As a world-renowned sports event, the Paris Olympics has undoubtedly become the focus of public attention this year. According to IOC President Bach, more than half of the world's population has paid attention to the Paris Olympics. With time differences and no time to watch the broadcast, how did you choose to learn about Olympic information and event dynamics?
In fact, with the help of the Olympic Games Assistant powered by AI big models, a large number of Chinese audiences have been able to watch the games easily. During the Olympic Games, domestic technology companies have combined the capabilities of AI big models with Olympic event information to provide users with personalized, timely and comprehensive information and content. Users can also unlock a new viewing experience in the AI big model era by asking questions to the AI Game Assistant.
In this regard, some experts said that by using artificial intelligence technology, Chinese technology can provide more intelligent services and support for Olympic events, thereby providing global audiences with a better viewing experience.
Assisting in watching games and empowering commentators
Chinese technology makes it easy for viewers to watch the Olympics
How can domestic audiences who cannot go to the site and are separated by a 6-hour time difference watch the games in a timely and easy manner? Nowadays, audiences do not have to go to the site in person, or even watch the entire schedule in front of the TV. They can watch the Olympics anytime, anywhere with just a mobile phone.
The combination of content platforms and AI big models allows users to obtain real-time Olympic event information around the clock. Ali Tongyi has opened the Olympic AI big model for free. On this big model, users can use the search and "Event Encyclopedia" functions to query various event knowledge and information. Baidu has also opened the Olympic intelligent body creation function on the Wenxin Intelligent Body Platform; users can chat with these intelligent bodies to obtain various issues about Olympic events and athletes. QQ Browser also launched the "AI Event Pass" based on Tencent Hunyuan Big Model, which can personalize and recommend relevant questions and graphic or video information that may be of interest to users.
The Olympic Games have a wide variety of events. For commentators, commentators and media reporters, how to quickly retrieve accurate Olympic event information and search for matching information from hundreds of years of Olympic history is a pain point in Olympic reporting and commentary.
Therefore, in addition to the AI assistant for C-end users, the big model also empowers the B-end with the commentary content of the Olympic events.
In the commentary and interpretation scenario, the Agent framework developed by Alibaba International AI team can show its prowess. This technical framework supports the AI concept product of the Paris Olympic Games commentary and provides AI services in the commentator scenario. It can quickly query and search the corresponding database or documents, and answer the commentator's specific questions through mathematical operations or complex reasoning, providing more professional and interesting support for the Olympic Games.
Chinese technology leads the way in improving the efficiency of international events
Will benefit the world in more scenarios
After bidding farewell to Paris, the Olympics are heading to Los Angeles. After shining in international events, in the future, Chinese science and technology will also play a role in international conferences, international exhibitions and other occasions, benefiting the world.
"Through the just-concluded Paris Olympics, Chinese science and technology has demonstrated its superb innovation and technological capabilities to global audiences, adding icing on the cake for the holding of the Paris Olympics." Wang Peng, an associate researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, analyzed that the participation of Chinese science and technology has brought more efficient and convenient technical support and guarantees to large-scale events, more innovative elements and highlights, and promoted the sustainable development of sports events.
In Wang Peng's view, China's technology empowers international sports events in three main aspects. First, through cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other technical means, the real-time transmission, storage and processing of event data are realized, which brings a good viewing experience and further ensures the fairness of the event.
The second is to use virtual reality, augmented reality and other technical means to provide the audience with a more immersive viewing experience. "In the future, it is possible to develop more innovative applications such as smart wearable devices and smart fitness equipment to enhance the audience's sense of participation in the event." Wang Peng said.
Third, with the help of new energy technologies, environmentally friendly materials and other means, Chinese science and technology has also reduced the impact and burden of sports events on the environment, thereby reducing the operating costs of the events.
In fact, empowering sports events is just one of the extensions of Chinese technology going global and seeking international development. Wang Peng believes that with the acceleration of globalization and the rapid development of science and technology, the international market's demand for high-tech products continues to grow. Chinese technology companies have leading advantages in artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, 5G and other fields, and can provide innovative products and solutions for the international market.
However, Chinese technology also faces many challenges in the process of going abroad. In particular, facing the fierce competition from many technology companies in the international market, the competition at the technical level is one of the biggest challenges for Chinese companies.
"In addition to continuously improving their own technological strength and innovation capabilities, the cultural differences faced by Chinese technology companies are an important challenge in the international market." Wang Peng suggested that Chinese technology companies need to continue to increase their investment and expansion in the international market to participate in international competition, and pay attention to changes and trends in the international market while focusing on brand building and internationalization strategies. "Keeping up with the pace of the international market, constantly innovating and changing to adapt to changes in market demand and the competitive environment will help Chinese technology companies maintain their leading position in the international market and achieve sustainable development."
