Qian Hai, deputy director of the Anhui Provincial Data Resources Administration, said that artificial intelligence, as the frontier of scientific and technological development in the world today, has become a new highland of global competition. As an important base of the national artificial intelligence industry, Anhui has been committed to building a good ecology for the development of the artificial intelligence industry and providing strong support for the development of the artificial intelligence industry. In this competition, after fierce competition, many outstanding entries stood out, fully demonstrating the innovative strength and unlimited potential of young talents in the field of artificial intelligence.
Zhang Dong, member of the Standing Committee of the Wuhu Municipal Party Committee and executive vice mayor, said that Wuhu City was approved to build a Wuhu data center cluster in 2022, becoming one of the two major clusters of the Yangtze River Delta hub of "Eastern Data and Western Computing".
1. The only data cluster in the six central provinces, it has attracted a number of leading enterprises in the industry such as Huawei, Sugon, and Capital ** to invest in Wuhan, with a total investment of more than 255 billion yuan.
Algorithms promote industry, infrastructure creates ecology. "Anhui Province and Wuhu City have vigorously built an artificial intelligence digital ecosystem and a good business environment to help enterprises develop rapidly. Chen Zhenjie, founder and chairman of Extreme Vision, said that thanks to good policy guidance and industrial foundation, Extreme Perspective, as an artificial intelligence algorithm platform enterprise, actively participates in building the Al ecosystem in Wuhu City and accelerates the construction of a digital ecosystem.
Chen Zhenjie shared that the artificial intelligence algorithm platform boosts the construction of regional digital economy.
