Li Hang, vice president of marketing and public relations of Tencent Group and vice chairman of Tencent Youth Development Committee, shared the findings of joint research with China Artificial Intelligence Society: nearly 70% of parents think AI and programming are very important to children, but more than half of teenagers have not received AI enlightenment;54% of parents agree that AI should be enlightened for children in family education, but only 0.9% of parents can do it. He announced that Tencent will soon launch "AI Programming First Lesson," with Mini programs as the carrier, to provide AI and programming enlightenment platform for zero-based teenagers nationwide, to help teenagers understand AI in practice and cultivate scientific and technological capabilities.

Deciphering how AI perceives decisions and creates

ChatGPT, which was popular all over the world at the beginning of the year, aroused the public's keen attention to generative AI. Sun Maosong, executive vice president of Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of Tsinghua University, led his team to self-develop AI poetry writing model "Nine Songs" since 2015 to popularize the natural language processing technology behind generative AI to teenagers. Sun Maosong introduced that traditional Chinese poetry pays attention to rhythm and antithesis neat, contains far-reaching images, semantic expression is also richer and more complex,"Jiu Ge" based on classical poetry big data, designed and constructed poetry and couplet AI automatic writing system, attack AI's Chinese understanding and analysis ability. "the pine trees on the ridge are green in their eyes, and the windows of the attic near the water are lined up. Far away from the three peaks of green, monk house clear hidden fog screen. "he used a seven-character quatrain composed by nine songs to guide young people to appreciate the charm of the collision between traditional culture and cutting-edge technology.

Tencent AI Lab voice technology expert researcher Wang Jun explained to teenagers how AI can learn from humans "can listen to Tao." "When talking with others in noisy environment, the human brain will automatically block the surrounding 'noise', focus on the target object and listen to each other's words clearly," Wang Jun introduced. Tencent AI Lab takes this as inspiration to design and train the bottom model of AI hearing, so that AI can intelligently analyze noise reduction and "listen clearly" in noisy environment through the progressive way of "judging important information-focusing attention-extracting new information."

Intelligent decision making is one of the important directions of artificial intelligence development. "R & D intelligent decision-making is inseparable from simulation scenarios. Liu Lin, head of Tencent's enlightenment platform, said that the enlightenment platform relies on the game scene and computing framework of "King Glory" to provide a simulated environment for intelligent decision-making research for dozens of well-known universities such as Tsinghua University and University of Electronic Science and Technology. College students can self-develop decision-making algorithm models, test and verify effects in virtual game scenes, and train AI to independently analyze complex environments and make intelligent decisions. With the help of game scene training cutting-edge AI technology, but also in the service production life. For example, Tencent and China Southern Airlines jointly developed a new generation of full-motion flight simulator vision system, three days can restore an airport with high precision, help our civil aviation pilots more efficient training.

Share AI technology trends

Pan Jiaofeng, president of the Institute of Science and Technology Strategic Consulting of Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the Strategic Consulting Institute), analyzed the development stage of AI technology at present in combination with previous industrial revolutions at the scientific meeting, and launched the "2023 AI Technology Atlas" drawn by Wang Xiaomei researcher team of the Strategic Consulting Institute using AI algorithm at the meeting, visually presenting the AI territory of the world, analyzing the development status of AI technology in China, and providing reference for grasping the development trend of AI technology. 

The meeting also dynamically demonstrated the development and changes of various technical fields of AI in China in the past six years, showing that AI in China is entering a stage of rapid development. In image analysis, voice recognition, video analysis, unmanned aerial vehicles and other AI application technologies, China has made great progress and has reached or approached the world advanced level. Pan Jiaofeng also pointed out that compared with developed countries, there is still a big gap in AI basic technology, especially AI hardware technology. He hoped that young friends should focus on the study of mathematics, physics, brain science and other basic disciplines, and contribute to China's construction of an autonomous and controllable AI technology system.
