"China has become the leader in the growth of computing power in the world. China's artificial intelligence needs its own large model base to carry the civilization inheritance of Chinese corpus and Chinese history. My mind is one of the attempts." Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Peking University Information Gao Wen, director of the Department of Engineering Science, said at the 2024 China Automation Conference held recently.
Gao Wen said that in the intelligent era, the scale of computing power is the core element of national competitiveness, and computing power will become a new productive force in social development. The advantage of computing power does not lie in the volume of computing power, but in higher computing efficiency, extensive emerging technology applications, and sound infrastructure support. The computing power network is an inevitable trend in the development of computing power infrastructure. Facing the national "East-to-West Computing" strategic project, Gao Wen's unit uses super direct-connect optical networks to connect large-scale green computing power across the country with ultra-wideband and low latency. Deliver the best experience to users and realize the green and high-quality coordinated development of computing power and energy.

The 2024 China Automation Conference is hosted by the China Society of Automation and hosted by Qingdao University of Science and Technology and the National Rubber and Tire Engineering Technology Research Center. With the theme of "New Quality Development and Intelligent Control of the Future", the conference invited more than 10 academicians and more than 300 presidents and deans of universities and research institutes to attend the conference. More than 3,000 representatives from academia and industry attended the conference.
Zheng Nanning, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, chairman of the Chinese Society of Automation, and professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University, said that artificial intelligence is integrating automation technology into all walks of life on a larger scale and in depth, penetrating into every corner of life. Embodied intelligence is an important direction in the field of artificial intelligence. It emphasizes that intelligent agents deeply interact with the physical environment through perception, cognition and action, which will greatly enhance the flexibility of the automation system and make the automation system no longer limited to presets. procedures, but can make autonomous decisions and actions according to changes in the environment, including understanding of human intentions and behavioral motivations. This is also a new trend in the development of future industrial software—embodied software. We should seize the historic opportunities brought by automation and artificial intelligence, jointly respond to these challenges, and use wisdom and innovation to lead the future of China's automation technology.
The China Automation Conference is a large-scale comprehensive academic conference hosted by the Chinese Automation Society. Since its establishment in 2009, after 15 years, it has become one of the most influential academic events in the fields of automatic control, instrumentation, aerospace, artificial intelligence, network security, and intelligent manufacturing in my country.
