", Qiao Weibing, President of China Translation Publishing House, also introduced and shared "The Origin of the Scientific and Technological Revolution" and related books with the title of "Redefining Science and Technological Innovation with Scientific Research".
The history of the development of modern human society is a history of continuous scientific and technological revolution. Today, with the accelerated emergence of science and technology and the increasingly intensified international competition, scientific and technological innovation is not only the primary productive force, but also a national strategic force and the commanding heights of competition between various regions and enterprises. So what is the origin of the scientific and technological revolution, this is an important question, and the book "The Origin of Scientific and Technological Innovation" gives a good answer to this. In the reading, Wu Lebin focused on the four symbiotic relationships of technology and science, questions and answers, the accident and consolidation of knowledge evolution, and research and openness, and put forward his own unique insights and thoughts on the ecology of science and technology, the driving force of the scientific and technological revolution, the application of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation, science and technology and capital. Among them, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements has always been called the "valley of death" by the industry. From a patent or laboratory result to mass production, there is a very high mortality rate in between. To this end, Wu Lebin believes that in order to break through the layers of barriers between knowledge and capital, it is necessary to build a canal from the ocean of Zhiben (PI and IP) to the ocean of capital (IPO) and build a "canal ecosystem".
As an interdisciplinary discipline of quantum mechanics and information science, quantum information is one of the hot areas of international research, and has received extensive public attention in recent years. Hefei, Anhui Province, where this event was held, has also developed into a world-renowned "quantum center". How to truly build this quantum center requires not only our scientific research and industrial achievements, but also the corresponding scientific popularization. To this end, as a professional who has been engaged in quantum communication for a long time, Tang Shibiao recommended this easy-to-understand popular science book on quantum information - "A Brief Introduction to Quantum Information". He believes that this is not only a quantum science book that has the confidence to do "for everyone", but also a very objective and fair quantum science book, and it is also a quantum science book with very positive energy and certain national characteristics. The book also provides clear answers to the public's common misunderstandings or doubts about quantum information, helping the public to jump out of the trap of "pseudoscience" and bottomless commercial propaganda.
Artificial intelligence is an important driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and has played an important role in improving the way of life of human beings. As a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence, Hu Yu leads us through time and space to return to the enlightenment era of artificial intelligence. When he read Turing's classic work "Computing Machines and Intelligence", he started from the evolution and future of the mainstream school of artificial intelligence, and gave a specific and in-depth explanation of the classification of artificial intelligence. However, when we know about artificial intelligence, how can we use it to deeply connect and apply it to our business world? In this regard, Hu Yu believes that the progress of artificial intelligence has an important impact on the paradigm shift of the human business ecosystem. But how big a company can be, the more important thing is not hard work, but choice. Especially for tech start-ups, their size and market value depend on their location in the business ecosystem. The success of a technology start-up depends on whether it finds the right time.
In the subsequent roundtable forum, Wu Lebin, Hu Yu, Tang Shibiao, Zhang Jie, chair professor of the School of Science and Technology Business of China University of Science and Technology and academician of the United States National Academy of Engineering, Yuan Lanfeng, associate researcher and deputy director of the Department of Science and Technology Communication of Hefei National Research Center for Microscale Physical Science, University of Science and Technology of China, and other guests, discussed how to understand the scientific and technological revolution and new quality productivity, what role science popularization work plays in promoting science and technology, public communication and promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and the application scenarios and cases of iFLYTEK innovation in the field of artificial intelligence. There were in-depth exchanges and heated discussions on topics such as how technology empowers the industry and how industrial demand promotes scientific and technological innovation, providing a unique perspective and keen insight for further learning and practice. The host Chen Xiaoyu's knowledge and professional hosting also added a lot of style to this event.
In the theme salon session, Zhang Jie gave a vivid and profound speech on the topic of "The Quiet World". He said that the world is actually vigorous in nature, but we hear less and less, and a quiet world is the situation we are facing now. In fact, there are two types of human perception: visual and auditory, and intelligent perception should also include intelligent vision and intelligent hearing. However, the previous artificial intelligence only had "eyes" and voice conversations, but did not have "ears" that could hear the environment, and the perception system was not perfect. Non-voice intelligent hearing is also a topic that has only been realized in the past two years, and new companies have emerged in United States, Switzerland, and Korea, trying to make breakthroughs in a short period of time. Zhang Jie believes that in such an intelligent era, non-voice intelligent hearing is an invisible front, which is currently becoming a new industrialization track, which can be applied to multiple trillion markets in China, and its application scenarios have spread all over the fields of transportation, security, and new energy, and the future can be expected.
As the title sponsor of this event, the Abstract Liquor brand gave strong support to the "Better Life, Scholarly China" city tour. Liu Bin said in his speech that we use "Abstract Wine" as the medium, and believe that the elites from all walks of life attending the meeting will be able to burst out more sparks of ideas in the exchanges, and provide new ideas and new directions for enterprises.
The event was named by "Abstract Wine", sponsored by the President's Reading Club, China Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, and the Science and Technology Business School of the University of Science and Technology of China, co-sponsored by the Chinese Translation Publishing House, and co-organized by Zhong'an Chuanggu, Huishang Media, Huishang Magazine, Anhui Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs Federation, Hefei Baida Group, and Hefei Professional Managers Association, and sponsored in kind by Kunlun Mountain Mineral Water and Anhui Zuoneng Real Estate Co., Ltd.
