The theme of this conference is "Intelligent World Generating the Future", to discuss and discuss the trends, laws, opportunities, and challenges of artificial intelligence development, and work together to create a better intelligent world. Chen Jining, Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech, presided over by Gong Zheng, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor.
Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xu Xiaolan and Chairman of the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Christian Bessie delivered speeches at the opening ceremony.
The artificial intelligence industry and talents in Shanghai have begun to take shape, and innovation and application are becoming more active. A cross-border and open ecosystem is gradually forming.
Chen Jining said that looking at the world, human society has entered an era of innovation intensive and active big science. Artificial intelligence, represented by large models, is advancing rapidly and accelerating the evolution of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. On the new journey, Shanghai needs to strive for high-quality development, create high-quality living, and achieve efficient governance. More than ever before, it needs to leverage the "head goose effect" of artificial intelligence to empower various industries and the "multiplier effect" to drive development. We will make greater efforts to promote the healthy development of artificial intelligence and strive to build a more internationally influential artificial intelligence "Shanghai Highland". Adhere to the combination of long-term and agility, establish a long-term vision, maintain strategic determination, focus on laying the foundation and promoting long-term strategic tasks, continuously improve the agility of action, establish a decision-making mechanism that adapts to technological and industrial changes, and timely optimize the key focus and development direction. We will adhere to the unity of breakthroughs in key technologies and building an open ecosystem, mobilize the efforts of the whole city, gather resources from all parties, increase support, encourage various forms of algorithm innovation, chip research and development, computing power improvement, and corpus construction. Through more effective policy guidance, we will open up more application scenarios, promote collaborative interaction among innovation entities, strengthen the cultivation of enterprise innovation ecology, and create competitive industrial clusters. Adhere to better coordinated development and governance, openness and security, uphold the concept of technology for good, promote the improvement of the artificial intelligence standard system, safety guidelines, and ethical norms, and make artificial intelligence better benefit humanity.
Xu Xiaolan stated that the new generation of artificial intelligence represented by deep learning and the general artificial intelligence represented by large models are continuously achieving technological breakthroughs, which will become the root technology of the intelligent industry and the infrastructure of the intelligent economy. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy, promoting China's artificial intelligence industry to seize new opportunities, respond to new challenges, and achieve new results. Shanghai is a highland for the innovative development of China's artificial intelligence industry. We hope that all parties can use the World Artificial Intelligence Conference as a platform to jointly promote the healthy development of artificial intelligence and jointly open a new chapter in the development of the intelligence industry.
