Internet Conference Looks Forward To The Post Epidemic Era: Science And Technology Support Anti Epidemic, 5G Technology Leads Intelligent Reform

On the morning of November 23, the "World Internet Conference and Internet Development Forum" with the theme of "digital empowerment, creating the future together - building a community of shared destiny in cyberspace" was opened in Wuzhen international Internet Exhibition Center, Zhejiang Province.

In the context of the global outbreak of new coronal pneumonia, the energy that science and technology can bring has attracted much attention.

"2020 is destined to be recorded in history. Facing the double superposition of the great changes and the unprecedented epidemic situation in a century, how to overcome the challenges and overcome the adversity is a common problem facing all mankind." In his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the world Internet Conference on 23rd, Yang Yuanqing, chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, said, "at this moment, everyone's common understanding is that technology is a force we can and must rely on."

Zhong Nanshan, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, said in the main forum of "digital economy and science and technology anti epidemic", today's big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technologies are accelerating the in-depth integration with transportation, medical care, education, scientific research and other fields, boosting the information transformation and upgrading of the whole society. Especially in this anti epidemic work, information and communication technology has provided a very strong support for epidemic prevention and control, showing great energy in situation research and judgment, information sharing, epidemiological analysis and other aspects.

In the post epidemic era, what will science and technology do and where will it go?

Anti epidemic force of science and technology

"Today, it has become a" new normal "to communicate with family members, hold meetings with colleagues, and ask doctors for advice." Yang Yuanqing said that the fourth industrial revolution promoted by human society, i.e. intelligent transformation, has helped the "new normal" burst out with infinite creativity.

Under the background of "the new revolution of science and technology, the Internet of things" is a new round of application of new technologies, such as the Internet of things.

"Since the beginning of this year, the outbreak and spread of new pneumonia in the world has brought great impact to the global economy and society. The importance of the Internet has become increasingly prominent. The digital economy has become an important force to hedge the impact of the epidemic, reshape the economic system and improve the governance capacity." The president of the Chinese Academy of technology and industry has played a more important role in the economic recovery of China

This judgment is not empty. On the afternoon of November 23, China Academy of cyberspace released the blue book of world Internet development report 2020 and China Internet development report 2020. Xia Xueping introduced at the blue book press conference that during the outbreak of new crown pneumonia, a series of online demands, such as online shopping, online education, online consultation, online entertainment and remote office, showed a blowout growth, and the digital level of the service industry accelerated. The number of users reached 381 million by the end of 2018, nearly double the number of online education users.

In addition to the outbreak of online demand, the evolution of new technologies plays a direct and irreplaceable role in the anti epidemic process. Zou Xiaoxiang, director of the Institute of information technology of China Academy of cyberspace, pointed out that in the process of fighting the new crown pneumonia, new generation information technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence and 5g have played an important role.

"From the accurate and efficient monitoring and analysis of epidemic situation, virus traceability and community management, to accelerating virus detection and diagnosis, gene sequencing, vaccine and new drug research and development, to accurate docking of supply and demand of epidemic prevention materials, efficient production, overall deployment and recycling management, and finally to accelerating the resumption of work and production of enterprises and maintaining the normal office and teaching of schools A wearable support. " Zou Xiaoxiang said.

Despite the current threat of the new outbreak, technology has played a huge role. However, in the current severe situation of anti epidemic, multi-party cooperation still faces great challenges. Xia Xueping pointed out that at present, the uncertainty of the future development direction of the world Internet is increasing, unilateralism and trade protectionism are on the rise, and global technological innovation exchange and cooperation, industrial chain and supply chain are being restricted and destroyed.

In this regard, Zhong Nanshan also called on the international community to join hands, abandon differences and carry out higher, closer and more comprehensive cooperation in vaccine research and development, 5g medical treatment, data sharing and other fields.

Hot discussion on 5g Technology

At present, new technologies are coming in one after another, and new formats emerge in endlessly. The Internet of things, edge computing / cloud computing, 5g and artificial intelligence are booming. However, what kind of technology architecture is needed in the future intelligent era, and which leading technology will become the traction of new technology architecture?

5g technology may be worthy of this task. "Recently, there has been a lot of debate about whether we should vigorously promote 5g, but I think that even though the investment in the initial stage is relatively high and the development of its application is relatively slow, it still needs to be vigorously constructed and promoted." Recently, in an interview with the 21st century economic reporter, Yang Yuanqing commented, "because 5g is not only to make mobile video more fluent and file transmission faster, but also a key to realize intelligent application."

Yang Yuanqing pointed out that, first of all, the development of 5g belt Internet of animals has promoted more terminal access, and the massive "data" generated by "end" is converging with a large amount of data generated in the information age, becoming a new oil well in the intelligent era.

Secondly, 5g will drive the development of cloud computing and cloud services, and will drive the application of edge computing. At the same time, in order to make 5g network construction more efficient and practical, cloud network integration technology, virtualization technology and network slicing technology are needed. The "edge cloud network" collaboration can make the "computing power" more powerful and ubiquitous. After the superposition of several elements, the computer can manage the business process and decision-making process better and more intelligently, and form the industry intelligence.

As a pioneer, the current domestic 5g construction and the development of new technologies behind it are also in full swing. Li Yuxiao, vice president of China Academy of cyberspace, said that by September 2020, more than 480000 5g base stations had been built in China. Breakthroughs were made in technologies such as 5g and operating systems. For the first time, the number of artificial intelligence patent applications surpassed that of the United States, becoming the first in the world.

On the basis of the evolution of communication technology, the current domestic digital economy is booming. Li Yuxiao said that at present, the scale of domestic industry digitization and digital industrialization is expanding continuously, and the total scale and growth rate of digital economy are in the forefront of the world. In 2019, the scale of China's digital economy has reached 35.8 trillion yuan, accounting for 36.2% of GDP.

"With the improvement of digitalization, many business models will change," Gao Ting, senior research director of Gartner, pointed out recently in an interview with 21st century economic news. "We suggest that in order to adapt to the new era of ubiquitous operation in the future, enterprises should first consider digital priority and remote priority when designing business models, and improve the digitization of physical space And improve distributed business capabilities.
