Interview With Sun Pishu, Chairman Of The National People'S Congress And Chairman Of The Wave Group: The New Capital Construction Is The Main Battlefield Of The Wave.

"The new infrastructure has many opportunities for the wave. It is our main battlefield." On the afternoon of May 26th, Sun Pishu, chairman of the National People's Congress and chairman of the wave group, said in an interview with the economic report reporters in twenty-first Century.

"New infrastructure" is a new topic, but the wave is an old player. As a leading enterprise in the field of information technology, the wave has served the digital transformation of government and enterprises for a long time, so deep ploughing and layout have been made in the fields of industrial infrastructure, such as industrial Internet, block chain, artificial intelligence, data center and Intelligent Computing Center.

Sun Pishu said that "new infrastructure" is releasing some dividends, which will not only expand market demand, but also stimulate the development of new and high technology. So for the wave, the new infrastructure will also be an important starting point. On the one hand, it will continue to provide customers with good products and services. On the other hand, it should focus on core technology research and development, solve the problem of "necking" and improve the competitiveness of products.

In the two sessions this year, Sun Pishu submitted a proposal on promoting the new capital construction of Intelligent Computing Center and accelerating the industrialization of AI. In Sun Pishu's view, "the future demand for AI computing is the Intelligent Computing Center (Intelligent Computing Center), the data center and the Intelligent Computing Center as the future power source, and will be developed and popularized worldwide. This is a global development opportunity and the key to our future."

Construction of Intelligent Computing Center

In the development of data center, tide has been playing a very important role. At present, the wave has a complete data center full stack solution. It can build stable and reliable data center for customers through servers, storage, network and cloud sea OS.

According to the latest data from IDC, Gartner and other authoritative research institutions, the wave server has ranked the top three in the world and China's number one. In the field of AI server, the wave took three place in the first half of the year. At present, there is one wave of three servers installed on every machine in China, and one of every two running AI servers is wave manufacturing.

Sun Pishu told the twenty-first Century economic news reporter that the data center is actually a universal word, and the intelligence center is pointing more clearly. According to its introduction, the intelligence center will include three aspects: high performance computing, cloud computing and AI computing.

Computing power, algorithm and data have been called the three elements of AI development in the industry. Among them, the development of algorithm and data is relatively mature in China.

Sun Pishu also pointed out that artificial intelligence has become a new focus of international competition and a new engine of economic development as a strategic technology to lead the future. The continuous deepening of application scenarios and data streams is the unique advantage of developing AI in China. Therefore, building a computing center carrying huge AI computing needs has become the key to the overtaking of artificial intelligence in China.

The Intelligent Computing Center will use data as resource and provide AI Intelligent Computing for data deep processing by computing power to provide cloud computing services. In Sun Pishu's view, the power plant can provide power services to the outside world. The intelligent computing center can provide various computing services, data services and AI services to the outside world, making artificial intelligence computing power as easy to obtain and use as hydropower and coal.

Therefore, Sun Pishu suggested that the intelligence center should adopt an open mode, which is guided by the government, or even led by the government. The guidelines and standards should be issued, and the top-level design and overall planning should be done to ensure the standardization and orderliness of the intelligence center, and to ensure the integration of standards and interconnection among the computing centers, so as to avoid the emergence of new information islands.

It also believes that the current artificial intelligence is extending from technological innovation to industrialization, and is in the upgrading stage of "AI industrialization" and "industrial AI". With the introduction of new infrastructure related policies, from policy to capital to technology accumulation, the development of AI industry in our country will soon enter the fast lane. Compared with the industrialization of AI, the AI of the industry is the "underwater part of the iceberg", which will generate a large scale of trillions of scale.

At the same time, smart computing is growing rapidly, and it will occupy more than 80% of computing demand in the future. It will be the computing power production center and supply center in the age of wisdom, supporting intelligent services such as smart computing, smart city, intelligent manufacturing, and promoting AI industrialization to AI industry.

AI of force industry

In the 2019 fiscal year, the wave was further upgraded on the basis of the "cloud + number" strategy in the past and put forward the transformation to the new cloud Internet + +AI new Internet company. Its core is to vigorously develop cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other new generation of information technology.

In fact, as early as 2017, the wave officially released the "smart computing" strategy and began to lay out AI computing. In 2019, the wave also released an integrated system of artificial intelligence, "wave yuan brain", which delivered a one-stop artificial intelligence solution for computing, algorithm, framework, PaaS and services, and realized the "turn key project" of AI computing system.

In addition, the wave also launched the wave AI resources platform AI Station, and in fiscal year 2019 to deploy AI Station to the wave cloud, take a key step in the cloud on AI. At present, the AI capability of the wave has landed in many industries such as finance, manufacturing, retail and so on, and has helped them achieve intelligent upgrading.

Speaking of the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia outbreak in early 2008, Sun Pishu admitted to reporters that the epidemic has also promoted the development of the digital economy to a certain extent. For example, during the epidemic period, all kinds of online applications are very popular, and the demand for intellectualization of factories restores them, which has promoted the digital transformation of enterprises and governments to boost the development of digital economy.

At the same time, the "new infrastructure" policy is also driving digital upgrading of various industries. Sun Pishu pointed out that the "two banner" of digital economy is digital industrialization and industrial digitization. Among them, China's digital industrialization is basically at the same level as that of developed countries, but the gap of China's industrial digitalization is huge.

In its view, the path of industrial digital development is "cloud number intelligence". "Cloud computing is a new type of productive force. Big data is a new type of means of production. AI is a new type of production tool. Data dividends based on the utilization of data resources will determine the development of industrial digitalization."

Sun Pishu told reporters that the traditional Internet is transforming from to C to to B and to G, for example, BAT is expanding to the industrial Internet, and the wave as a new Internet Co is a typical 2C2B2G enterprise. "Wave has opened up the government, enterprises and consumers, making the interaction between the three, based on this business mode, the cooperation between the wave and other Internet companies will be far greater than competition."

Looking forward to the future, Sun Pishu said, "the core of the wave's future development is scientific and technological progress, especially the development of the new generation of information technology. The new kinetic energy is to make good use of information technology and promote social progress through innovation. Now, it is a consensus to rely on new kinetic energy to promote the transformation of new and old kinetic energy.
