Ten academicians lead the way to carry out the current practice and future exploration

It is a smart city for exchanging insights and sparking thoughts. The summit is an academic feast in the field of AI. Ten academicians from home and abroad, including Mr. Dai Qionghai, Lu Jun, He You, Meng Qinghu and Jiang Tianzi, joined hands with experts in various fields to deconstruct the current situation of AI business practice and explore the future development path of the intelligent industry, consequently, having brought very predictable and exemplary research results.

Eight wonderful reports, seamless collaboration between theoretical exploration and industry applications

From theoretical exploration to industrial application, Academician Dai Qionghai, He You, Lu Jun and Meng Qinghu, Researcher Zhang Zhaotian,  Dr. Zhou Bin and Zhou Bowen, as well as Professor Yang Qiang presented eight high-quality theme reports.

From the new generation of AI thinking to the combined research of AI complex thinking; from the analysis of intelligent robot technology to the exploration of marine intelligent industry; from the empowerment of traditional enterprises with computing power to the development of digital industry intelligence , the theme report gave clear details on specific hotspots and difficulties answer.

Dialogue between the two pinnacles, insights into the enlightenment during the pandemic and the opportunities after it

In the post-pandemic era, how do traditional industries that have been deeply affected buck the trend?
