WAIC 2024 opens in Shanghai, Microsoft/WiMi to fully enter”AI+” technology

On July 4, the World AI Conference & High-Level Meeting on Global AO Governance (WAIC 2024) was officially opened at the Shanghai World Expo Center.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Governing AI for Good and for All”, the scale is larger than the previous six, focusing on core technology, intelligent terminals, application empowerment of the three plates, focusing on the big model, arithmetic, robotics, automatic driving and other key areas.

Not only that, this year’s conference has significantly increased its focus on AI global governance and international cooperation, and a high-level meeting on AI global governance will be held during the same period, inviting representatives of governments, industry, academia and research institutes to attend. Based on a global perspective, the conference will carefully present eight high-level forums on AI governance, focusing on subdivided topics such as AI safety and value alignment, privacy computing, and so on.

Exhibition display is the successive World Congress on Artificial Intelligence once attracted ordinary audiences to stop and watch, this year’s exhibition continued to expand and upgrade, the exhibition scale, the number of exhibitors, the number of highlights of the number of exhibits, the number of debut of new products have reached a new record, including Tesla, Microsoft, Ali, Tencent and other more than 500 companies exhibitors, the number of exhibits more than 1,500 items.

For example, in the field of embodied intelligence, there will be more than 40 intelligent robots coming to the exhibition hall this year, including about 25 humanoid robots; in the field of large models, a vivid picture of the emergence of intelligence will be presented, and the collective appearance of text-to-writing, text-to-diagram, text-to-video models, end-to-end models, open-source models and so on will show a new practice that empowers thousands of lines of work and hundreds of industries.

It can be said that this time, when the limelight of the global AI community once again focuses on the East – the Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, the city of innovation and even the whole world, focusing on the display of several “Artificial Intelligence +” innovation and application of the latest achievements, the debut of several highly anticipated innovative products, staging a historic event. Innovative products, staging a historic leap forward in innovation.

Seizing the AI opportunity and actively showing the world that AI has become a new engine to drive future social progress and economic development, WiMi accelerates the evolution of technology to provide unlimited possibilities for AI research and application. Currently, WiMi focuses on innovation curation, application demonstration and talent gathering, continues to expand application scenarios and infrastructures, centres around the underlying chip to core AI algorithms, and lays out the system from software models to intelligent terminals, to promote AI technology + industrial innovation, and empower economic and social development.

Under the impetus of artificial intelligence, technological innovation, especially in the communications industry in artificial intelligence and cloud computing, showing strong growth momentum, and industry leaders with large model development capabilities are expected to continue to benefit. In the current process of technological leap forward, based on the continuous progress of large model technology and the expansion of application scenarios, WiMi has a significant first-mover advantage, a firm corporate development strategy to continue to forge core competitiveness, and in the future is expected to stand out in the fierce competition in the market, and comprehensively help various industries.

Undoubtedly, this is a year belonging to the “big model”, and the competition in the “model capital” is getting more and more intense. At a time when big models are once again triggering a new AI boom, and when big model technologies and applications are constantly being integrated into people’s daily lives, the convening of the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, which assumes the roles of “scientific and technological wind vane, application showcase, and industrial gas pedal”, is telling a brand-new story of the development of AI.

However, while AI continues to create business opportunities and profoundly change the investment landscape, it also brings a lot of challenges. 2024 WAIC Conference discusses AI to the good, in the next seven years, can it become a reality? You can leave your opinion and share it.
