In the next 30 years, will the Internet ＂grow from scratch＂？ 5G+AIoT will become the super Internet.
World internet conference is held once a year, and the Internet, digital economy and artificial intelligence have already penetrated into every corner of our daily life. What will happen to the Internet in the next 30 years? What new business opportunities will the debut of 5G bring? What problems has the digital economy solved for us? This year, several Internet café s have made in-depth thinking on these issues, and at the same time, they have also brought us inspiration.
Ma Yun: In the next 30 years, the Internet will be "from scratch".
If the Internet was "from scratch" in the past 20 years, it will be "from scratch" in the next 30 years. This "nothing" is "nothing" everywhere, and no one can exist without the network.
In Ma Yun’s view, there may be many people who hate artificial intelligence now, but in the future, if there is no artificial intelligence, the whole society will not be able to operate. "Four years ago, my mother complained that she couldn’t use a mobile phone, and now they can use it. In China, many 70-year-olds can easily use technologies unimaginable five years ago. " Ma Yun said.
"I am a firm optimist of the digital economy. From the beginning, I firmly believed in the power of the digital economy and platform. This is a good opportunity for the world to achieve inclusive growth. The world needs leadership in digital technology. The speed of world change is definitely getting faster and faster, which will bring many social problems and uncertainties, but no one is an expert of tomorrow, and the government, academia and enterprises need to work together to solve problems. " For the digital economy, Ma Yun made this thinking. "In addition, we also need to formulate smart policies at the moment of wisdom, and don’t use yesterday’s practices to solve tomorrow’s problems."
Ma Huateng: Science and technology are good, not just simple Internet public welfare.
For the next wave of technology, Ma Huateng has a judgment: in the next two or three years, large-scale commercialization of 5G will be gradually rolled out, and 1 million devices can be connected to the network at the same time per square kilometer. This large bandwidth, low delay and high reliability network will send all kinds of applications driven by artificial intelligence to thousands of households. The threshold for transformation and upgrading of all walks of life will be continuously lowered, and the development of industrial Internet will enter the "fast lane".
Looking forward to cutting-edge technology, Ma Huateng emphasized that "technology is good": "We hope to think and explore with the industry, build correct values, social responsibilities and behavioral norms in the digital age, and build a healthy, inclusive, reliable and sustainable smart society."
Lei Jun: 5G+AIoT will become the next generation super Internet.
In the past, the massive applications provided by the Internet brought a lot of convenience to our lives, and the future Internet will become a part of intelligent life itself. Lei Jun believes that many AI products, from smart assistants and smart speakers in mobile phones to all kinds of robots, have been integrated into our daily lives. With the AI+ voice interaction becoming more and more daily, using voice to control the lighting switch, even turning on the air conditioner and watching TV is just a matter of words, which is particularly natural, even for the elderly and children.
"It is foreseeable that in the future, people’s lives will have an ubiquitous Internet figure, and all personal and home devices can be interconnected to truly provide 24-hour companionship services in our lives. Among them, many new intelligent life scenes and more new business opportunities will be added with innovative interactions such as voice and artificial intelligence. " Lei Jun said.
The combination of AI and IoT Internet of Things platform forms AIoT (abbreviation of AI and IOT, intelligent interconnection of all things), which is the next generation of super Internet, bringing super opportunities several orders of magnitude larger than the mobile Internet. Lei Jun firmly believes that it will become the most important driving engine of the digital economy.
Li Yanhong: Artificial intelligence is the main course. If you don’t eat it, you will lose an era.
"In the past year, artificial intelligence has become a social consensus." In August this year, Li Yanhong said in his speech at China International Intelligent Industry Expo, "In the past, everyone paid more attention to artificial intelligence and defeated the world Go champion. Today, we are more concerned about what convenience artificial intelligence has brought to people’s lives and how much efficiency it has improved people’s work. In the past, we may have paid attention to a driverless car running thousands of kilometers without human intervention. Today, we may be more concerned about how driverless driving can truly achieve safety, how to reduce costs, and how to run on the open road in a low-speed environment. "
Li yanhong believes that the internet is a starter, and its characteristic is fast; Artificial intelligence is the main course, which needs to be simmered slowly, but it is nutritious. In the future, no enterprise can claim that it has nothing to do with artificial intelligence. If you can’t eat this main course, you will lose an era.
Ding Lei: The digital economy solves the problems of efficiency and content.
What problems has the digital economy solved? In Ding Lei’s view, it is mainly manifested in two points: one is efficiency, and the other is content.
Ding Lei further explained that the efficiency of e-mail, search engine, e-commerce or payment system has been improved. In addition, the development of digital economy also meets the needs of consumers for different content positioning. "For example, with Netease Cloud Music, many independent musicians no longer need to distribute their works through record companies, but can directly publish their works on Netease Cloud Music."
