We are in the midst of a magnificent era and complex changes. Technology is increasing the weight of the times, data has become a variable affecting the trend of society, and new technology and digitalization are intertwined and promoted with politics, economy, military, diplomacy, and people's livelihood. Generative artificial intelligence is impacting everyone like thunder, general artificial intelligence is also on the way to the end, new technologies continue to input new energy into digital intelligence, and digital intelligence is awakening an era: the future has not yet arrived, and digital intelligence has been reached. Standing on the basis of new technology to understand digital intelligence is like the key to opening the door to the future.
Written by Shao ChunbaoPublished by CITIC Publishing GroupAt present, it is not uncommon to find books about digital intelligence technology and future development, but the uniqueness of "Future Development" lies in breathing with the development of the times, digging deeply, and exploring widely.
Clarify the connotation and extension of digital and intelligent economyIn the face of a large amount of intricate information, we may be "dissuaded" by technical terms and technical details, or it is difficult to see the whole picture from just a corner. "Future Development" clarifies one essence, two connotations, and three extensions of the digital economy. One essence, that is, the application and development of informatization and intelligence, which is the core content of the digital economy based on digital intelligence technology. Two connotations: one is a variety of network platforms supported by technology, network and data, breaking through geographical and time restrictions, focusing on a large number of users, enabling users to use data conveniently and quickly to carry out business activities, resulting in the rapid rise of enterprises on the platform in a short period of time; Second, the actual value of economic activities can be enhanced without increasing resources and energy, including the value brought by process reengineering, the value brought by management and governance upgrades, and the value brought by digital energy conservation and emission reduction. Three extensions: one is to extend from digital industrialization to industrial digitalization and even the entire economic field, mainly to provide digital technology, products, services, infrastructure and solutions for all walks of life, input digital intelligence technology for the real economy, so that various industries rely on digital technology and data elements to carry out economic activities and form a digital economic form; Second, digital development has led to changes in lifestyles, including the continuous emergence of new technologies, new formats and new models such as sharing economy, online retail, and mobile payment, as well as the application and service of digital products needed by smart cities, smart communities, and smart homes, which are profoundly changing people's living concepts and living habits. Third, the digitalization of the economy has spread to the digitalization of various industries such as society, culture, and education, including online education, online activities, online medical care, and governance, and the entire society is covered by digitalization. "Future Development" also systematically discusses the development context, operation mode and value creation, and industrial cluster advantages of the digital and intelligent economy, and clearly explains the important characteristics of the digital and intelligent economy, as well as the driving role of the digital economy in intelligent, ecological and green development. It presents a scientific path for the digital and intelligent economy to promote the future development, allowing people to be good "surfers" in the tide of profound change. The evolution trend of a digital and intelligent society"Future Development" clearly states that the products, tools, services, and software of the digital economy are widely used in social, educational, cultural and other aspects; ** And enterprises will expand the new infrastructure of the industry to the society in a timely manner, so as to facilitate people's use of digital products and tools; The application scenarios of digitalization are presented everywhere in society, and new labor relations, employment methods, and production relations are gradually formed, which broadens the way for the all-round development of people. The author believes that there are several steps for intelligent robots to replace human labor and form a new labor relationship: first, to replace urgent, difficult, dangerous and dirty positions, which are in line with people's wishes; Second, after replacing some of people's repetitive and boring positions, it will not be long before jobs and businesses with new digital styles will be born, which will be quickly supplemented after training people; Third, with the expansion of the scale of intelligent robots replacing people, there will be a division of labor between robots and people, the former will take on more physical labor, and people will take on more mental work, forming a new labor relationship; Fourth, due to the widespread use of intelligent robots, there will be a human-machine collaborative labor mode, and human beings will control the labor process of robots from a macro perspective, and gradually change from the labor of the means of livelihood to happy labor; Fifth, robots create more high-quality and low-cost products to ensure people's daily needs, people can free up their hands to enter the overall construction process of people, and engage in more creativity, creation, innovation, and creative work, including improving the level of science and technology and ideological and moral