Shulou(Shulou.com)06/02 Report--

In 2019, for most enterprises and individuals, the key words are "wait" and "stick to it". Under the downward pressure of the global economy, people begin to examine their careers, jobs and opportunities. At the same time, the expectation of new technology to change the economy, promote industrial upgrading and digital transformation seems to be as urgent as it is today.

But at this moment, how on earth do we go through the fog of time to look at the wind and sea of the future? Perhaps a magnifying glass of the global economy and digitization process, which is made up of data, is the best gift we can give to next year at the end of the year.

The Global Connectivity Index has played such a gift role for six years in a row. As Huawei provides policy makers around the world with an objective analysis tool on how to invest in and develop ICT infrastructure, the index is positioned to "quantify the digital economy process". In the process of digital economy, we are obviously very urgent to understand how technology promotes economic development and social progress today.

In the sound of butterflies flapping their wings, the intelligent world opened the cloud curtain.

From connection to Smart connection: hear the Wings of AI Butterfly

In 2018, the Global Connectivity Index has keenly accommodated the technical observation of AI. When AI has changed from a single point of technology and development base to a real driving force for the development of digital economy and industrial upgrading, technological butterflies have waved their wings in the real world. As one of the four key technologies to enable "smart connection", the integration and application of AI and other three key enabling technologies (broadband, cloud computing and Internet of things) will become a new driving force for economic growth.

At the same time, the research formally brings AI into the systematic research and observation, and gives a scheme for AI to interact with other technologies, which then affects the trajectory of the economy, and intuitively shows the upward potential of AI technology to the economy.

The report shows that the impact of AI technology on the world economy shows two important characteristics: it has a clear driving force for economies at different stages of digitization; the higher the degree of digitization and the more complete the ICT infrastructure, the more complete the AI development potential will be demonstrated.

According to the huge global digital economic data, Huawei's global connectivity index can be said to clearly put forward the economic trigger trajectory of AI technology for the first time. In order to adapt to this unique economic development model of AI technology, economic decision-makers, industry and enterprise representatives should clearly define the corresponding AI development strategies, which should pay attention to the universal adaptation of AI technology, develop its full contact with various industries and fields, and maximize the potential of AI's general economic engine. At the same time, we must continue to promote the construction of ICT infrastructure and strengthen the collaborative dividend between different technologies, so as to effectively activate the transition from digital to intelligent development and avoid the "AI gap" effect caused by the stronger.

While carrying out the technical and economic insight into AI, the original intention of the research is to put technology in the world background of global economy and ICT comprehensive technology. Put the AI technology, which is the star observation point of this year, into the general environment, and we can get a glimpse of the broader future world.

(even in countries with leaders in ICT infrastructure development, the potential of artificial intelligence is far from being fully exploited. In addition, we also see that the development of artificial intelligence in China is gaining momentum.)

Technology merging: typhoon ball converges at this moment

Reviewing the six-year history of Huawei's global connectivity index, we can find that the evolution of ICT technology is profoundly affecting the development direction of digital economy in various countries, constantly stimulating new opportunities and new demand for digital transformation.

The six-year overview of the global connectivity index is in fact a process in which new technologies are constantly incorporated, existing technologies are constantly iterated, and the ICT technology matrix is not read to find new balance points and development momentum. For example, the first release in 2014 focused on connection technology, the first discussion of cloud computing in 2017, and the introduction of AI in 2018. In this process, it is accompanied by the development of economic trend, the iteration of industrial methodology, and the burst of new social value of new industry.

Therefore, under the general background, through this heat map of technological development, we can regard today's digital economic world as an era of ultra-high-speed technology. The economic potential of AI burst out, historically meeting with the commercial penetration of 5G. At the same time, the sustainable development of cloud computing and the logical evolution of the Internet of things technology constitute the technological synergy effect in the development of digital economy. The technological explosion and fusion, which is composed of the historic maturity of many technologies, is profoundly subverting the relationship between the digital economy and the physical economy and re-forming a new development model of intelligent economy.

The way this trend is coming has been accurately answered in 2019 of the report: acceleration.

Research shows that when the global market penetration of the new generation mobile network exceeds 10%, the economy will explode. But the time it takes for each generation of mobile technology to reach 10% global penetration varies: it took seven years for 3G networks to deploy, that is, 10% global penetration until 2009, while 4G networks took six years to deploy. The global connectivity index 2019 predicts that the deployment of 5G networks will reach 10 per cent global penetration in just four years.

(Huawei Global Connectivity Index 2019 shows that the inflection point of the economic impact of 5G is accelerating.)

The fact that 5G is accelerating its value is playing an obvious role in the economic upturn triggered by AI, providing an effective super-connection basis for AI technology to enable thousands of industries. As end-users and inevitable industry players, we, as the public, may have to strengthen our understanding of the integration and continuous promotion of several technologies at this moment, because the opportunities to change our work and lives lie in these typhoon ball collisions.

Smart connection: the earth is in the same wind field

Looking at the larger world, we can see that the digital development process of the global economy and the trend of multi-technology synergy are hovering together to form a new cooperative jigsaw puzzle that may not have been seen in human history.

Take Switzerland, Bulgaria, China and other rapidly rising countries with outstanding performance in Huawei Global connection Index 2019 as an example. their common feature is that they are fully adapted to the role division of labor and cooperation mechanism in the process of digital technology globalization to achieve the rapid adaptation and development of the digital economy.

Smart connection integrates AI technology and ICT technology into a whole for the first time, and pays attention to the profound transformation of various industries and the reshaping of economic relations. In this process, the development of smart connections requires more complementary advantages of different roles, and the application of smart connections also requires the reconstruction of brand-new relationships between countries, enterprises and enterprises, and between technology and technology.

A self-driving company, for example, is likely to register in Europe, look for talent such as data scientists in Israel, work with computer vision platforms in the US or India, and outsource a large amount of data collection in autopilot to Indian companies. At the same time, the company can be used to take the lead in completing the market application of self-driving vehicles in Australia, taking advantage of Australia's transportation and policy advantages to complete the initial commercialization.

In such a business model, Israeli experts, American platform AI enterprises, India's IT manpower advantages and the Australian market will form a sufficient ecosystem, which reorganizes the relationships among a series of companies such as automobile manufacturing, Internet, ICT, traffic engineering, AI algorithms, redistributes the value of the industry, and makes the role of global cooperation unprecedented. Thus it can be seen that only in the context of globalization can the benefit of smart connection be maximized, and it will accelerate the coordination of global industrial roles, technological collaboration and cooperation between countries, which is an unshakable trend in the future.

(look for the position of each country, every organization, and everyone in the smart ecosystem)

If we regard the intelligent connection of globalization and multi-technology cooperation as the denominator of a formula, then we, as molecules, may have to reverse the formula to find opportunities in the intelligent world: industrial roles, industry-university-research interaction, and the value of the international market are all being reconstructed. reconstruction means new demand, new market and new jobs. If we want to achieve better development, we must understand that the earth is in the same wind field of "smart connection", to find and explore its own position.

As a magnifying glass of the smart world and the future, Huawei Global connection Index tells us a series of things close to the "conclusion". How to make good use of this conclusion, perhaps each of us, every enterprise needs a set of authoritative index evaluation system.
