The 2024 China International Big Data Industry Expo concluded in Guiyang on the morning of August 30. After a decade of development, the expo has become an important platform for leading innovation trends in the data field, showcasing industry achievements, and promoting open cooperation in China. As a benchmark for the national big data industry development, why does the expo remain evergreen? And how is Guizhou accelerating the cultivation of new-quality productivity through the innovative development of the digital economy?
A Decade of Growth
The expo, now in its tenth year, has witnessed remarkable growth and transformation. It has become a pivotal event for the data industry, attracting global attention and fostering collaboration. This year’s event featured cutting-edge technologies and solutions from leading enterprises and institutions, including Tencent’s Moyun Large Model, iFLYTEK’s StarFire V4.0, and the first Lunar Science Multimodal Professional Large Model released by the Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Alibaba Cloud.
New Trajectory: Focusing on New-Quality Productivity
This year’s expo highlighted the importance of new-quality productivity. The presence of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things showcased the global progress in these fields and discussed the future trends of the digital economy. The event sparked deep discussions among various stakeholders and drew the attention of many companies seeking opportunities in large model development.
Currently, there is a lack of digital planet cloud platforms that can aggregate big data. By collectively creating a lunar science multimodal professional large model, we can promote lunar science research and the implementation of lunar exploration projects, said Liu Jianzhong, a researcher at the Institute of Geochemistry.
360 Digital Security Group President Hu Zhenquan compared generative artificial intelligence to oil, emphasizing that Guizhou’s rich data resources and computing power could train more vertical large models. We will strengthen our cooperation with Guizhou in this regard, he added.
The expo brought together over 400 outstanding enterprises from the global big data field, all见证ing and driving the vibrant development of areas such as big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things. During the Guizhou special session, a vertical large model for investment promotion, jointly built by Guizhou Zhaoeasy Technology Service Co., Ltd., and South China University of Technology, was unveiled. This model marked the first time a state-owned enterprise in Guiyang and Guian New Area had released a vertical large model, leading the nation in practical application.
New Cooperation: Cultivating Development Momentum
Guizhou’s robust development in the digital economy is attributed to its strong foundation in the industry and its adaptability to the surge of general artificial intelligence. Xu Yulin, co-founder and senior vice president of科大讯飞 (iFLYTEK), noted, The province’s vitality is very strong under the general AI trend.
