The first national pilot zone for innovative application of artificial intelligence is gradually building an AI industry ecosystem, and unmanned ships have arrived at the conference | Artificial Intelligence | Pilot Zone
In the past two years, new landmarks have emerged along the Zhangjiang Smart River: Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island, Zhangjiang Science Hall, Zhangjiang "Science Gate"... In the past, people could only appreciate these architectural spaces from the shore, but during this year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the unmanned ship project jointly launched by Zhangjiang AI and Haiyang Science and Technology Innovation Center will officially land and apply in the Smart River. It can guide citizens to enjoy the innovative scenery of Zhangjiang Science and Technology according to the preset tour route without driving.
Recently, the reporter visited the Pudong branch of this year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference in advance, not only experiencing and experiencing a batch of creative and technological new achievements in AI applications such as unmanned ships, 3D navigation, and AI art creation on site, but also further understanding that Pudong, as the first pilot area for AI innovation applications in the country, has introduced many heavyweight achievements to sign contracts and land on the platform of the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference, built a series of industrial development physical spaces, and gradually created an ecological environment suitable for the development of the AI industry.
New technologies, new scenarios
On an intelligent terminal similar to a tablet computer, passengers can simply press the corresponding button and the ship can set sail with one click, achieving automatic navigation, autonomous obstacle avoidance, and automatic berthing and disembarking. Passengers can also control the ship through the boat console and experience driving pleasure.
This is the new "Artificial Intelligence+Water Transportation" water transportation scene launched by Pudong during this year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference. Zhao Hui, Executive Deputy Director of the AI+Marine Science and Technology Innovation Center, introduced that unmanned ships can now achieve L4-L5 level surface autonomous driving. "This makes sailing as convenient as driving, and you only need to input the destination to automatically plan the route."

The application is supported by the installation of shaftless thrusters, new energy power, and the core autonomous decision-making control system inside the ship. This system integrates advanced equipment such as centimeter level combined positioning system of Beidou satellite positioning and 4G positioning technology, laser radar, and cross domain technologies such as multi-source perception fusion and artificial intelligence recognition, and can accurately control the turning, turning, acceleration and deceleration of the ship's body.
It is understood that in order to achieve the application of unmanned ships, Pudong has also opened the city's first artificial intelligence water area application scenario experimental zone. During the conference, the testing area will launch technology demonstrations such as water cleaning and greedy boats, water rescue robots, and underwater forest exploration robots. One of the smart lifebuoys that has been put into commercial use can swim towards drowning victims as soon as they hear a call for help, greatly increasing the success rate of rescue efforts.
Strong communication and re presentation
At this conference, the Pudong branch venue specially arranged a core forum with the metaverse as the main axis and highlighting the achievements of artificial intelligence applications, two themed forums "AI+metaverse" and "AI developers", as well as more than 20 industry and enterprise ecological forums. Many AI industry experts will also bring new achievements to live exhibitions and performances.
Li Chengtao, CEO of Star Pharmaceutical Technology, told reporters that in recent years, the company has delved into the application examples of artificial intelligence, scientific modeling, and big data in various innovative drugs and research and development stages, exploring the most cutting-edge technologies and practical implementation scenarios in the global AI pharmaceutical field. During the conference, the company will also bring a forum titled "Exploring New Generation Technology Tools and Expanding the Boundary of Drug Discovery" to engage in technical exchanges within and outside the industry.

The Liangfeng Platform vividly showcases the AR intelligent terminals developed by enterprises in the exhibition hall on the first floor of the Pudong branch venue. Don't underestimate this helmet like device. Over the years, it has been working hand in hand with the "national treasure", "going to heaven", "going to earth", "going to sea", and "refining". It has been present in various scenarios such as airworthiness certification for the first domestically produced large aircraft, inspection of super large coal mines, remote inspection of large cruise ships, and equipment operation and maintenance for the world's largest steel enterprise. Through the integration of data and reality, Liangfengtai has promoted industrial transformation, helped improve the quality, efficiency, and cost of physical industries, and contributed to the high-quality development of Shanghai's real economy.
Diejing Digital is an old friend of previous World Artificial Intelligence conferences, and enterprises have gained many opportunities to showcase themselves and exchange ideas with the industry through annual conferences. This year, Diejing Digital has created an interactive 3D navigation system. Users can quickly view the actual 3D scene of their destination by entering navigation requests through voice, text, and other methods. Moreover, the signal covers indoor spaces that traditional navigation cannot reach, making it easy to navigate through fashionable shopping malls and complex underground garages.
Large layout, creating ecology
During this conference, Pudong will introduce international organizations and establish the "IJCAI-SAIA China Office"; Form strategic cooperation with the Open Atom Open Source Foundation and establish an international cooperation headquarters. In addition, the "unveiling and commanding" event for major application scenarios of the metaverse in 2023 will also be launched at the Pudong Forum, continuously cultivating digital scenes and creating an innovative ecological atmosphere.
Xia Yuzhong, Deputy Director of the Science and Technology Commission of Pudong New Area, revealed that through years of development, Pudong has now provided strong and easy-to-use underlying support for large computing power and strong algorithms, especially the launch of the "1+1+N" talent policy system and the Pearl Plan, providing the possibility for the artificial intelligence industry to gather global talents. At the same time, Pudong has also formed characteristic industrial cluster parks such as Zhangjiang Robot Valley and Zhangjiang Data Chain, as well as an artificial intelligence industry spatial layout of "one core, three parks, and two ports".

Among them, "One Core" refers to the data element industry core area built around the Shanghai Data Exchange, and "Three Parks" are Pudong Software Park, Lujiazui Smart World, and Zhangjiang Online New Economy Ecological Park. The two ports are Shanghai Financial Data Port and Pudong Digital Commerce Cloud Port. During last year's conference, Lujiazui Group announced the plan for Shuzhitiandi. After a year of construction and development, on the eve of this year's conference, Hu Jingyan, the General Manager of the Investment Center of Lujiazui Industrial Park, revealed that it is expected that in the second half of this year, the Smart Valley and Smart Source sub parks will be delivered one after another, and multiple artificial intelligence related enterprises will be introduced simultaneously.
In addition, an artificial intelligence research and development platform focusing on algorithm research in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing, and large-scale model applications will also be completed in the digital world. "We will also build an incubation acceleration center based on this, striving to build high-quality incubators and open innovation centers for large enterprises through the joint efforts of enterprises and state-owned assets in the artificial intelligence industry chain, and support the development of the artificial intelligence industry," said Hu Jingyan.
