"the integration of cloud computing and artificial intelligence has once again brought a surging tide of transformation to the industry." on september 3, liu xiangwen, vice president of alibaba cloud intelligence group, said in hangzhou that artificial intelligence has fully played the role of the biggest variable in promoting industrial development and social progress in this era; cloud computing has played the role of the infrastructure force that nurtures and promotes the progress of artificial intelligence.
based on the foundation provided by leading cloud service companies such as bat, domestic general-purpose large models such as tongyi, wenxin, and hunyuan have been launched in the past year. the integration of cloud computing and artificial intelligence continues to deepen, promoting the emergence of new technologies, new products, and new formats such as wensheng pictures and videos, "end-to-end" intelligent driving large models, and collaborative office intelligent assistants.
in liu xiangwen's view, cloud computing, as an information infrastructure, has driven almost every important moment in the three waves of social development. "from the birth of the internet and mobile internet, to the digital transformation of traditional enterprises, to the combination of artificial intelligence and cloud computing today, the whole society has witnessed this trend."
at present, the scope of artificial intelligence has gone beyond the digital world and has become more integrated with the physical world. liu xiangwen believes that the iteration path of this technology can be observed from four aspects. first, artificial intelligence is a very large scenario-driven cloud technology, and cloud technology is also rapidly upgrading and evolving. "from infrastructure to various middle-layer cloud products, a lot of cloud technologies that are adapted to the development of artificial intelligence have been iterated and upgraded."
the second is the evolution of big models and the explosion of ai applications. "for example, the innovative system of big models, the new progress of multimodal big models, and the implementation of aigc in various fields all indicate that artificial intelligence will break through the track itself and integrate with entities across fields," said liu xiangwen.
third, the development of robotics technology will have huge room for development with the support of cloud technology. liu xiangwen took smartphones as an example and said that smartphones are actually a form of computer. in the future, every family will have a robot, just like they have a personal computer now. "at the same time, since the industrial chain of robot manufacturing is longer, cloud technology also needs to use technology to promote the balance of various systems in robot manufacturing."
fourth, the field of cloud technology has a large number of companies of different sizes. the collision and cooperation between companies at different upstream and downstream nodes will also promote continuous innovation in cloud technology.
from invisible to touchable, cloud technology has been implemented in various scenarios. "cloud technology companies should increase investment to help the public deepen their understanding of cloud computing and artificial intelligence." liu xiangwen suggested that cloud service companies can do a lot to promote cloud technology, such as making cloud technologies that people may not have heard of or seen available offline so that they can easily touch and experience them.
