On June 26, the "Nishan Dialogue on Digital Civilization at the World Internet Conference" attracted three heavyweights, Baidu founder, chairman and CEO Robin Li, Alibaba Group chairman and CEO, and Alibaba Cloud Intelligent Group director Chairman and CEO Zhang Yong and Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Group, discussed the most popular artificial intelligence large-scale model technology.

Li Yanhong: Large-scale model technology will restructure the global digital industry

Robin Li, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, said that in the past year, artificial intelligence has advanced at an iterative speed of "weeks" at all levels of technology, products, and applications. The next frontier of the development of large models is not only to imitate human beings, but also to help human beings to research and discover unknown areas, breaking through the limits that human beings have not broken through in the past.

Li Yanhong believes that in the era of artificial intelligence, the IT technology stack has undergone structural changes, which means that artificial intelligence, especially large-scale model technology, will restructure the global digital industry. The large model has become the operating system in the era of artificial intelligence, and all applications will be developed based on the large model.

Li Yanhong said that Baidu has been investing in artificial intelligence for more than 10 years. Today, the Wenxin large model developed by Baidu has been iterated to version 3.5. Compared with version 3.0 in March, the training speed has increased by 2 times, the inference speed has increased by 17 times, and the cumulative effect of the model has increased by more than 50%.

"Our country's artificial intelligence large-scale model has a certain foundation, and we need to catch up. At the same time, we should give full play to the advantages of application scenarios, further develop vertical fields, and create professional large-scale models in the fields of finance, medical care, and electric power. High-quality applications and data feedback Realize technical optimization, help the iterative upgrade of large models, and build a good AI ecosystem." Robin Li finally said that large models will penetrate into more and more fields, and the digital economy driven by large models will be deeply integrated with the real economy. Make the real economy stronger, better, and bigger, create considerable incremental value, and bring about profound changes in economic and social development and industries.

Zhang Yong: Artificial intelligence technology should be available, reliable, and credible

Zhang Yong, chairman and CEO of Alibaba Group and chairman and CEO of Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group, said that the development of artificial intelligence technology in China has three advantages: solid foundation, rich scenarios, and digital-real integration. The high attention from all walks of life and the development and growth of the innovation ecology are constantly consolidating and strengthening these advantages. At the same time, "building a safe and reliable artificial intelligence" has gradually become an industry consensus.

"There are many uncertainties in innovation. Some of them can be predicted in advance and prevent problems before they happen; some problems arise during development and need to be solved while developing." Zhang Yong believes that "responsible artificial "Smart technology" should have three principles, namely usable, reliable and credible. Artificial intelligence technology should enhance the well-being of human civilization and solve real problems; it should have advanced and stable technology; it should focus on privacy protection and data security, and demonstrate inclusiveness, mutual trust and respect.

"We hope that based on cloud computing, computing power will be more inclusive, and AI will be more popular. General artificial intelligence will be able to open up data interruption nodes with lower threshold and higher efficiency, and promote data in enterprise research and development, production, distribution, and service. The smooth flow of all elements, such as the smooth flow of all elements, makes the integration of data and reality more in-depth." Zhang Yong said that the "Tongyi Qianwen" large model opened by Alibaba Cloud in April covers almost all emerging and traditional industries, and the "Thousands of Questions" launched by Alibaba Cloud The "Ask Partner Program" has also covered oil and gas, electric power, transportation, finance, hotel travel, enterprise services, communications and other industries. In the future, more enterprise-specific models will be created to promote faster and better sharing of intelligent dividends in all walks of life.

Zhou Hongyi: The large model is an industrial revolution-level productivity tool

Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360 Group, believes that digitalization has now become China's national strategy, among which industrial digitalization is an important development opportunity, and the ultimate goal of industrial digitalization is intelligence, and the GPT large model will become an important enabler of industrial digitalization. The large model is not an entertainment tool, but an industrial revolution-level productivity tool.

Zhou Hongyi said that the public large-scale model has the following four shortcomings: first, the public large-scale model lacks industry depth; second, the public large-scale model is likely to cause internal data leakage; Credible; Fourth, the cost of the public large model cannot be controlled. He believes that many companies only need tens of billions of large vertical models to meet their needs. If they use hundreds of billions of large models, it will be a waste of cost.

The development of artificial intelligence must be "people-oriented". The large-scale model cannot cause large-scale layoffs, but to help employees improve their capabilities and efficiency, and become an easy-to-use tool that every ordinary employee can really use. Therefore, Zhou Hongyi believes that digital employees will become a very important concept for enterprises in the future.

Zhou Hongyi finally said that the industrial revolution of artificial intelligence large-scale models has arrived, and large-scale models will be fully applied in various cities, industries, and enterprises in the future, and market opportunities have just begun. 360 will give full play to the experience and advantages accumulated in the field of artificial intelligence in the past to help various places build "safe, reliable, controllable and easy-to-use" large models, and contribute to the industrial digital transformation to intelligent upgrade.
