It is also the annual World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, this year, it ushered in its first 10th anniversary.

Looking back at Wuzhen 10 years ago, the key words of the first World Internet Congress revolved around "mobile Internet".

Looking at Wuzhen 10 years later, the Internet in China is re-launching from a new starting point-the hot "artificial intelligence, big model" has become a key word mentioned by everyone.

What did the veterans and upstart of the Internet say at this Wuzhen Summit? What new trends did they elaborate on?

"now BAT is willing to play a supporting role" this year is also the tenth year that Zhou Hongyi, founder of the Group, attended the Wuzhen Summit. When talking about the changes in the past ten years, he summed it up very thoroughly.

"Ten years ago, people were talking about the consumer Internet, traffic and the number of users. Now we are talking about participating in the national strategy, industrial Internet, industrial Internet, and how various industries make use of digital technology transformation; ten years ago, the hot spots were business models, user experience, and click-through rates; and now the industrial Internet is talking about hard-core technology, large models, and self-driving, and the awards awarded by the conference are more and more biased towards technology and technological progress. "

More importantly, he points out that ten years ago, Internet companies were in high spirits and thought they were the protagonists; now BAT is willing to play a supporting role, serving the industry, and entering the field of ToB and ToG is to change their minds.

"in the past, the Internet is an emerging industry, but now it is a mature industry, and the competition barrier will be higher. Industrial digitization is a new blue ocean. Shangyun, big model, Internet of things, this is a huge opportunity. Internet enterprises should be willing to play a supporting role and do a good job in service.

As Zhou Hongyi said, almost all the entrepreneurs who attended the meeting focused on hard-core technology.

Wu Yongming, who soon took office as CEO of Alibaba Group, attended the Wuzhen Summit of the World Internet Conference for the first time. He said at the plenary meeting that in the AI era, Alibaba wants to become an innovative and open science and technology platform enterprise that serves the whole society's AI. This is the first time that the domestic Internet industry has clearly put forward the orientation and direction of "science and technology platform enterprises".

Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, also highlighted artificial intelligence in his speech. He predicts that from next year, there will be a variety of intelligent terminals that support individual models, including computers, mobile phones, tablets, workstations and even cars, with personal artificial intelligence twins, making artificial intelligence accessible and greatly improving our quality of life and work efficiency.

However, there are entrepreneurs who hold different views.

Zhang Chaoyang, chairman of the board of directors and CEO of Sohu Company, pointed out in an interview with Sina Technology that the development and change of the Internet is a continuous process, although the tuyere is also very important, such as generative AI, which needs to be shown many years later. In his view, in the process of the continued development of the Internet, the core is the dissemination of information, social communication, information distribution and social interaction, which is the essence of the Internet, which is still in progress. For example, from the text and pictures of the early PC era to the pictures, short videos and live broadcasts of the mobile phone era.

"if you don't have a lot of money and your cash flow is not very good, if you want to invest all your money in big models, if you want to seize the opportunity of AIGC and put all your money into it, then this may be a bit dangerous." Zhang Chaoyang said.

Is the era of big model per capita coming? At the 2023 World Internet Congress "Internet Light" Expo, a number of head technology enterprises participated in the exhibition one after another. On various booths, "AI" and "big model", as the hottest scientific and technological terms this year, have also become the protagonists of this year's "Internet Light" Expo.

At the exhibition site, representative models such as Alibaba Tongyi Qianwen, Huawei Pangu model, Tencent mixed yuan model and ant group lark model are all placed in the most prominent position and given priority to display.

It is worth noting that the Ant Group also showed the full stack technical layout circuit diagram of the large ant model for the first time.

"the big ant model takes the technical route of pure self-development, with full stack layout and long-term development as the principle. Previously, too much emphasis was placed on the capabilities of the application layer, but the introduction of the underlying technologies was ignored, and now they are ready to be introduced." Some people on the scene told Sina Science and Technology.

On the booth of China Unicom, a "textile and clothing model" brought by the China Unicom clothing manufacturing regiment has also become a "conspicuous bag". Based on the technical capability of the large model of computer vision, the model can provide support for compliance inspection, fabric inspection and intelligent AIGC for textile enterprises, and improve the operation efficiency of the factory. In addition, C-end applications such as "poster design robots" that need to generate a picture, "conversational programming robots" that can write programs by moving their mouths, and three-dimensional and vivid AI digital people are also emerging.

Zhou Hongyi also talked about his views on the increasingly popular big model in an interview with Sina Science and Technology. In his view, the security problems faced by many large models, "all digital technologies have loopholes and will be attacked, and large models cannot be immune from vulgarity." in the future, every industry and everyone can't do without big models. in order to solve the security problem, it is necessary to develop and train the big model to know how to solve its security problem. "

In the short term, the subversive business changes brought about by AI, large models and other technologies are difficult to appear quickly, but with the rapid iterative development of technology and the continuous acceleration of landing speed, the cutting-edge applications of artificial intelligence and large models will accelerate into life and become accessible tools and assistants for ordinary people.
