arrangement of conference activities

this year's conference is mainly composed of four sections: conference forum, exhibition, competition award and application experience. The conference forum continues the overall structure of "1+2+11+X", that is, an opening ceremony, two plenary sessions, 11 theme forums and several unique forum activities; The scale of the exhibition has been further expanded, with an offline exhibition area of 4, square meters, double that of previous years, and the cloud platform exhibition will be upgraded; Guided by the "SAIL Award", the competition awards gather brand competitions such as algorithm contest, AIWIN, youth artificial intelligence contest and outstanding young papers selection. The application experience will further enrich the intelligent scenes around the venue and show the results of digital transformation. Characteristics of this year's conference

The main characteristics of this conference can be summarized by three "most", namely, the latest frontier direction, the most industry-wide ecology and the best application experience.

The latest frontier direction is reflected in three aspects

First, there are more heavy guests

At present, Joseph? JosephSifakis, WhitfieldDiffie, John? Turing prize winners such as John

Hopcroft, ManuelBlum and Yao Qizhi, Michael? Lin Nasi, a Nobel Prize winner such as Michael

Levitt and the father of Linux? LinusTorvalds, the father of big data, Victor? Schoenberg (Viktor

Sch? Nberger), Siemens CEO RolandBusch, Qualcomm global CEO CristianoR.

Amon, Huawei's rotating chairman Hu Hou _ and 36 chairman Zhou Hong _ have confirmed their attendance, and founders, CEOs or CTO of Tencent, Ali, Baidu and JD.COM will also attend. According to preliminary statistics, there were more than 1, guests who spoke at the conference and participated in the round table, nearly double that of last year. Among them, there are 49 domestic academicians, 13 foreign academicians, 16 presidents of top universities, 25 directors of national professional societies and associations, and nearly 15 founders and CEOs of leading scientific and technological enterprises, central enterprises and state-owned enterprises.

Second, the hot topics are more focused.

On the one hand, around the national strategy, we responded to global concerns, and discussed in depth hot topics such as "Trusted AI", "AI and peak carbon dioxide emissions's carbon neutrality" and "Bridging the digital divide". On the other hand, the conference arranged the forum activities in a matrix, that is, around the focus areas such as algorithms, chips, investment and financing, and encouraged many units to hold forums from different angles to thoroughly discuss the issues from more dimensions. In particular, this year's conference will focus on open source framework, AI and brain science, cognitive intelligence, privacy computing, AI and quantum computing, and build nearly 2 professional academic forums.

In addition, this year's AI Night Talk will be based on the theme of "Pujiang AI on

Digital Home", which will be continued in the "two highlands" on both sides of Pujiang, and the "Shanghai Center" in Pudong will be cut in from the perspective of people's concern, with the same imagination of digital home; Xuhui "Smart Tower Field" will gather many camps, such as "new forces to build cars, technical enablers and investment helpers", and discuss the achievable goals of intelligent driving.

Third, the cutting-edge achievements are more abundant

The TOP3 list released by the SAIL Award at the conference includes very large-scale models such as Huawei Pangu and Ali ALiceMind, self-developed frameworks such as Baidu Flying Paddle, first-class technology, the latest smart chips such as Cambrian, Tianzhi Zhixin and Denglin, and the world's first robot chemist and "black technology" such as craniotomy-free flexible brain-computer interface. The final SAIL Award will be held at the conference. During the conference, China's first "Trusted AI White Paper" and "Magnolia Open Data License Agreement" will also be released.

the most industry-wide ecology is reflected in four aspects

First, the full-stack industrial chain

The forum activities of the conference cover the whole industrial chain issues such as cutting-edge algorithms, smart chips, data bases, intelligent robots, autonomous driving, AI+ health, AI+ education, digital government, etc. At the same time, it pays attention to the linkage of "exhibition competition" and runs through the whole process of AI original innovation, achievement transformation, application landing and mass production.

Second, full-scene empowerment

The conference will release major application scenarios such as future hospitals, time and space AI, "smart government affairs office" and smart travel. In addition, central enterprises and state-owned enterprises such as CLP, China Mobile, Bank of Communications, State Grid, Baowu and SAIC will participate deeply to showcase the latest solutions for AI to empower digital transformation of traditional industries.

Third, global brands

The conference focused on enhancing the function of international dialogue, introducing the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) to Shanghai, and linking with UNIDO, UNESCO and other institutions to build overseas venues such as Germany, South Korea and Malaysia.

Fourth, all factors are gathered

The developer ecosystem is expanded, and the platforms such as International Open Source Foundation, Open Source China, Tsinghua Yao Ban, Magnolia Open Source and ACM Class of Jiaotong University are organically integrated. Talent activities are more abundant, and international talent recruitment fairs and talent forums are held. Investment and financing institutions gather, and relevant investment platforms are deeply involved. Governance norms were further voiced, forums on global governance, rule of law, security and standards of AI were held, and governance achievements such as "Digital Transformation Security Solution" and "Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Standard System" were released. In addition, forums such as youth, women, and science and technology winter Olympics will also present the diverse and rich side of AI.

in terms of the best application experience, it reflects the intelligent exhibition online and offline, and the intelligent experience on and off the site.

First, the exhibition content is richer.

The number of offline exhibitors is expected to exceed 3 this year, among which, the proportion of enterprises exhibiting for the first time exceeds 4%, and the proportion of enterprises outside Shanghai and foreign enterprises exceeds 5%. Highlights of the first exhibition include Shang Tang AR self-driving guided minibus, Meituan city low-altitude distribution network, Ubisoft large-scale humanoid service robot, original new products, intelligent photovoltaic detection system of China Mobile, and "Rubik's cube base" for digital transformation of star ring.

Second, the application experience is smarter

Use AI technology to hold an AI conference, and build an AI-enabled smart venue at the "core point" of the venue to present a boutique route of AI applications. Around the venue, we will create economic digital scenes such as unmanned driving and unmanned factory models, life digital scenes such as Shiboyuan smart business, and governance digital scenes such as "time and space AI" in Lingang New Area. The conference will also launch innovative activities such as digital RMB experience, AI+ the glory of the king e-sports, and welcome the general public and friends to participate in the experience.

Third, the exhibition on the cloud is more vivid

All forum activities of this year's conference will be broadcast live online except for a few closed meetings. The online cloud platform was upgraded to version 2., creating a cloud live broadcast, a cloud venue and a cloud exhibition to further enhance the interactive experience of the audience.