literacy; Sixth, people's participation in mental work is consistent with all-round development, because people's all-round development is mainly reflected in the fact that most people's intelligence lags behind physical fitness, and to carry out people's all-round development and improve people's overall quality, it is necessary to start from changing education, transforming school-based education into lifelong education, transforming elite education into shared education, expanding school education to social education, and extending traditional education methods to intelligent education methods. Generative AI, including large models, will be a means of learning and education and stationery. People have reduced heavy physical labor, recuperation, and the development of health and medical technology, human beings will enter the era of less disease and longevity; In turn, the way of life and the concept of life will be changed, and the family and society will have a new structure. The book is full of confidence that the future society will be better because of digital intelligence technology, laying a positive foundation for creating an optimistic background for the future, which is also the direction of people's pursuit of the association of free people. Sort out the effective means of digital and intelligent governanceIn the face of changes in the governance objects of the digital economy and digital society, multiple governance entities must also meet and adapt to the requirements of digitalization in order to fully play a role in the new social governance and see practical results. This new type of governance is based on the application and integration of digital intelligence technology, and on the premise of ensuring data security, it enables different subjects such as enterprises, enterprises, and individuals to share data assets to the greatest extent, promote data-related applications, and form a modern governance model of "using data for dialogue, decision-making with data, using data services, and innovating with data". Data governance not only has its inevitable trend and the advantages of shaping the times, but also has the defects of digital technology to participate in governance, and it still needs to be combined with social governance and natural governance to solve the problems of digital governance itself and make up for the corners that it is difficult to play a role, which requires a new type of social governance to follow the red, yellow and green traffic governance model on the basis of summarizing the traditional governance experience, and divide the governance object or work into three colors: red, yellow and green, which symbolize the crisis state, the risk state and the normal state. In governance, we should consolidate and improve the normal state, prevent the transformation of the risk state, quickly deal with the crisis state, and highlight the human nature and social nature. At the same time, it is also necessary to give full play to the role of natural governance, to deal with the problems that violate the laws of nature in the aspects of ecological environment, modernization, and socialization, to deal with the relationship between man and society, man and nature, economic construction and the ecological environment, to adhere to green development, systematic governance, and people-oriented, to realize the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and to establish a green, intelligent, low-pollution, low-consumption new human civilization. Embroidery and painting share a bright future of common prosperityThe trend of shared development and common prosperity is one of the themes of "Future Development". From the phenomena of digital industrialization and industrial digitization, the author finds three characteristics: intelligent development, platform development and ecological development, and the three are intrinsically linked, reflecting the shared nature of digitalization. The path of sharing is to balance empowerment and eliminate the gap through multiple channels such as opportunities, resources, and processes, and then share the results, so that we can vaguely see the important path of "making the cake bigger and dividing it better". To make the cake bigger, it depends on the large number of intelligent robots to participate in labor, fully liberate and develop productive forces, and create a huge number of high-quality products; Dividing the cake well is inseparable from the sharing economy that has been amplified by the development of digital platforms, helping different groups of people to break the shackles of geography, transportation, family, education, connections, resources, etc., helping people, inspiring people, and achieving people, so that the majority of ordinary people can reap the fruits of sharing and the joy of common prosperity through hard work. In short, "Future Development" has profound scientific and technological thinking, historical logic, economic foundation and management precipitation, and insists on telling new words, truth, and vernacular, and is not conventional; Continuing the reading reputation of "Future Engine", we will deepen the research on the digital economy and broaden the field involving digitalization. Reading this book, most of the "dry goods" are gnawed, which makes people gradually open their minds and benefit a lot. What we are trying to capture is the ever-changing initiative of technology application, but the final stop is still the eternal and affectionate humanistic care. Technology liberates people, social service people, governance helps people, and shares the achievements of people, as the author said in the preface, always pursue the light in front of us, all for a better future. 丨Chang'an Street Reading Club; Author丨Han Yongjin: Chairman of the National Library Council
