Lu Tingjie of Beiyou University: 5G-A+AI promotes 5G to truly empower thousands of industries. News on December 18 (99) The end of artificial intelligence is computing power, and the end of computing power is energy. The main line of new productivity development is extending along 'energy' and 'information'! The 2024 Communications Industry Conference and the 19th Communications Technology Annual Conference were held in Beijing yesterday. Lu Tingjie, executive vice director of the China Information Economy Association and professor and doctoral supervisor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, said in the keynote speech at the main forum. Lu Tingjie elaborated on the opportunities and value of developing new productivity from aspects such as 5G/5G-A, artificial intelligence, computing network, and industrial metaverse. my country's fifth anniversary of 5G commercialization has achieved remarkable results. More than 4.1 million 5G base stations have been built and opened. 5G networks continue to extend to rural areas, realizing 5G connects every village . Industry applications are expanding to industry, medical, transportation and other fields. Currently, 5G technology continues to evolve towards 5G-A, and coupled with the arrival of the AI era, 5G will truly empower thousands of industries. Lu Tingjie pointed out that the development of artificial intelligence is divided into stages, from the single ability of weak artificial intelligence to the cognitive intelligence of strong artificial intelligence, and then to super artificial intelligence. Vertical applications have advantages in specific fields such as autonomous driving and face recognition, while general artificial intelligence requires training large models. Computing network is the core driving force of the digital economy, and operators are actively deploying it to build it into a public service platform to connect social computing power and realize computing as a service. With the help of high-speed network, industrial control, artificial intelligence and other technologies, the industrial metaverse plays an important role in multiple scenarios such as R&D and design, production and manufacturing, operation and maintenance management, and helps industrial digital transformation. The cost of trial and error is almost zero, and the demand for network and artificial intelligence is huge, which will form a huge application system. In addition, digital technologies such as VR, AR, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc. are applied in all aspects of the cultural and creative industry, giving rise to new formats such as immersive performing arts and AIGC, promoting the monetization of content, and realizing the transformation from transmitting information to transmitting value. Lu Tingjie concluded that various industries are facing changes and opportunities under the integration of communications and technology. All parties in the industry chain should grasp the trend, actively respond to it, and jointly promote industrial development to new heights
