This year's national "two sessions", Liu Qingfeng, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of iFLYTEK, brought a proposal, he proposed to formulate a national "general artificial intelligence development plan" to systematically accelerate the development of general artificial intelligence in China.
Liu Qingfeng believes that under the guidance of the "New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" issued in 2017, China has very solid technical reserves and established teams in the field of cognitive intelligence, and is expected to become the second pole of global wisdom.
At present, general artificial intelligence is the focus of global scientific and technological competition, and OpenAI's GPT-4 4V represents the most advanced level of the world's general large model base capability, and DALL-E3, Whisper, SORA, etc. are all successful practices in specific fields extended by the GPT-4 4V base capability platform.
Liu Qingfeng said that it is very necessary to formulate systematic plans according to the new situation in combination with new technological development, competition pattern, industrial empowerment and various changes in social life.
In 2024, the global competition in artificial intelligence will be further upgraded to systematic competition, and countries will begin to compete in terms of basic large models, industry applications, hardware, and industrial chains.
Liu Qingfeng suggested that on the basis of the 2017 "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan", aiming at the shortcomings that need to be made up in the development of general artificial intelligence in China, the design should be carried out, and the national "General Artificial Intelligence Development Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") should be systematically formulated around the dimensions of independent and controllable computing power ecological construction, open sharing of high-quality data, scientific evaluation standard formulation, forward-looking research and development of source technology, talent training, legal formulation and ethics and humanities, and the formulation and implementation of the national high-level promotion plan. Build China's comparative advantages in industry application and value creation.
Liu Qingfeng suggested that while formulating the national "plan", the relevant work of the general model should be accelerated. Accelerate the formation of an independent and controllable industrial ecology around domestic large models, support the opening of domestic large models to developers, and carry out the construction of large model evaluation systems and open source communities. Promote the establishment and resource sharing of high-quality data platforms at the national level, and support national strategic scientific and technological forces such as national laboratories, national key laboratories, and national artificial intelligence open innovation platforms to give priority and low-cost use in the form of unveiling the leader. Accelerate the collaborative research of brain science, brain-like intelligence, quantum computing and other fields with key research on artificial intelligence, form interdisciplinary breakthroughs, and help China's general artificial intelligence overtake in corners. Promote the in-depth integration of large models and scientific research, create a new scientific research paradigm of AI for Science, and cultivate a group of talents with professional scientific research capabilities and high-level general artificial intelligence understanding capabilities, so as to prepare for possible major breakthroughs in interdisciplinary disciplines. Accelerate the promotion of large models to empower the whole school period, and accelerate the exploration of the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents in China's artificial intelligence with a new mechanism. Research on talent competency models and training programs in the era of general artificial intelligence, and accelerate the cultivation of application-oriented talents.
