【雙語學習】大國崛起之——中國人工智能產業蓬勃發展

自2000年以來，我國政治、經濟、文化不斷進步，近年來在大數據時代下，人工智能產業更是蓬勃發展。在11月24日剛剛結束的世界互聯網大會·互聯網發展論壇上，專家和政府權威人士對于新冠疫情下的人工智能深入剖析，可見未來人工智能領域將會給中國和世界更多驚艷。

    11月24日，世界互聯網大會·互聯網發展論壇在浙江省烏鎮落下帷幕。會上，各專家和政府人士表示，中國靈活利用人工智能等新興技術，為新型冠狀病毒疫情等全球性問題尋找解決方案。工業和信息化部副部長劉烈宏在論壇上說：“人工智能在幫助許多行業抗擊流感也發揮了顯著作用，特別是在制造業、運輸業、物流業、醫療保健業和教育業”。 

劉烈宏說，盡管還存在各種不確定因素，但截止今年上半年，中國核心人工智能產業規模已達到770億元人民幣（110億美元），人工智能企業數量超過260家。正是由于政府和企業在人工智能創新方面的共同努力，特別是在專用芯片、應用算法和開放平臺方面，計算機視覺、自然語言理解等一系列技術達到了全球先進水平。

為期兩天的論壇吸引了130多家國內外知名企業和機構前來展示他們的新技術，在浙江省政府與中國電子科技集團公司舉行的分論壇上，共簽署了40個數字經濟合作項目，涉及投資額639.6億元。

人工智能技術和服務提供商4Paradigm的總裁裴沵思在會上表示，“中國在人工智能領域的角色已經從追隨者轉變為領導者。在一些人工智能垂直領域，比如人工智能應用，中國甚至超過了美國等國家。”正如其所言，中國一直在加大人工智能的開發力度——在十四五計劃（2021-25年）中，中國強調了人工智能、5G、超級計算和量子計算等技術在發展中的作用。根據一份行業報告，中國在2019年首次超越美國成為人工智能技術專利申請的領頭羊。截至今年10月，中國人工智能相關專利申請量已達69.4萬件，同比增長56.3%。裴沵思說：“疫情使中國的傳統企業越來越意識到，我們需要盡可能多地使用先進技術。為了解決這些瓶頸問題，該公司推出了一個名為Sage AIOS的人工智能操作系統，它可以讓公司只需輸入數據表格就可以創建一個人工智能應用場景。

不過，科技是把雙刃劍的問題也不能回避，中國互聯網協會聯合會主席任賢良表示，人工智能在帶來便利的同時，也帶來了數據濫用等問題。“針對這些問題，中國政府一直在積極探索解決辦法，包括建立網絡安全和數據安全管理的法律法規，以促進人工智能領域的健康發展。”

China has been at the forefront of using emerging technologies like artificial intelligence to find solutions to global problems like the novel coronavirus outbreak, officials and experts said on Tuesday.

"AI has played a remarkable role in helping a slew of industries fight the negative effects of the pandemic, especially in manufacturing, transportation, logistics, medical care and education," said Liu Liehong, vice-minister of industry and information technology, at the World Internet Conference — Internet Development Forum, which ended on Tuesday in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province.
Despite the lingering uncertainties, the scale of China's core AI industries reached 77 billion yuan ($11 billion) during the first six months of this year, Liu said, adding that the number of AI companies exceeded 260.

It is thanks to the joint efforts from the government and companies in AI innovations, especially in dedicated chips, application algorithms, and open platforms, that a slew of technologies such as computer vision and natural language understanding have reached the advanced level globally, Liu said.
The two-day forum attracted over 130 well-known companies and institutions from both home and abroad to showcase their new technologies.
Forty digital economy cooperation projects involving an investment of 63.96 billion yuan were inked during a sub-forum held by the Zhejiang provincial government and China Electronics Technology Group Corp.

Pei Misi, president of 4Paradigm, an artificial intelligence technology and service provider, said that China has transformed from a follower to a leader in AI. "In some AI verticals, like AI applications, China even surpasses countries like the United States," he said.
The country has been ramping up its AI development efforts. In its 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) proposals, the nation has highlighted the role of frontier technologies like AI, 5G, supercomputing and quantum computing in development.
According to an industry report, China overtook the US as the leader in AI technology patent filings for the first time in 2019.By October this year, the nation's AI-related patent filings had reached 694,000, up 56.3 percent on a yearly basis.
"The epidemic has made the country's traditional enterprises increasingly aware of the fact that they need to be armed with as much advanced technologies as possible," Pei said.

Domestic companies have realized that replacement of intelligent technologies like AI will be a very fundamental change. If the gap is widened, it cannot be made up in one or two years, he said.
To help tackle the bottlenecks, the company has launched an AI operating system called Sage AIOS, which enables companies to create an AI application scenario by simply typing in the data form.
Ren Xianliang, president of the China Federation of Internet Societies, however, said that while AI brings conveniences, it also creates problems such as data abuse.
"In the light of these problems, the Chinese government has been actively exploring solutions, including establishing laws and regulations for cybersecurity and data security management, to foster the healthy development of the AI sector," he said.
