Artificial intelligence is a strategic technology that leads a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and has a strong "head goose" effect. What are the new trends in the development of artificial intelligence technology, and how to better use artificial intelligence tools? At the recently held theme meeting of the 2024 World Science, Technology and Development Forum, participating academicians and experts held discussions.
At the meeting, Qiao Hong, chairman of the World Robot Cooperation Organization and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced the ten cutting-edge technology trends of artificial intelligence. In terms of common artificial intelligence technologies, they include small data and high-quality data, human-machine alignment, artificial intelligence usage boundaries and ethical supervision models, and interpretability models; in terms of large-scale pre-training models, they include scale laws, full-modal large models, artificial intelligence Intelligence-driven scientific research; embodied intelligence, including embodied cerebellum models and entity artificial intelligence systems; generative artificial intelligence, including world simulators.
Looking forward to the development trend of artificial intelligence technology, Wang Haifeng, chief technology officer of Baidu Group, believes that higher quality and larger scale data and larger models will bring stronger capabilities; there is still room for improvement in large language models, and multi-modal unification of large Models will become more and more practical; agent technology will become more and more mature, which will promote the explosion of large model applications.
"Artificial intelligence is full of potential. The development of technology has brought us a more convenient lifestyle and will also promote innovation and development in all walks of life." Qiao Hong said.
Experts attending the meeting said that currently artificial intelligence has been deeply integrated into production and life, and it is necessary to further grasp the development direction of artificial intelligence, promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and ensure the sustainable development of artificial intelligence technology.
To promote the application of artificial intelligence in more fields, transparency and credibility are very important. "While ensuring effectiveness, improving explainability will help reduce the consumption of public resources, enhance users' trust in artificial intelligence systems, and promote its application in key areas." Qiao Hong said, for example, In the field of medical and health care, a highly interpretable artificial intelligence diagnostic system can make it easier for doctors to understand the basis for judgment.
With the deepening of application, artificial intelligence technology has brought some risks and challenges to social governance and ethics. Zhang Ping, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and professor of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, said that to deal with the potential ethical risks of artificial intelligence, on the one hand, we can build a general artificial intelligence theoretical framework to ensure the safety and controllability of the development of artificial intelligence technology from a theoretical level; In terms of interpretation and automated evaluation, external monitoring can be used to ensure the positive development of general artificial intelligence technology.
Strengthening artificial intelligence governance is inseparable from international cooperation. "We should actively promote international exchanges and cooperation, work together to address common challenges of mankind, make the development of artificial intelligence technology safer, more reliable, and more credible, and promote artificial intelligence to better enhance human welfare." China New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Strategy Research Institute Executive Dean Gong Ke said.
