Xinhua Finance, Beijing, October 31. On October 31, the official website of the International Collegiate Programming Contest ("ICPC") disclosed a recent symposium between Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei and ICPC chairman, coaches and award-winning contestants. summary. The discussion will be held on October 14 this year.
At the symposium, Ren Zhengfei expressed his views on topics such as the development of artificial intelligence, young people's entrepreneurship, and Huawei's future. Ren Zhengfei said that the world's trend towards artificial intelligence is unstoppable.
Talking about the development of artificial intelligence, Ren Zhengfei said that the development of various technologies such as chips and computing power has promoted the arrival of the intelligent era. The turning point of this era is the application of artificial intelligence.
Taking Tianjin Port as an example, Ren Zhengfei said: "If you have the opportunity to visit Tianjin Port in China, from loading, transportation, stacking, including passing customs, there is almost no one on the more than 100 square kilometers of land. Steelmaking is It is very bitter and the fire is very hot. There is no one in front of the steel-making furnace or the steel rolling mill. In the past, you had to scoop out the molten steel to check the composition of the steel, but now you can judge whether the molten steel is qualified by wearing glasses. "
At the same time, he believes that judging from the common challenges that current world development poses to mankind, the rapid development of artificial intelligence is beneficial to society and also puts pressure on society. The country requires employment and enterprises require development. This is contradictory, but this is a social issue and is not a concern for enterprises. What enterprises are worried about is how to use technology to promote social progress. Social balance issues need to be solved by the government. As technical experts, they cannot solve social problems. They can promote technological progress and create more wealth. How to distribute them in society is a question for the government to think about.
When asked "Huawei's remote control-related technology encounters local regulatory issues, how can we make the technology develop better?" Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei's database is in the local country and is subject to local country supervision. For Huawei to operate data locally, it must obtain permission from the country and the local operator. Only when the local gateway is opened can Huawei provide services. "Accepting the supervision of this country before exercising it is not arbitrary." Ren Zhengfei said.
When it comes to Huawei's future development, Ren Zhengfei still maintains a sense of crisis. He said frankly, "To this day, we still can't say that we will survive. 99% of Chinese companies can cooperate with the United States. They are not subject to sanctions. Their chip computing power is higher than ours, and the things they can buy are better than ours." Good for us. Under such conditions, can we survive in the next few years? Don’t think we have great dreams when we gather together today, no, we are still struggling.”
Public information shows that ICPC is one of the largest and highest-level international college student programming competitions in the world. After more than 40 years of development, the International College Student Programming Contest has developed into the most influential computer competition for college students and is known as the Olympics in the field of computer software.
