There is a "cloud" in the Hangzhou Asian Games
On September 20th, Zhejiang Online reported that by entering keywords such as "Olympics", "intelligent technology", "ecological development", "prosperity", "sense of the future", and "landmark architecture" on the screen, the AI big model Tongyi Wanxiang Asian Games Special Edition can create a picture of the theme of the Asian Games family gathering. Iconic landscapes of various Asian Games countries such as the "Big Lotus" in Hangzhou, the Tokyo Tower, and the Taj Mahal in India can be seen on the screen. This is a technological moment experienced by the Chief Information Technology Officer of the International Olympic Committee, Alerio Kona, at the launch ceremony of the Cloud Asian Games on September 19th.
The Hangzhou Asian Games is the first ever cloud based Asian Games in history. It is based on Alibaba Cloud to achieve 100% cloud access to its core system, and for the first time, it has achieved cloud based broadcasting. The Hangzhou Asian Games Digital Technology Experience Center, which was launched on the same day, gathered a group of "cloud applications": through the art installation "Imagine the Future Asian Games", Tongyi Wanxiang can perform AI painting on site. On the screen of the experience center, a group of AI images of Asian Games themes generated by the participants are scrolling and playing; At the intelligent media editing station, AI can recognize the voice and text that appear during the live stream playback process in real time. Participating media can choose appropriate templates and quickly upload, process, and download news materials
The newly put into operation Hangzhou Asian Games Village is also the first "cloud based Asian Games Village" in history. It is reported that the Hangzhou Asian Games Village is composed of an athlete village, a technical official village, and a media village. It is the largest Asian Games village in history and is expected to accommodate 20000 athletes, as well as more than 10000 staff and volunteers during the Asian Games. To this end, the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee and the Hangzhou Asian Games Village have teamed up with Alibaba to build the "Asian Games Village Brain" and respond to the highest number of people and the largest scale of Asian Games Village operation challenges in the history of the Asian Games through digital operations.
"Villagers can open the 'Yunshang Tong' mini program on their mobile phones to make appointments for gyms and massage parlors, learn about the flow of people and dishes in the cafeteria that day, and even report equipment failures in the room with just one click. Alibaba solution architect Wang generously said that the 'Asian Games Village Brain' integrates more than 20 system data and about 440 data indicators, integrating real-time operational data from the six major fields of people, objects, fields, safety, services, and low-carbon in the village. Managers can use the cooperation of the intelligent command platform to grasp real-time data, support intelligent decision-making, and achieve efficient and intelligent scheduling of resources such as personnel, vehicles, and services in the village.".
At the same time, in the Asian Games Village, "villagers" can also accumulate carbon credits through green low-carbon behaviors such as Clean Your Plate Campaign, green travel, plastic shopping and so on, in exchange for gifts such as low-carbon Olympic mascots. It is reported that the "Asian Games Village Low Carbon Account" is a green interactive product designed for the "villagers" of the Asian Games Village, and is also the first low-carbon account in the history of the Asian Games. It aims to enrich the "villagers" 'lives in the village through fun interactions and low threshold participation, making the green Asian Games more visible, tangible, and participatory.
"The Hangzhou Asian Games created history with cloud computing," said Elario Kona. From the cloud based broadcasting of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to the cloud based core system of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, digital technology has significant implications for large-scale event hosting. The Hangzhou Asian Games is also creating new history through cloud technology, bringing more room for imagination to enhance the event experience. "I believe that the Hangzhou Asian Games will ride the wings of technology to achieve complete success," he said.
